Answer: 8.3 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

simple, there's a flat fee for 1 ounce, then 23 cents for each ounce following.

so $2 - $0.32 = $1.68

1.67 / 0.23 = 7.3 ounces

7.3 ounces + 1 ounces (from the flat fee we subtracted)

which equals 8.3

The graph h = −16t^2 + 25t + 5 models the height and time of a ball that was thrown off of a building where h is the height in f

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

part 1) 0.78 seconds

part 2) 1.74 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

At about what time did the ball reach the maximum?

Let

h ----> the height of a ball in feet

t ---> the time in seconds

we have

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

This is a vertical parabola open downward (the leading coefficient is negative)

The vertex represent a maximum

so

The x-coordinate of the vertex represent the time when the ball reach the maximum

Find the vertex

Convert the equation in vertex form

Factor -16

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

Complete the square

$h(t)=-16(t^{2}-\frac{25}{16}t+\frac{625}{1,024})+5+\frac{625}{64}$

$h(t)=-16(t^{2}-\frac{25}{16}t+\frac{625}{1,024})+\frac{945}{64}\\h(t)=-16(t^{2}-\frac{25}{16}t+\frac{625}{1,024})+\frac{945}{64}$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$h(t)=-16(t-\frac{25}{32})^{2}+\frac{945}{64}$

The vertex is the point $(\frac{25}{32},\frac{945}{64})$

therefore

The time when the ball reach the maximum is 25/32 sec or 0.78 sec

step 2

At about what time did the ball reach the minimum?

we know that

The ball reach the minimum when the the ball reach the ground (h=0)

For h=0

$0=-16(t-\frac{25}{32})^{2}+\frac{945}{64}$

$16(t-\frac{25}{32})^{2}=\frac{945}{64}$

$(t-\frac{25}{32})^{2}=\frac{945}{1,024}$

square root both sides

$(t-\frac{25}{32})=\pm\frac{\sqrt{945}}{32}$

$t=\pm\frac{\sqrt{945}}{32}+\frac{25}{32}$

the positive value is

$t=\frac{\sqrt{945}}{32}+\frac{25}{32}=1.74\ sec$

A candy maker buys a bar of chocolate weighing 162 oz. About how many lb does the bar weigh?

Natali [406]

Use dimensional analysis. 1 lb = 16 oz will be the conversion factor. 162 oz x (1 lb/16 oz) = 10.125 lb.

Find the square: (5x - 4y)2 <br><br> (and please put the process of solving the equation)

satela [25.4K]

$(5x-4y)^2$
$(5x-4y)(5x-4y)$

Multiply each term in one bracket in turn by the terms in the other bracket

$(5x)(5x) = 25x^2$
$(5x)(-4y)=-20xy$
$(-4y)(5x)=-20xy$
$(-4y)(-4y)=16y^2$

Put them together we have
$25x^2-20xy-20xy-16y^2$
$25x^2-40xy-16y^2$

Select all the conditions for which it is possible to construct a triangle. (7.G.1.2) Group of answer choices a. A triangle with

saw5 [17]

Answer:

b, d, e, f

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are the applicable restrictions:

The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°, no more, no less.
The sum of the lengths of the two shortest sides exceeds the longest side.
When two sides and the angle opposite the shortest is given, the sine of the given angle must be at most the ratio of the shortest to longest sides.

a. A triangle with angle measures 60°, 80°, and 80° (angle sum ≠ 180°, not OK)

b. A triangle with side lengths 4 cm, 5 cm, and 6 cm (4+5 > 6, OK)

c. A triangle with side lengths 4 cm, 5 cm, and 15 cm (4+5 < 15, not OK)

d. A triangle with side lengths 4 cm, 5 cm, and a 50° angle across from the 4 cm side (sin(50°) ≈ 0.766 < 4/5, OK)

e. A triangle with angle measures 30° and 60°, and an included 3 cm side length (OK)

f. A triangle with angle measures 60°, 20°, and 100° (angle sum = 180°, OK)

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

In choice "e", two angles and the side between them are specified. As long as the sum of the two angles is less than 180°, a triangle can be formed. The length of the side is immaterial with respect to whether a triangle can be made.

The congruence postulates for triangles are ...

SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, and HL

These essentially tell you the side and angle specifications necessary to define <em>a singular triangle</em>. As we discussed above, the triangle inequality puts limits on the side lengths specified in SSS. The angle sum theorem puts limits on the angles when only two are specified (ASA, AAS).

In terms of sides and angles, the HL postulate is equivalent to an SSA theorem, where the angle is 90°. In that case, the angle is opposite the longest side (H). In general, SSA will specify a singular triangle when the angle is opposite the <em>longest</em> specified side, regardless of that angle's measure. However, when the angle is opposite the <em>shortest</em> specified side, the above-described ratio restriction holds. If the sine of the angle is <em>less than</em> the ratio of sides, then <em>two possible triangles are specified</em>.
