Mathematics

Dvinal [7]3 years ago

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

lets say that the small number is x, the consecutive one must be x+1

x(x+1) = x²+5 ; distribute x

x²+x = x²+5 ; subtract x² from both sides

x= 5

check :

5*6 = 30

5²+5 = 25+5 = 30

It rained 18 days during the month of April what percentage of day did it not rain during the month of April
kotykmax [81]
There are 30 days in April.

If 18 days had rain, it means 12 didn't.

18/30=x/100

Make sure both fractions can be made into fractions with a denominator of 100:

180/300=x/100

Divide 180/300 by 3:

60/100=x/100

This shows that the 18 days that did rain take up 60% of the whole month.

So then the remaining 12 days that didn't have rain must take up 40% of the month.

Solution:
40% of the days did not have rain during the month of April

A firecracker reaches a height of h feet before it bursts. The height h is modeled by h = −16t2 + vt + c, where v is the initial
daser333 [38]

General Idea:

If we have a quadratic function of the form f(x)=ax^{2} +bx+c , then the function will attain its maximum value only if a < 0 & its maximum value will be at x=-\frac{b}{2a} .

Applying the concept:

The height h is modeled by h = −16t^2 + vt + c, where v is the initial velocity, and c is the beginning height of the firecracker above the ground. The firecracker is placed on the roof of a building of height 15 feet and is fired at an initial velocity of 100 feet per second. Substituting 15 for c and 100 for v, we get the function as h=-16t^2+100t+15.

Comparing the function f(x)=ax^{2} +bx+c with the given function h=-16t^{2} +100t+15, we get a = -16, b = 100 and c=15.

The maximum height of the soccer ball will occur at t=\frac{-b}{2a}=\frac{-100}{2(-16)} = \frac{-100}{-32}=3.125 seconds

The maximum height is found by substituting t=3.125 in the function as below:

h=-16(3.125)^2+100(3.125)+15=171.25 feet

Conclusion:

<u>Yes !</u> The firecracker reaches a height of 100 feet before it bursts.
