first the square root of 4 is 2 so we can sub that in.

now we have 2(2*2)^-2.

2 * 2 of course is 4

with 2(4)^-2, keep in mind that negative exponents just mean to "flip" the number and turn the exponents positive.

so 4^-2 is the same as 1/4^2 or 1/16.

finally 1/16 * 2 = 2/16. 2/16 simplified is 1/8.

katen-ka-za [31]

Cost per kg=(total cost)/(total kg)

total cost
coconut juice: 2kg, at $5/kg, so 5*2=$10
coconut milk: 8kg, at $3/kb, so 8*3=$24

total cost=10+24=$34

total kg=2+8=10

cost per kg=$34/10kg=$3.40per kg

darren has 3/4 of a gallon of soil.he needs to plant 5 small plants.if he splits the soil evenly between the plants.how much soi

nika2105 [10]

Number of plants = 5

Amount of soil present for 5 plants = 3/4 gallons

Now here we have to find how much soil will each plant get.

So we have to apply unitary method here to find how much would each plant get the share of soil.

Soil required by 5 plants = 3/4 gallons

Soil required by 1 plant = 3/4 divided by 5 = 3/20 gallons

Answer: Each plant will get 3/20 gallons of soil.

A juggler tosses a ball into the air . The balls height, h and time t seconds can be represented by the equation h(t)= -16t^2+40

malfutka [58]

PART A

The given equation is

$h(t) = - 16 {t}^{2} + 40t + 4$

In order to find the maximum height, we write the function in the vertex form.

We factor -16 out of the first two terms to get,

$h(t) = - 16 ({t}^{2} - \frac{5}{2} t) + 4$

We add and subtract

$- 16(- \frac{5}{4} )^{2}$

to get,

$h(t) = - 16 ({t}^{2} - \frac{5}{2} t) + - 16( - \frac{5}{4})^{2} - -16( - \frac{5}{4})^{2} + 4$

We again factor -16 out of the first two terms to get,

$h(t) = - 16 ({t}^{2} - \frac{5}{2} t + ( - \frac{5}{4})^{2} ) - -16( - \frac{5}{4})^{2} + 4$

This implies that,

$h(t) = - 16 ({t}^{2} - \frac{5}{2} t + ( - \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} ) + 16( \frac{25}{16}) + 4$

The quadratic trinomial above is a perfect square.

$h(t) = - 16 ( t- \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} +25+ 4$

This finally simplifies to,

$h(t) = - 16 ( t- \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} +29$

The vertex of this function is

$V( \frac{5}{4} ,29)$

The y-value of the vertex is the maximum value.

Therefore the maximum value is,

$29$

PART B

When the ball hits the ground,

$h(t) = 0$

This implies that,

$- 16 ( t- \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} +29 = 0$

We add -29 to both sides to get,

$- 16 ( t- \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} = - 29$

This implies that,

$( t- \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} = \frac{29}{16}$

$t- \frac{5}{4} = \pm \sqrt{ \frac{29}{16} }$

$t = \frac{5}{4} \pm \frac{ \sqrt{29} }{4}$

$t = \frac{ 5 + \sqrt{29} }{4} = 2.60$

or

$t = \frac{ 5 - \sqrt{29} }{4} = - 0.10$

Since time cannot be negative, we discard the negative value and pick,

$t = 2.60s$
