To celebrate her birthday, Whitney wants to take her friends adventuring in a 4WD vehicle from All Terrain Tours.

IgorC [24]

Answer:

Whitney can bring 6 friends.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason why is this:

Whitney is bringing 400 pounds of things plus her own body weight!

400 + 165 = 565 pounds

Now we add on Whitneys freinds which is 165 (their body weight) + the 10 pounds of gear which equals 175 pounds. So each friend would be 175 pounds total weight.

175 x 6 = 1,050 pounds

If we add on Whitneys total weight thats:

565 + 1,050 = 1,615

Adding on another friend would be 1,790 pounds which would be over the weight limit for the vehicle.

Hence, Whitney can bring along 6 friends for her birthday.

Hope this helped! :)

Solve the formula for the variable h f=12gh

Contact [7]

To solve for variable h flip the equation. You get: 12gh=f. After, divide both sides by 12 to get your answer: h=f/12g

The stock of Company A lost $4.17 throughout the day and ended at a value of

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

4%

Step-by-step explanation:

After losing 4.17, it came down to 100.08, so the opening price was:

100.08 + 4.17 = 104.25

To find percentage decline, we find the ratio of the "change" (which is 4.17) divided by the opening (original) price, which is 104.25. Then we multiply that fraction by 100 to get our percentage decline.

So,

$\frac{4.17}{104.25}*100=4$

Thus, the

percentage decline = 4%

The area of the triangle formed by x− and y− intercepts of the parabola y=0.5(x−3)(x+k) is equal to 1.5 square units. Find all p

Juliette [100K]

Check the picture below.

based on the equation, if we set y = 0, we'd end up with 0 = 0.5(x-3)(x-k).

and that will give us two x-intercepts, at x = 3 and x = k.

since the triangle is made by the x-intercepts and y-intercepts, then the parabola most likely has another x-intercept on the negative side of the x-axis, as you see in the picture, so chances are "k" is a negative value.

now, notice the picture, those intercepts make a triangle with a base = 3 + k, and height = y, where "y" is on the negative side.

let's find the y-intercept by setting x = 0 now,

$\bf y=0.5(x-3)(x+k)\implies y=\cfrac{1}{2}(x-3)(x+k)\implies \stackrel{\textit{setting x = 0}}{y=\cfrac{1}{2}(0-3)(0+k)} \\\\\\ y=\cfrac{1}{2}(-3)(k)\implies \boxed{y=-\cfrac{3k}{2}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{area of a triangle}}{A=\cfrac{1}{2}bh}~~ \begin{cases} b=3+k\\ h=y\\ \quad -\frac{3k}{2}\\ A=1.5\\ \qquad \frac{3}{2} \end{cases}\implies \cfrac{3}{2}=\cfrac{1}{2}(3+k)\left(-\cfrac{3k}{2} \right)$

$\bf \cfrac{3}{2}=\cfrac{3+k}{2}\left( -\cfrac{3k}{2} \right)\implies \stackrel{\textit{multiplying by }\stackrel{LCD}{2}}{3=\cfrac{(3+k)(-3k)}{2}}\implies 6=-9k-3k^2 \\\\\\ 6=-3(3k+k^2)\implies \cfrac{6}{-3}=3k+k^2\implies -2=3k+k^2 \\\\\\ 0=k^2+3k+2\implies 0=(k+2)(k+1)\implies k= \begin{cases} -2\\ -1 \end{cases}$

now, we can plug those values on A = (1/2)bh,

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{using k = -2}}{A=\cfrac{1}{2}(3+k)\left(-\cfrac{3k}{2} \right)}\implies A=\cfrac{1}{2}(3-2)\left(-\cfrac{3(-2)}{2} \right)\implies A=\cfrac{1}{2}(1)(3) \\\\\\ A=\cfrac{3}{2}\implies A=1.5 \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{using k = -1}}{A=\cfrac{1}{2}(3+k)\left(-\cfrac{3k}{2} \right)}\implies A=\cfrac{1}{2}(3-1)\left(-\cfrac{3(-1)}{2} \right) \\\\\\ A=\cfrac{1}{2}(2)\left( \cfrac{3}{2} \right)\implies A=\cfrac{3}{2}\implies A=1.5$
