What does it mean to have diagonals bisect each other?

A ball is thrown into the air. The path it takes is modeled by the equation: -3t+24t = h, where t is the time in seconds and h i

astra-53 [7]

Given:

The given equation is:

$-3t^2+24t=h$

Where, t is the time in seconds and h is the height of the ball above the ground, measured in feet.

To find:

The inequality to model when the height of the ball is at least 36 feet above the ground. Then find time taken by ball to reach at or above 36 feet.

Solution:

We have,

$-3t^2+24t=h$

The height of the ball is at least 36 feet above the ground. It means $h\geq 36$ .

$-3t^2+24t\geq 36$

$-3t^2+24t-36\geq 0$

$-3(t^2-8t+12)\geq 0$

Splitting the middle term, we get

$-3(t^2-6t-2t+12)\geq 0$

$-3(t(t-6)-2(t-6))\geq 0$

$-3(t-2)(t-6)\geq 0$

The critical points are:

$-3(t-2)(t-6)=0$

$t=2,6$

These two points divide the number line in 3 intervals $(-\infty,2),(2,6),(6,\infty)$ .

Intervals Check point $-3(t-2)(t-6)\geq 0$ Result

$(-\infty,2)$ 0 $(-)(-)(-)=(-)$ False

$(2,6)$ 4 $(-)(+)(-)=+>0$ True

$(6,\infty)$ 8 $(-)(+)(+)=(-)$ False

The inequality is true for (2,6) and the sign of inequality is $\geq$ . So, the ball is above 36 feet between 2 to 6 seconds.

$6-2=4$

Therefore, the required inequality is $-3t^2+24t\geq 36$ and the ball is 36 feet above for 4 seconds.

Last year, Josh had $20,000 to invest. He invested some of it in an account that paid 7% simple interest per year, and he invest

Ilya [14]

Answer: $12000 was invested at 7% while $8000 was invested at 9%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, let the amount that was invested at 7% be n.

Therefore,

0.07n + 0.09(20000 - n) = 1560

0.07n + 1800 - 0.09n = 1560

-0.02n = 1560 - 1800

-0.02n = -240

n = 240/0.02

n = 120

Therefore, $12000 was invested at 7% while $8000 was invested at 9%.

Luis skates 2/3 mile from his home to school. Isabella skates 2/4 mile to get to school. Who skates father?

iogann1982 [59]

In order to figure out whether Luis or Isabella skates farther to get to school, we have to create a common denominator between the two fractions that represent the distance that each person walks.

The least common denominator of 3 and 4 is 12. This means that we have to change both fractions into equal fractions with denominators of 12.

To figure this out, we must set up a proportion.
2/3 = x/12
To solve this proportion, we must cross-multiply the fractions. We get:
24 = 3x
If we divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 3, to get the variable x alone, we get:
x = 8

Therefore, 2/3 = 8/12, so Luis skates 8/12 mile from his home to school.

If we do the same process for the 2/4 mile to get to school for Isabella, we get 6/12, because both fractions are equal to 1/2.

Therefore, we know that Luis skates 8/12 mile to school and Isabella skates 6/12 mile to get to school. Because they have the same denominator, we can just compare the numerators. We know that 8 is greater than 6, thus Luis skates farther to get to school.
