Answer:

The equation for the height of the penny in function of time is:

h(t)=1451-16t^2

After 7 seconds, the penny will be at a height of 667 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The penny will have a free fall.

The initial velocity is zero, and the initial height is h(0)=1,451.

The acceleration will be the gravity, that has a value g=32 ft/s^2.

Then, we can model this starting by the speed:

dv/dt=-g\\\\v(t)=v_0-gt=-gt

Then, the height becomes:

dh/dt=v(t)=-gt\\\\h(t)=h_0-\dfrac{gt^2}{2}=1451-\dfrac{32}{2}t^2\\\\\\h(t)=1451-16t^2

The approximate height of the penny after 7 seconds can be calculated as:

h(7)=1451-16(7^2)=1451-16*49=1451-784=667

After 7 seconds, the penny will be at a height of 667 feet.

Line M passes through the points (5,1) and (8,6) while line n passes through the point (-4,3) and (-1,8) . Which statement accur
kirill [66]
M=(6-1)/(8-5)=5/3

y=5x/3+b, using (5,1)

1=25/3+b

b=-22/3

y=(5x-22)/3

...

m=(8-3)/(-1--4)=5/3...

y=5x/3+b, using (-1,8)

8=-5/3+b

b=29/3

y=(5x+29)/3

Since they have the same slope and difference y-intercepts they are parallel lines and will never intersect.

The price of a bag of popcorn at a basketball game increased from $3.10 to $3.75. The concession stand sold 290 bags of popcorn.
USPshnik [31]

As a result of the price increase, an additional $188.50 was made.

The first step here is to find out the increased revenue that was earned on each bag of popcorn:

<em>= New price - old price </em>

= 3.75 - 3.10

= $0.65

The concession stand sold 290 units so the increased amount that was earned was:

<em>= Incremental revenue x Number of units sold </em>

= 0.65 x 290

= $188.50

In conclusion, an additional $188.50 was made.
