Answer:

88%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Original amount = $ 90

Discounted amount = $ 79.20

Percentage of discount =?

Let the percentage of discount be y %

Thus, we can obtain the value of y as follow:

y /100 × 90 = 79.20

90y /100 = 79.20

Cross multiply

90y = 100 × 79.20

90y = 7920

Divide both side by 90

y = 7920/90

y = 88

Thus, the percentage discount of the blender is 88%

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Part a) About 48.6 feet

Part b) About 8.3 feet

Part c) The domain is $0 \leq x \leq 48.6\ ft$ and the range is $0 \leq y \leq 8.3\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$y=-0.014x^{2} +0.68x$

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

The vertex represent a maximum

where

x is the ball's distance from the catapult in feet

y is the flight of the balls in feet

Part a) How far did the ball fly?

Find the x-intercepts or the roots of the quadratic equation

Remember that

The x-intercept is the value of x when the value of y is equal to zero

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

$ax^{2} +bx+c=0$

is equal to

$x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$-0.014x^{2} +0.68x=0$

$a=-0.014\\b=0.68\\c=0$

substitute in the formula

$x=\frac{-0.68(+/-)\sqrt{0.68^{2}-4(-0.014)(0)}} {2(-0.014)}$

$x=\frac{-0.68(+/-)0.68} {(-0.028)}$

$x=\frac{-0.68(+)0.68} {(-0.028)}=0$

$x=\frac{-0.68(-)0.68} {(-0.028)}=48.6\ ft$

therefore

The ball flew about 48.6 feet

Part b) How high above the ground did the ball fly?

Find the maximum (vertex)

$y=-0.014x^{2} +0.68x$

Find out the derivative and equate to zero

$0=-0.028x +0.68$

Solve for x

$0.028x=0.68$

$x=24.3$

<em>Alternative method</em>

To determine the x-coordinate of the vertex, find out the midpoint between the x-intercepts

$x=(0+48.6)/2=24.3\ ft$

To determine the y-coordinate of the vertex substitute the value of x in the quadratic equation and solve for y

$y=-0.014(24.3)^{2} +0.68(24.3)$

$y=8.3\ ft$

the vertex is the point (24.3,8.3)

therefore

The ball flew above the ground about 8.3 feet

Part c) What is a reasonable domain and range for this function?

we know that

A reasonable domain is the distance between the two x-intercepts

$0 \leq x \leq 48.6\ ft$

All real numbers greater than or equal to 0 feet and less than or equal to 48.6 feet

A reasonable range is all real numbers greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the y-coordinate of the vertex

we have the interval -----> [0,8.3]

$0 \leq y \leq 8.3\ ft$

All real numbers greater than or equal to 0 feet and less than or equal to 8.3 feet

Mario has 7 cups of milk. A one batch recipe for pancakes calls for 2/3 cup milk. To see how many batches he could make Mario fi

Inessa [10]

Mario's mistake is made when doing reciprocal.

7 / (2/3) =

I cannot divide by 2/3, but if I do reciprocal, I can multiply by 3/2. The seven comes first, so it should not be flipped.

Mario's mistake was when he flipped the 7 (or 7/1) to 1/7.

How do you solve (20.3×0.7)×7 with pemdas step by step

JulijaS [17]

TheProfessor35's answer is correct, but here's a step by step as you asked. PEMDAS stands from Parentheses Exponents Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction. So, in the problem, you first solve the part inside the parentheses. Are there exponents? No, so we move on. Anything need to be multiplied? Yes, 20.3 x 0.7. That gives us 14.21. Now, there is nothing left in the parentheses to be divided, added, or subtracted, so we move on to the outside. We multiply 14.21 by 7 and get 99.47.
