-6x +20 >= -11x <br> solve the inequality

Applications 24. A rocket is launched into the air. Its height in feet, after x seconds, is given by the equation The starting h

SVEN [57.7K]

The given function is

$h(x)=-16x^2+300x+20$

According to this function, the starting height of the rocket is 20 feet because that's the initial condition of the problem stated by the independent term.

Additionally, we find the maximum height by calculating the vertex of the function V(h,k).

$h=-\frac{b}{2a}$

Where a = -16 and b = 300.

$\begin{gathered} h=-\frac{300}{2(-16)}=\frac{300}{32}=\frac{150}{16}=\frac{75}{8} \\ h=9.375 \end{gathered}$

Then, we find k by evaluating the function

$\begin{gathered} k=-16(9.375)^2+300(9.375)+20 \\ k=-1406.25+2812.5+20=1426.25 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the maximum height is 1426.25 feet.

At last, to know the time need to hit the ground, we just use h=9.375 and we multiply it by 2

$t=2\cdot9.375=18.75$

Hence, the rocket hits the ground after 18.75 seconds.

Last month, Katie started training for the swim team. She swam 20 laps every day for 18 training days. This month, Katie wants t

nasty-shy [4]

She swim 20 laps every day for 18 training days

so total laps done last month = 20*18 = 360 laps

She will swim 3 more laps per training day and add more training days to her monthly schedule.

20 laps + 3 laps = 23 laps

(a)If Katie adds 5 training days to her schedule this month, will she swim 215 more laps?

18 days + 5 days more = 23 days

23 laps every day for 23 training days

so total laps = 23*23 = 529 laps. That is 169 more laps than 360 laps done last month. Hence she cannot swim 215 more laps

If Katie adds 10 more training days to her schedule this month, will she swim 215 more laps?

18 days + 10 days more = 28 days

23 laps every day for 28 training days

so total laps = 23*28 =644 laps. That is 284 more laps than 360 laps done last month. Hence she can swim 215 more laps

(c)If Katie adds 6 more training days to her schedule this month, will she swim 215 more laps?

18 days + 6 days more = 24 days

23 laps every day for 24 training days

so total laps = 23*24 =552 laps. That is 192 more laps than 360 laps done last month. Hence she cannot swim 215 more laps

Build an equation for finding the number of additional training days she needs to swim 215 more laps

Let x be the number of days more

So training days = 18 + x

215 more laps , so total laps = 360 + 215 = 575

3 more laps per training day so 20 + 3 = 23 laps per day

laps * training days = total laps

so equation becomes

23 * (18+x) = 575

Now solve for x

414 + 23x = 575

Subtract 414 from both sides

23x = 161

x= 7

so she needs 7 training days to swim 215 more laps

AB is tangent to circle D. Find the value of x.

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

c 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Tangent AB is tangent to circle D at point A. The angle made by a tangent to a circle and a radius of the circle at the point of tangency is a right angle. That means that angle is a right angle, and triangle ABD is a right triangle.

We can use the Pythagoren theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

x^2 + 20^2 = (x + 10)^2

x^2 + 400 = (x + 10)(x + 10)

x^2 + 400 = x^2 + 10x + 10x + 100

400 = 20x + 100

20x = 300

x = 15

A circle has a diameter of 10 centimeters. of a sector with a central angle of 50 degrees is cut out, what is the area of this s

kramer

Answer:

D. 10.91 square centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a sector of a circle = $\frac{\theta}{360}\\$ $\pi$ $r^{2}$

where $\theta = 50^{o} C$

radius (r) = half of diameter = 10/2 = 5 cm

Area = $\frac{50}{360} * \frac{22}{7} * 5^{2}$

= 10.91 $cm^{2}$

10 POINTS!! PLEASE HELP ASAP!!

Ber [7]

If the polygons are similar, then we can set up a similarity ratio using sides AB and EF and any other 2 sides where both side lengths are given. That appears to be true for sides BC and FG. Our similarity ratio would be this then, going from the bigger polygon stuff on top and the smaller polygon stuff on bottom:

$\frac{8}{6}=\frac{6}{y}$ .

If we cross multiply we have 8y = 36 and divide both sides by 8 to get that y = 4.5. There you go!
