Answer:
y = -1/2x - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -1/2x - 8
I find that turning the fractions into decimals helps in this situation.
9/16 = 0.5625
8/15 = 0.5333
so 9/16 is greater then 8/15
Answer:
Refer to the following information on full-term births in the United States over a given period of time.
Type of Birth Number of Births
Single birth 47,200,000
Twins 600,000
Triplets 3000
Quadruplets 200
Use this information to estimate the probabilities of the following events.
(a) A randomly selected pregnant woman who reaches full term delivers twins. (Give the answer to three significant figures.)
(b) A randomly selected pregnant woman who reaches full term delivers quadruplets. (Give the answer to three significant figures.)
(c) A randomly selected pregnant woman who reaches full term gives birth to more than a single child. (Give the answer to three significant figures
A)
The formula for the distance in a given time, is x = vt - 0.5gt^2
where x is the distance
v is the initial velocity, given as 64 ft/s
g is the acceleration due to gravity which is equal to 32 ft/s^2
t is the time
Now you have:
x = 64t - 0.5(32)t^2
Simplify:
x = 64t -16t^2
Rearrange this so the exponent is first:
h(t) = -16t^2 +64t
B) See attached picture:
C) Maximum height was 64 feet. It reached maximum height in 2 seconds and total time in the air was 4 seconds.
