Answer:

5.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the interest rate, use the equation: I = prt

I = Interest = $6,600

p = principal = $15,000

r = rate = unknown

t = time = 8 years

Now plug the numbers into the equation.

6,600 = 15,000 * r * 8

6,600 = 120,000 * r

Now isolate the variable by dividing both sides of the equation by 120,000.

0.055 = r

Now change the rate to a percent by moving the decimal point 2 digits to the right.

5.5% = r OR r = 5.5%

A ball is thrown vertically in the air with a velocity of 90ft/s. Use the projectile formula h=−16t2+v0t to determine at what ti

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

$t=1.7 \ sec\ , t=4.0\ sec$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Vertical Throw</u>

It refers to a situation where an object is thrown verticaly upwards with some inicial speed v_o and let in free air (no friction) until it completes its movement up and finally returns to the very same point of lauch. The only acting force is gravity

The projectile formula is given as

$h=-16t^2+v_0t$

where t is time in seconds, h is the height in feet and v is the speed in ft/sec

We are required to find the time t where h=120 ft, knowing $v_o=90\ ft/sec$

$-16t^2+90t=120$

Rearranging

$-16t^2+90t-120=0$

This is a second-degree equation which will be solved with the formula

$\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{-90\pm \sqrt{90^2-4(-16)(-120)}}{2(-16)}$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{-90\pm \sqrt{1380}}{-32}$

Two solutions are obtained

$\boxed{t=1.7 \ sec\ , t= 4.\ sec}$

Both solutions are possible because the ball actually is at 120 ft in its way up and then when going down

Points A and B have opposite x-coordinates but the same y-coordinates. How many units away are each of the points from the y-axi

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

They are both x units away from the y-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

The x coordinates are x and -x so they are both x units away from the y-axis. The total distance between the 2 points is x -(-x) = 2x units.

Kayla wants to represent "18 divided by the sum of 3 and 3". She writes 8/(3x3) . Is Kayla's expression correct? Explain using c

Naya [18.7K]

no it is not correct. 18 divided by the sum of 3 and 3 equals 18 ÷ (3+3)

"sum of 3 and 3 " means 3+3 therefore 8/(3x3) = 8/9 and is completely different from the equation desired to be represented.

Answer:

12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up an equation:

Variable x = height of the scale model

3/18 = x/72

Cross multiply:

3 × 72 = 18 × x

216 = 18x

Divide both sides by 18:

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides of a parallelogram are parallel, which means 25x and 100 are alternate angles and therefore equal.

25x=100
