If I understand you, a person eats about 14 pounds of turkey a year. So we will divide all that turkey (1120 pounds) by 14 to find out how many years.
1,120 ÷ 14 = 80 So it will take 80 years. (Since babies can't eat that much turkey a year it will actually take more than 80 years - or the person can eat more than 14 pounds in some years to make up for their early years when they ate less) I know it's a math question, but I also like to be realistic about it. Who measures the amount of turkey they eat yearly anyway? :-)
I believe it's four times as great : )
Step-by-step explanation:
You can solve systems of equations using either substitution or elimination. For these problems, I recommend elimination. I'll do the first one as an example.
-3x + 16y = 9
-4x + 8y = 12
Multiply the second equation by -2.
8x − 16y = -24
Add to the first equation (notice the y's cancel out).
(-3x + 16y) + (8x − 16y) = 9 − 24
5x = -15
Solve for x.
x = -3
Now you can plug this into either equation to find y.
-3(-3) + 16y = 9
9 + 16y = 9
y = 0
The solution is (-3, 0).
the maximum height is the y-value of the vertex.
h(x) = -2x² + 20x + 48
<em> a=-2, b=20, c=48</em>
h(5) = -2(5)² + 20(5) + 48
= -50 + 100 + 48
= 50 + 48
= 98
Answer: 98 meters
ANSWER
By simplifying the left hand side using the Pythagorean Identity.
EXPLANATION
The given identity is
Take the left hand side and simplify to get the right hand side.
Collect LCM for the denominators.
Recall the Pythagorean Identity.
This implies that:
We substitute this to get,
