4 0

Answer:

no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3(x - 3) = 3x , that is

3x - 9 = 3x ( add 9 to both sides )

3x = 3x + 9 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

0 = 9 ← not possible

This indicates the equation has no solution

The equation h(t) = -16t² + 80t + 64 represented the height, in feet, of a potato t seconds after it has been launched.

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

Part A) The potato hit the ground at t=5.70 seconds (see the explanation)

Part B) The potato is 40 feet off the ground at the time t=5.28 seconds (see the explanation)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$h(t)=-16t^2+80t+64$

where

h(t) is the height of a potato in feet

t is the time in seconds

Part A) Write an equation that can be solved to find when the potato hits the ground. Then solve the equation

we know that

When the potato hit the ground, the value of h(t) must be equal to zero

For h(t)=0

$-16t^2+80t+64=0$

Solve the quadratic equation

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

$ax^{2} +bx+c=0$

is equal to

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

in this problem we have

$-16t^2+80t+64=0$

$a=-16\\b=80\\c=64$

substitute in the formula

$t=\frac{-80\pm\sqrt{80^{2}-4(-16)(64)}} {2(-16)}$

$t=\frac{-80\pm\sqrt{10,496}} {-32}$

$t=\frac{-80+\sqrt{10,496}} {-32}=-0.70$

$t=\frac{-80-\sqrt{10,496}} {-32}=5.70$

therefore

The potato hit the ground at t=5.70 seconds

Part B) Write an equation that can be solved to find when the potato is 40 feet off the ground. Then solve the equation

For h(t)=40 ft

substitute in the quadratic equation

$-16t^2+80t+64=40$

$-16t^2+80t+24=0$

Solve the quadratic equation

we have

$a=-16\\b=80\\c=24$

substitute in the formula

$t=\frac{-80\pm\sqrt{80^{2}-4(-16)(24)}} {2(-16)}$

$t=\frac{-80\pm\sqrt{7,936}} {-32}$

$t=\frac{-80+\sqrt{7,936}} {-32}=-0.28$

$t=\frac{-80-\sqrt{7,936}} {-32}=5.28$

therefore

The potato is 40 feet off the ground at the time t=5.28 seconds

Find each unit rate <br> 1)78mi on 3gal<br> 2)$52.50 in 7 hours<br> 3)416 mi in 8 hours

Andreas93 [3]

1) Unit Rate = 26:1
We already know that for every 3 gallons, you can travel 78 miles. Divide 78 by 3 to get 26. The 26 stands for how many miles you can travel on one gallon.

2) Unit Rate = $7.50:1
Since we already know that for every 7 hours, you earn $52.50, divide 52.50 by 7 to get 7.50. The 7.50 represents how much money you earn in 1 hour.

3) Unit Rate = 52:1
Since you can travel 416 miles in 8 hours, divide 416 by 8 to get 52. The 52 represents how many mile you can travel in 1 hour alone.

Here's a little hint too: (If I remember correctly) For unit rates, it's always going to be *any number* to 1. So even if it's a decimal or a negative, the other side of the rate always has to be 1 :)

Dara has 12 red counters. She has 7 more red counters than yellow counters. How many yellow counters does Dara have?

pantera1 [17]

12 red counters

7 more red counters than yellow counters

12 - 7 = 5 yellow counters

Dara has 5 yellow counters.

Can someone please help me understand how to answer for x, y? Thank you so much!

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

X = 45°

Y = 72°

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a supplementary angle (an pair of angles that create a straight line is equal to 180°) and there is the rule that all three angles in a triangle equal 180° as well.
