According to the temperature changes, it is found that:

On Tuesday, the temperature at Noon was of -28.5 ºF.

On Wednesday, the temperature at Midnight was of -5.5 ºF.

On Thursday, the change was of -11.8 ºF.

On Friday, the temperature at Noon was of -4.5 ºF.

<h3>What is the temperature change?</h3>

The temperature change during a period is given by the temperature at the end of the period subtracted by the temperature at the start of the period.

On Tuesday:

At the start of the period, the temperature was of -17.5 ºF.

The change was of -11 ºF.

Hence:

$-11 = T_N - T_M$

$-11 = T_N + 17.5$

$T_N = -28.5$

On Tuesday, the temperature at Noon was of -28.5 ºF.

On Wednesday:

At the end of the period, the temperature was of 10 ºF.

The change was of 15.5 ºF.

Hence:

$15.5 = 10 - T_M$

$T_M = -5.5$

On Wednesday, the temperature at Midnight was of -5.5 ºF.

On Thursday:

At the end of the period, the temperature was of -24 ºF.

At the start of the period, the temperature was of -12.2 ºF.

Hence:

$C = -24 - (-12.2) = -24 + 12.2 = -11.8$

On Thursday, the change was of -11.8 ºF.

On Friday:

At the start of the period, the temperature was of -21.8 ºF.

The change was of 17.3 ºF.

Hence:

$17.3 = T_N - T_M$

$17.3 = T_N + 21.8$

$T_M = -4.5$

On Friday, the temperature at Noon was of -4.5 ºF.

A loan of $50,000 is taken out for six years at 9% interest compounded annually. If the loan is paid off in full at the end of that time period, $50433 must be returned.

<h3>What is Compound interest?</h3>

Compound interest is calculated by multiplying the initial loan amount, or principal, by one plus the annual interest rate multiplied by the number of compound periods multiplied by one.

Compound interest is when you earn interest on both your savings and your interest earnings. When you compound interest, you add the interest you've earned back into your principal balance, which earns you even more interest, compounding your returns.

Assume you have $1,000 in a savings account earning 5% interest per year. You'd earn $50 in year one, giving you a new balance of $1,050. Compound interest occurs when interest earned on savings begins to earn interest on itself.

20% of what number is 80? I need the right answer, this is my last shot of passing.

LekaFEV [45]

100%/x%=80/20 (100/x)*x=(80/20)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x 100=4*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (4) to get x 100/4=x 25=x x=25

-1 1/2 + (-1 1/2 i need help

-3
When there are two negative be added your answer will always be negative. In this case add the ones(2) and then add the 1/2s(1) and then add the two. For this you’ll get 3 but just add the negative sign.

The height y of a ball (in feet) is given by the function and x is the horizontal distance traveled by the ball.

bazaltina [42]

Given: The height y of a ball (in feet) is given by the function y=-1/12x^2+2x+4 and x is the horizontal distance traveled by the ball.

Part A: How high is the ball when it leaves the child's hand?

Right after the ball leaves the child's hand, it has travelled 0 feet horizontally. Horizontal distance is represented by x, so we could say that x = 0.
Plug in 0 for our equation and solve for y, the height.

$y=-\frac{1}{12}x^2+2x+4\\\\y=\frac{1}{12}\cdot0^2+2\cdot0+4\\\\y=0+0+4\\\\\boxed{y=4}$

Part B & C: How high is the ball at its maximum height?

What we basically want to do is find the vertex of the function.
There are multiple ways to do this. You could graph it or make a table, but this method is not efficient.
The method I am going to go over right now is putting the equation in vertex form.

$y=-\frac{1}{12}x^2+2x+4$

Move the constant to the left side.

$y-4=-\frac{1}{12}x^2+2x$

Factor out the x² coefficient.

$y-4=-\frac{1}{12}(x^2-24x)$

Find out which number to add to create a perfect square trinomial.
(Half of 24 is 12, 12 squared is 144. We have to add 144/-12 (which is -12) to each side so that we end up with 144 inside the parentheses on the right side)

$y-4-12=-\frac{1}{12}(x^2-24x+144)$

Factor the perfect square trinomial and simplify the right side.

$y-16=-\frac{1}{12}(x-12)^2$

Isolate y on the left side.

$y=-\frac{1}{12}(x+12)^2+16$

And now we are in vertex form.
Vertex form is defined as y = a(x-h)² + k with vertex (h, k).
In this case, our vertex is (12, 16).

You could've also taken the shortcut that for any quadratic f(x) = ax² + bx + c, the vertex (h, k) is (-b/2a, f(h)). That's basically a summation of this method which you can use if your teacher has taught it to you.

Part D & E: What is the horizontal distance travelled by the ball when it hits the ground?
When the ball hits the ground, y is going to be 0, since y is the ball's height.
There are many ways to solve a quadratic...split the middle, complete the square, and the quadratic formula.

$-\frac{1}{12}x^2+2x+4=0$

Solving by splitting the midlde
If your quadratic has fractions, this is not a good option.

Solving by completing the square
Move the constant over the right side.

$y=-\frac{1}{12}x^2+2x=-4$

Divide by the x² coefficient.
(Dividing by -1/12 is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal, -12.)

$x^2-24x=-4\times-12$

Simplify the right side.

$x^2-24x=48$

Halve the x coefficient, square it, and then add it to each side.
(Half of -24 is -12, and -12 squared is 144.)

$x^2-24x+144=192$

Factor the perfect square trinomial.

$(x-12)^2=192$

Take the square root of each side.

$x-12=\pm\sqrt{192}$

192 = 8 × 8 × 3, so we can simplify √192 to 8√3.
Add 12 to each side and we get our answer.

$x=12\pm8\sqrt{3}$

Our function does not apply when x or y is less than 0, of course.
12-8√3 is negative, so this cannot be our answer.
So, the ball had travelled 12+8√3 feet at the time when it hit the ground.

Solving with the quadratic formula
For any equation ax² + bx + c = 0, the solution for x is $\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ .

Our equation, y=-1/12x^2+2x+4, has a = -1/12, b=2, and c=4.
Let's plug these values into the quadratic formula.

$\frac{-2\pm\sqrt{2^2-4\cdot\frac{-1}{12}\cdot4}}{2\cdot\frac{-1}{12}}=\frac{-2\pm\sqrt{4-\frac{-4}3}}{\frac{-1}6}=\frac{-2\pm\sqrt{\frac{16}{3}}}{\frac{-1}6}=\frac{-2\pm\frac{4}{\sqrt{3}}}{\frac{-1}6}$

Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal...

$-6(-2\pm\frac{4}{\sqrt{3}})=12\pm\frac{-24}{\sqrt{3}}=12\pm\frac{24}{\sqrt{3}}=12\pm\frac{24\sqrt{3}}3=\boxed{12\pm8\sqrt{3}}$

Of course, we only want the positive value, 12+8√3.

Revisiting Part B & C:
Since parabolae are symmetrical, if you know two values of x for some value of y (like the x-intercepts we just found in part B) then you can find the average between them to find what the x value of the vertex is, then plug that in to find the y value of the vertex (the height we want)

The average between 12+8√3 and 12-8√3 is 12. Plug that in and we get 16!
