P varies directly as Q and inversely as the square of R. If P = 1 when Q = 8 and R = 2.

If 3/4 of a certain number is equal to 41/2 find the number

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

$x = \frac{82}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

let $x$ be that number

$(\frac{3}{4} )x = \frac{41}{2}$

$\frac{3x}{4} = \frac{41}{2}$

multiply both sides by $4$

$\frac{3x}{4} * 4 = 4 * \frac{41}{2} \\3x = \frac{41 }{2} * 2 * 2\\3x = 41 *2 \\3x = 82 \\$

divide both sides by 3

$\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{82}{3}$

$x = \frac{82}{3}$

Suppose B is a proper subset of C,

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Maximum: 7

Minimum: 0

Step-by-step explanation:

A proper subset B of a set C, denoted $B\subset C$ , is a subset that is strictly contained in C and so necessarily excludes at least one member of C.

This means that the number of elements in B must be at least 1 less than the number of elements in C. If the number of elements in C is 8, then the maximum number of elements in B can be 7.

The empty set is a proper subset of any nonempty set. Hence, the minimum number of elements in B can be 0.

5/6-1/8 Solve by finding a common denominator A)30/48 B)34/48 C)38/48 D)42/48

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

B) 34/48

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest common denominator to find is the product of the denominators you have.

__

The difference is ...

$\dfrac{5}{6}-\dfrac{1}{8}=\dfrac{5}{6}\cdot\dfrac{8}{8}-\dfrac{1}{8}\cdot\dfrac{6}{6}\\\\=\dfrac{40-6}{48}=\boxed{\dfrac{34}{48}}$

__

Additional comment

The difference numerator and denominator have a common factor of 2, so can be reduced to 17/24. The denominator 24 could have been used as the common denominator from the start.

5/6 -1/8 = 20/24 -3/24 = 17/24 . . . . reduced result

__

Using the least common denominator does not always result in a reduced sum or difference. If some other denominator is used (as here), then you can be assured that the result will need to be reduced to get to lowest terms.

Jimmy threw a baseball in the air from the roof of his house. The path followed by the baseball can be modeled by the function f

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first part of A is easy. Look at the quadratic function, and the constant, the very last number with no t stuck to it represents the height from which the object in question was originally launched. Our constant is 40, so the height of the roof from which the baseball was thrown is 40 feet. Part 2 of A is not quite as simple because it requires factoring using the quadratic formula.Before we do that, let's make our numbers a bit more manageable, shall we? Let's factor out a -8 to get

$f(t) = -(t^2-6t-5)$ and a = 1, b = -6, c = -5.

Filling in the quadratic formula now looks like this:

$t=\frac{6+-\sqrt{6^2-4(1)(-5)} }{2(1)}$ and

$t=\frac{6+-\sqrt{36+40} }{2}$ and

$t=\frac{6+-\sqrt{56} }{2}$ so the 2 solutions are

$t=\frac{6+\sqrt{56} }{2}=6.74sec$ and

$t=\frac{6-\sqrt{56} }{2}=-.742sec$ and since we know time can NEVER be negative, the time it takes for the baseball to hit the ground from a height of 40 feet is 6.74 seconds. Onto part B.

In order to determine exactly how high the baseball did go, we have to find the vertex of the function. We do this by completing the square and getting the function into vertex, or work, form. Begin by setting the quadratic equal to 0, moving over the constant, and then factoring out the leading coefficient. The rule for completing the square are kinda picky in that you have to have a 1 as the leading coefficient, and righ now ours is a -8. So following the rules I stated above:

$-8(t^2-6t)=-40$ Next is the take half the linear term, square it, and then add it to both sides. Our linear term is a -6. Half of -6 is -3, and -3 squared is 9, so we add 9 into the parenthesis first:

$-8(t^2-6t+9)=-40+??$

Because this is an equation, we can't add 9 to one side without adding the equivalent to the other side. But, we cannot forget about that -8 sitting out front there, refusing to be ignored. We didn't just add in a 9, we actually added in a -8 times 9 which is -72. That's what goes on the right side in place of the ??.

$-8(t^2-6t+9)=-40-72$

The reason we complete the square is found on the left side of the equals sign. We have, in the process of completing the square, formed a perfect square binomial that will serve as the h in our vertex (h, k) where h is the number of seconds it takes for the baseball to reach its max height of k, whatever k is. That's what we have to find out. Putting the left side into its simplified perfect square binomial and adding the numbers on the right gives us:

$-8(t-3)^2=-112$

For the last step, add over the -112 and set it back equal to f(t):

$-8(t-3)^2+112=f(t)$ From that we determine that the vertex is (3, 112). The max height of this baseball was 112 feet...so no, it did not make it up to the height of 120 feet that Jimmy wanted for the baseball.
