In-s [12.5K]2 years ago
5 0

Step-by-step explanation:

let the percent of found balloons be x

given,

total number of balloons= 70

number of found balloons= 28

according to the question,

x% of 70= 28

x/100 × 70 = 28

x=40

hence 40% of the balloons were found

A soccer ball was kicked in the air and follows the path h(x)=−2x2+1x+6, where x is the time in seconds and h is the height of t
madam [21]

The ball will hit the ground at 2 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The path of the ball = h(x)=−2x2+1x+6

Here,

x is the time while h is the height of ball.

When the ball will hit the ground, the height will become zero. Therefore,

h(x)=−2x2+1x+6

0 =−2x2+1x+6

or

2x2 -1x - 6 = 0

This is a quadratic equation, hence by applying quadratic equation formula:

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

here,

a = 2

b = -1

c = -6

Putting these values in formula, we get

x = \frac{-(-1) +- \sqrt{-1^{2} - 4.2.-6 }   }{2.2}

x = \frac{1 +- \sqrt{1 + 48 }   }{4}

x = \frac{1 +- \sqrt{49 }   }{4}

x = \frac{1 +- 7   }{4}

x = 2, -3/2

As the time cannot be negative. Therefore, the ball will hit the ground at 2 seconds.

Suppose you have already been waiting for one hour for a taxi. what is the probability that one arrives within the next 10 minut
Alona [7]

The probability of one arrives within the next 10 minutes when he already been waiting for one jour for a taxi is,

 

P (X > 70 | X > 60) = P (X > 10) = 1 – P (X ≤ 10) = 1 – {1 – e ^ -((1 / 10) 10)} = e ^ -1

= 0.3679

 

The probability of one arrives within the next 10 minutes when he already been waiting for one hour for a taxi is 0.3679

The GCF of 24 and 32 is
Oksana_A [137]

Start by setting up a factor tree for each number.

Factor in anyway that you'd like.

At the end, circle all prime numbers.

Remember, prime numbers are numbers

with only 2 factors, 1 and the number itself.

Now write these factors in least to greatest

multiplying them separate rows.

Circle factors they have in common.

Since 3 pairs of two's match up, multiply by 2 three times to get 8.

So the GCF is 8.
