If i’m not mistaken it should be 55 because if you find the area of the whole triangle and subtract the mini rectangle you should get the shape

I’m pretty sure the answer is 15. this is because i split the triangle into 2 parts, then i multiplied 5x4 for the first triangle which equals 20, but then u have to divide it by 2 bc the formula for a triangle is A=1/2 (b x h) so then the answer for the first triangle is 10. now you have to do it to the other little triangle which gives u 5. at this point you have to add 10+5 which gives you 15. therefore the answer for this question is 15. i hope this helps!

Why is 2/3 greater than 3/5? Explain this to an 8 year old

$\text{Hey there!}$

$\bf{\frac{2}{3}=0.6\overline{6}7}\\\\ \bf{\frac{3}{5}=0.60}$

$\text{Reason: if you use a fraction pie chart and compare}\frac{2}{3} \text{to}\frac{3}{5}, \text{you'd see that}\frac{2}{3}$ $\text{has more shaded areas than as for}\frac{3}{5}\text{has the least amount}$

A juggler tosses a ball into the air . The balls height, h and time t seconds can be represented by the equation h(t)= -16t^2+40

malfutka [58]

PART A

The given equation is

$h(t) = - 16 {t}^{2} + 40t + 4$

In order to find the maximum height, we write the function in the vertex form.

We factor -16 out of the first two terms to get,

$h(t) = - 16 ({t}^{2} - \frac{5}{2} t) + 4$

We add and subtract

$- 16(- \frac{5}{4} )^{2}$

to get,

$h(t) = - 16 ({t}^{2} - \frac{5}{2} t) + - 16( - \frac{5}{4})^{2} - -16( - \frac{5}{4})^{2} + 4$

We again factor -16 out of the first two terms to get,

$h(t) = - 16 ({t}^{2} - \frac{5}{2} t + ( - \frac{5}{4})^{2} ) - -16( - \frac{5}{4})^{2} + 4$

This implies that,

$h(t) = - 16 ({t}^{2} - \frac{5}{2} t + ( - \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} ) + 16( \frac{25}{16}) + 4$

The quadratic trinomial above is a perfect square.

$h(t) = - 16 ( t- \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} +25+ 4$

This finally simplifies to,

$h(t) = - 16 ( t- \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} +29$

The vertex of this function is

$V( \frac{5}{4} ,29)$

The y-value of the vertex is the maximum value.

Therefore the maximum value is,

$29$

PART B

When the ball hits the ground,

$h(t) = 0$

This implies that,

$- 16 ( t- \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} +29 = 0$

We add -29 to both sides to get,

$- 16 ( t- \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} = - 29$

This implies that,

$( t- \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} = \frac{29}{16}$

$t- \frac{5}{4} = \pm \sqrt{ \frac{29}{16} }$

$t = \frac{5}{4} \pm \frac{ \sqrt{29} }{4}$

$t = \frac{ 5 + \sqrt{29} }{4} = 2.60$

or

$t = \frac{ 5 - \sqrt{29} }{4} = - 0.10$

Since time cannot be negative, we discard the negative value and pick,

$t = 2.60s$
