this can be turned into an equation to be solved more easily. so the amount of bananas can be x. there are 17 peaches. So the equation would be:

(17 - 3) ÷ 2 = x

you begin with what's inside the parenthesis

17 - 3 = 14.

14 ÷2 = 7

x = 7

there are 7 bananas in the bag of bananas

A football is kicked toward an end zone with an initial vertical velocity of 30 ft/s. The function h(t) = -16+ 30t models the he

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

A. The football does not reach a height of 15ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$h(t) = -16t^2 + 30t$

Required

Determine which of the options is true

The option illustrates the height reached by the ball.

To solve this, we make use of maximum of a function

For a function f(x)

Such that:

$f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$ :

$f(\frac{-b}{2a}) = maximum/minimum$

i.e we first solve for $\frac{-b}{2a}$

Then substitute $\frac{-b}{2a}$ for x in $f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$

In our case:

First we need to solve $\frac{-b}{2a}$

Then substitute $\frac{-b}{2a}$ for t in $h(t) = -16t^2 + 30t$

By comparison:

$b = 30$

$c = -16$

$\frac{-b}{2a} = \frac{-30}{2 * -16}$

$\frac{-b}{2a} = \frac{-30}{-32}$

$\frac{-b}{2a} = \frac{30}{32}$

$\frac{-b}{2a} = \frac{15}{16}$

Substitute $\frac{15}{16}$ for t in $h(t) = -16t^2 + 30t$

$h(\frac{15}{16}) = -16(\frac{15}{16})^2 + 30(\frac{15}{16})$

$h(\frac{15}{16}) = -16(\frac{225}{256}) + \frac{450}{16}$

$h(\frac{15}{16}) = -(\frac{225}{16}) + \frac{450}{16}$

$h(\frac{15}{16}) = \frac{-225 + 450}{16}$

$h(\frac{15}{16}) = \frac{225}{16}$

$h(\frac{15}{16}) = 14.0625$

This implies that the maximum height reached is 14.0625ft.

So, the option that answers the question is A because $14.0625 < 15$

Simplify the following expression:<br><br> 2(x+7) - (x+2)

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

$(2)(x)+(2)(7) + (-1)(x) + (-1)(2)$
$2x + 14 -x -2$
$(2x-x)+(14-2)$
$x + 12$

Therefore, the answer is x + 12.

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

$x=\frac{18000}{7}=2571\frac{3}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total amount be x

Then Ali got 1/8x With 7/8x left

Juma got 7/40x with 7/10x left

Musa, Khalid and Mustafa got 7/30x each

since $\frac{7}{30}x=600$

7x=18000

$x=\frac{18000}{7}=2571\frac{3}{7}$
