Answer:

A) 0.2 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

b(t)=-16t^2+5t+15

v(t)=-32t+5 <-- Take the derivative

0=-32t+5 <-- Set equal to 0

-5=-32t

\frac{5}{32}=t

t=\frac{5}{32}

t\approx0.2

Therefore, it will take the ball about 0.2 seconds to reach its maximum height (which happens to be about 15.4 feet BTW).

Alternatively, another non-calculus approach is the fact that the parabola opens downward, and as such, the maximum of b(t) occurs at the vertex where t=-\frac{b}{2a}, therefore t=-\frac{5}{2(-16)}=\frac{-5}{-32}=\frac{5}{32}\approx0.2

Answer:

0.2 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of b(t) = -16t^2 + 5t + 15 is a parabola opening downward.  The maximum value of b(t) occurs at the vertex.  The t-coordinate of the vertex is t = -5 / (2(-16)) = 5/32 = 0.15625 sec ≈ 0.2 sec.

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

(a) The probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult uses social media is 0.35.

(b) The probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is aged 18–29 is 0.22.

(c) The probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is 18–29 and a user of social media is 0.198.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

<em>X</em> = an US adult who does not uses social media.

<em>Y</em> = an US adult between the ages 18 and 29.

<em>Z</em> = an US adult between the ages 30 and above.

The information provided is:

P (X) = 0.35

P (Z) = 0.78

P (Y ∪ X') = 0.672

(a)

Compute the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult uses social media as follows:

P (US adult uses social media (<em>X'</em><em>)</em>) = 1 - P (US adult so not use social media)

                                                   =1-P(X)\\=1-0.35\\=0.65

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult uses social media is 0.35.

(b)

Compute the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is aged 18–29 as follows:

P (Adults between 18 - 29 (<em>Y</em>)) = 1 - P (Adults 30 or above)

                                            =1-P(Z)\\=1-0.78\\=0.22

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is aged 18–29 is 0.22.

(c)

Compute the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is 18–29 and a user of social media as follows:

P (Y ∩ X') = P (Y) + P (X') - P (Y ∪ X')

                =0.22+0.65-0.672\\=0.198

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is 18–29 and a user of social media is 0.198.

Find the value of x when 6 - 3x = 5x - 10x + 8.<br> The value of x is
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify

6 + -3x = 5x + -10x + 8

terms:

6 + -3x = 8 + 5x + -10x

Combining  like terms: 5x + -10x = -5x

6 + -3x = 8 + -5x

Solving

6 + -3x = 8 + -5x

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.  (Remember)

Add '5x' to each side of the equation.

6 + -3x + 5x = 8 + -5x + 5x

Combine the like terms -3x + 5x = 2x

6 + 2x = 8 + -5x + 5x

Combine the like terms again  -5x + 5x = 0

6 + 2x = 8 + 0

6 + 2x = 8

Then '-6' to each side of the equation.

6 + -6 + 2x = 8 + -6

Combine the like terms: 6 + -6 = 0

0 + 2x = 8 + -6

2x = 8 + -6

Combine the like terms: 8 + -6 = 2

2x = 2

Then divide each side by '2'.

x = 1

Simplifying

x = 1
