Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Milo's age = x

$Paul's \ age =\dfrac{1}{2}x+7\\\\\\Bill's \ age = \dfrac{1}{2}x + 7 +15 =\dfrac{1}{2}x+22$

Sum of all three ages = 85

$x +\dfrac{1}{2}x+7 +\dfrac{1}{2}x+22 = 85\\x +\dfrac{1}{2}x+\dfrac{1}{2}x+7+22 =85\\2x+29=85\\ 2x = 85-29\\\\ 2x = 56\\\\ x = \dfrac{56}{2}\\\\x =28 \ years\\\\\\Bill's \ age =\dfrac{1}{2}x+22 =\dfrac{1}{2}*28+22\\\\\\= 14+22\\$

Bill's age = 36 years

Answer:

Bill is 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Bill, Paul, and Milo are represented as b, p, m

b = 15+p; p = 1/2m + 7; b + p + m = 85

b = 36, m = 28, p = 21

Therefore Bill is 36 y/o

A ball dropped from the top of a building can be modeled by the function f(t)=-16^2+36, where t represents time in seconds

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

The ball is dropped from a height of 36 feet

The bee and the ball will collide after approximately 1.3 seconds

The bee and the ball will collide at approximately 8 feet above the ground

The ball hits the ground after 1.5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

A ball dropped from the top of the building can be modeled by the function f(t)=-16t^2 + 36 , where t represents time in seconds after the ball was dropped. A bee's flight can be modeled by the function, g(t)=3t+4, where t represents time in seconds after the bee starts the flight.

The graph represents the situation.

select all that apply

1) The bee launches into flight from the ground.

2) The ball is dropped from a height of 36 feet.

3) The bee and the ball will collide after approximately 1.3 seconds.

4) The bee and the ball will collide after approximately 8 seconds.

5) The bee and the ball will collide at approximately 8 feet above the ground.

6) The bee and the ball will not collide.

7) The ball hits the ground after 1.5 seconds

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Verify all the options

case 1) The bee launches into flight from the ground.

The statement is false

Because

we have

$g(t)=3t+4$

For t=0

$g(t)=3(0)+4=4\ ft$

That means ----> The bee launches into flight from a height 4 feet above the ground

case 2) The ball is dropped from a height of 36 feet

The statement is true

Because

For t=0

$f(t)=-16(0)^2+36=36\ ft$

case 3) The bee and the ball will collide after approximately 1.3 seconds

The statement is true

Because

Equate f(t) and g(t)

$-16t^2+36=3t+4$

$-16t^2-3t+32=0$

solve the quadratic equation by graphing

The solution is t=1.324 sec

see the attached figure N 2

case 4) The bee and the ball will collide after approximately 8 seconds

The statement is false

Because, the bee and the ball will collide after approximately 1.3 seconds (see case 3)

case 5) The bee and the ball will collide at approximately 8 feet above the ground

The statement is true

Because

For t=1.324 sec

substitute the value of t in f(t) or g(t)

$g(t)=3(1.324)+4=7.97\ ft$

case 6) The bee and the ball will not collide

The statement is false

see case 3) and case 5)

case 7) The ball hits the ground after 1.5 seconds

The statement is true

Because

we know that

The ball hit the ground when the value of f(t) is equal to zero

For f(t)=0

$-16t^2+36=0$

$t^2=\frac{36}{16}$

$t=\frac{6}{4}=1.5\ sec$

5/6v+10=5 what is the answer

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

x= -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

You would multiply both sides by 6x+10 and then that would give you 5-5)6x+10) and you would divide both sides by 5. This would give you 1=6x+10, you would then try to isolate the 6x giving you -6x=10-1 or -6x=9 and you would see if the solutions are in the defined ranges so x=-5/3 is NOT in the defined range but x=-3/2 is.

The graph of the function f(x)=-(x+6)(x+2) is shown below. What statement about the function is true ?

arlik [135]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

in x<-4 the derivative is positive so the function is increasing.

in x>-4 the derivative is negative so the function is decreasing

increasing in (-infinity,-4)

decreasing in (-4,infinity)
