Answer:

  • 14 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is representing the graph of parabola which opens down and its pick is its vertex

<u>The vertex is calculated by vertex formula:</u>

  • x = -b/2a for the equation y = ax² + bx + c

<u>In our case t is the vertex and its value is:</u>

  • t = -42/(-1.5*2) = 42/3 = 14 seconds

This question is Incomplete

Complete Question

Researchers recorded the speed of ants on trails in their natural environments. The ants studied, Leptogenys processionalis, all have the same body size in their adult phase, which made it easy to measure speeds in units of body lengths per second (bl/s). The researchers found that, when traffic is light and not congested, ant speeds vary roughly Normally, with mean 6.20 bl/s and standard deviation 1.58 bl/s. (a) What is the probability that an ant's speed in light traffic is faster than 5 bl/s? You may find Table B useful. (Enter your answer rounded to four decimal places.)

Answer:

0.7762

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve using z score formula

z = (x-μ)/σ, where

x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

Population mean = 6.20 bl/s

Standard deviation = 1.58 bl/s.

x = 5 bl/s

z = 5 - 6.20/1.58

z = -0.75949

The probability that an ant's speed in light traffic is faster than 5 bl/s is P( x > 5)

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x<5) = 0.22378

P(x>5) = 1 - P(x<5)

= 1 - 22378

= 0.77622

Approximately to 4 decimal places = 0.7762

The probability that an ant's speed in light traffic is faster than 5 bl/s is 0.7762

Peter is buying office supplies he is able to buy three packages of paper in for staplers for $40 or he is able to buy five pack
Damm [24]

<u>Answer:</u>

Cost of package of paper = 4$

Cost of stapler = 7$

<u>Explanation:</u>

Consider the cost of package of paper = x and that of stapler = y.

Now, we are given that cost of 3 paper packages and 4 staplers = 40$

Hence we get, 3x + 4y = 40 as 1st equation.

we are also given, cost of 5 paper packages and 6 staplers = 62$

Hence, the second equation is 5x + 6y = 62

Now, solving the two equations by method of elimination, we first equate coefficients of any one variable say x by multiplying 1st equation by 5 and second by 3 we get ->

15x + 20y = 200

15x + 18y= 186

Subtracting the two we get y = 7 and substituting this value of y in first equation we get x = 4

which gives the required cost of one paper package = x = 4$

and one stapler = y = 7$

Answer: it is equal

Step-by-step explanation: you subtract 15-4 which equals 11. the exponent is the only thing being subtracted since it's a fraction. therefore it equals 10(11)
