Answer:

$34

Step-by-step explanation:

50% is half of 100%

(Because 50% x 2 = 100%)

Thus, half the money ($68) to find 50%.

So, 68÷2 = 34

Final answer is $34

Or

50/100 x $68 =$34

Hope this helps!

Doug hits a baseball straight towards a 15 ft high fence that is 400 ft from home plate. The ball is hit 2.5ft above the ground

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

$125.4\ \text{m/s}$

Step-by-step explanation:

u = Initial velocity of baseball

$\theta$ = Angle of hit = $30^{\circ}$

x = Displacement in x direction = 400 ft

y = Displacement in y direction = 15 ft

$y_0$ = Height of hit = 2.5 ft

$a_y$ = g = Acceleration due to gravity = $32.2\ \text{ft/s}^2$

t = Time taken

Displacement in x direction

$x=u_xt\\\Rightarrow x=u\cos\theta t\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{x}{u\cos\theta}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{400}{u\cos30^{\circ}}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{400}{u\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{800}{u\sqrt{3}}$

Displacement in y direction

$y=y_0+u_yt+\dfrac{1}{2}a_yt^2\\\Rightarrow y=y_0+u\sin\theta t+\dfrac{1}{2}a_yt^2\\\Rightarrow 15=2.5+u\sin30^{\circ}(\dfrac{800}{u\sqrt{3}})+\dfrac{1}{2}\times -32.2\times (\dfrac{800}{u\sqrt{3}})^2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{400}{\sqrt{3}}-\dfrac{10304000}{3u^2}-12.5=0\\\Rightarrow 218.44=\dfrac{10304000}{3u^2}\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{\dfrac{10304000}{3\times218.44}}\\\Rightarrow u=125.4\ \text{m/s}$

The minimum initial velocity needed for the ball to clear the fence is $125.4\ \text{m/s}$

Find the value of the variable y, where the sum of the fractions 6/(y+1) and y/(y-2) is equal to their product.

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

The answer is

$y = 3$

$y = - 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

We must find a solution where

$\frac{6}{y + 1} + \frac{y}{y - 2} = \frac{6}{y + 1} \times \frac{y}{y - 2}$

Consider the Left Side:

First, to add fraction multiply each fraction on the left by it corresponding denomiator and we should get

$\frac{6}{y + 1} \times \frac{y - 2}{y - 2} + \frac{y}{y - 2} \times \frac{y + 1}{y + 1}$

Which equals

$\frac{6y - 12}{(y -2) (y + 1)} + \frac{ {y}^{2} + y }{(y - 2)(y + 1)}$

Add the fractions

$\frac{y {}^{2} + 7y - 12 }{(y - 2)(y + 1)} = \frac{6}{y + 1} \times \frac{y}{y - 2}$

Simplify the right side by multiplying the fraction

$\frac{6y}{(y + 1)(y + 2)}$

Set both fractions equal to each other

$\frac{6y}{(y + 1)(y - 2)} = \frac{ {y}^{2} + 7y - 12}{(y + 1)(y - 2)}$

Since the denomiator are equal, we must set the numerator equal to each other

$6y = {y}^{2} + 7y - 12$

$= {y}^{2} + y - 12$

$(y + 4)(y - 3)$

$y = - 4$

$y = 3$

F(x)=2x+1/x-1 then f^-1(1)

olasank [31]

Answer:

f⁻¹(x) = (x + 1) / (x - 2)
f⁻¹(1 ) = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given function:</u>

f(x) = (2x + 1) / (x - 1)

<u>Find its inverse, substitute x with y and f(x) with x, solve for y:</u>

x = (2y + 1) / (y - 1)
x(y - 1) = 2y + 1
xy - x = 2y + 1
xy - 2y = x + 1
y(x - 2) = x + 1
y = (x + 1) / (x - 2)

<u>Substitute y with f⁻¹(x):</u>

f⁻¹(x) = (x + 1) / (x - 2)

<u>Find f⁻¹(1 ):</u>

f⁻¹(1 ) = ( 1 + 1) / (1 - 2) = 2 / - 1 = - 2
