Answer:
Part A:
The vertex : x = - b / 2 a = - 28 : ( - 2 ) = 14
y = f ( 14 ) = - 14² + 28 · 14 - 192 = 196 + 392 - 192 = 4
The vertex is ( 14, 4 ). It means that the maximum hourly profit is $4, and that the shop should sell 14 sodas to reach the maximum.
Part B :
We will solve the quadratic equation:
x 1/2 = ( - 28 +/- sqrt ( 784 - 768 ) ) / ( - 2 )
x 1 = 12, x 2 = 16.
It means that if the shop must sell more than 12 and less then 16 sodas if they want to make a profit ( 13, 14, or 15 ). If they sell 12, or 16 they will brake even.
I think
The vertex of the given function is option(C) (14,4) The vertex represents the maximum profit

The circumference of a circular field is 285.74 yards. What is the diameter of the field? Use 3.14 for it and do not round your answer.
yards
x
?
Answer:
The diameter is 91.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for circumference is 2*pi*radius(you can use circumference = diameter*pi too). Plug 285.74 into it. Divide both sides by 3.14, and you get 2*radius(aka the diameter) = 91
Answer:
91 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
The circumference of a circle can be found using the following formula:
c=π * d
We know that the circumference is 285.74 yards and we are using 3.14 for pi. Substitute 285.74 in for c and 3.14 for pi.
285.74= 3.14 *d
We want to find the diameter. Therefore, we need to get the variable d by itself. d is being multiplied by 3.14 The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides of the equation by 3.14
285.74/3.14= 3.14*d/3.14
285.74/3.14=d
Divide
91=d
d= 91 yards
The diameter of the field is 91 yards.

A prism has a volume of 405 cubic inches. A prism has a length of 15 inches, height of h, and width of 4.5 inches. Which is the correct substitution for finding the height of the prism? V = l w h. 405 = 15 + 4.5 + h. V = l w h = 15 times 4.5 times 405 V = l w h = 15 times 4.5 times 15 V = l w h. 405 = 15 times 4.5 times h
Answer:
d) 405 = 15 times 4.5 times h
The height of the prism 'h' = 6 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Explanation:-
Given Volume of prism
V = 405 cubic inches
Given length of the prism
L = 15 inches
Given width of the prism
W = 4.5 inches
The volume of the prism
V = l w h
405 = 15 ×4.5× h
405 = 67.5 h
Dividing '67.5' on both sides , we get
h = 6 inches
Final answer:-
The height of the prism 'h' = 6 inches
Answer: V = l w h. 405 = 15 times 4.5 times h
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Volume of prism = 405 in^3
Length = 15 inches
Height = h
Width = 4.5 inches
Recall :
The volume of a prism is the product of the Base and the height.
That is;
Volume = Base × height
However, Base of prism is given by the area of the base shape of the prism.
From our parameters Base shape of the prism is a rectangle.
Therefore, Area of rectangle = Length × width
= 15 inches × 4.5 inches = 67.5 inch^2 = Base of prism
Therefore, Volume of prism equals ;
Volume = 15 × 4.5 × h
Volume = 405in^3
Volume = Base × height
405 = 15 × 4.5 × h

Question:
There are only r red counters and g green counters in a bag. A counter is taken at random from the bag. The probability that the counter is green is 3/7 The counter is put back in the bag. 2 more red counters and 3 more green counters are put in the bag. A counter is taken at random from the bag. The probability that the counter is green is 6/13
Find the number of red counters and the number of green counters that were in the bag originally.
Answer:
Total number of green counters = 9
Total number of red counters = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that probability is given by
P = number of desired events/total number of events
The probability that the counter is green is 3/7
P(green) = 3/7 = 3x/7x
Where 3x is the number of green counters
7x is the total number of counters
So then red counters are
red counters = 7x - 3x = 4x
4x is the number of red counters
P(green) = 3/7 = 3x/3x + 4x
The counter is put back in the bag. 2 more red counters and 3 more green counters are put in the bag. The probability that the counter is green is 6/13
So after addition of 3 green and 2 red new counters,
P(green) = 6/13 = (3x + 3)/(3x + 4x + 3 + 2)
Now solve for x
6/13 = (3x + 3)/(3x + 4x + 3 + 2)
6/13 = (3x + 3)/(7x + 5)
6(7x + 5) = 13(3x + 3)
42x + 30 = 39x + 39
42x - 39x = 39 - 30
3x = 9
x = 9/3
x = 3
So total number of green counters are
green counters = 3x = 3*3 = 9
So total number of red counters are
red counters = 4x = 4*3 = 12

If a toy rocket is launched vertically upward from ground level with an initial velocity of 120 feet per second, then its height h after t seconds is given by the equation h(t) = -16t^2 + 120t. How long will it take the rocket to return to the ground? Group of answer choices
Answer:
[tex]Time = 7.5\ seconds[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Equation:\ h(t) = -16t^2 + 120t[/tex]
[tex]Initial\ Velocity = 160ft/s[/tex]
Required:
Determine the time taken to return to the ground
From the equation given; height (h) is a function of time (t)
When the rocket returns to the ground level, h(t) = 0
Substitute 0 for h(t) in the given equation
[tex]h(t) = -16t^2 + 120t[/tex]
becomes
[tex]0 = -16t^2 + 120t[/tex]
Solve for t in the above equation
[tex]-16t^2 + 120t = 0[/tex]
Factorize the above expression
[tex]-4t(4t - 30) = 0[/tex]
Split the expression to 2
[tex]-4t = 0\ or\ 4t - 30 = 0[/tex]
Solving the first expression
[tex]-4t = 0[/tex]
Divide both sides by -4
[tex]\frac{-4t}{-4} = \frac{0}{-4}[/tex]
[tex]t = \frac{0}{-4}[/tex]
[tex]t =0[/tex]
Solving the second expression
[tex]4t - 30 = 0[/tex]
Add 30 to both sides
[tex]4t - 30+30 = 0+30[/tex]
[tex]4t = 30[/tex]
Divide both sides by 4
[tex]\frac{4t}{4} = \frac{30}{4}[/tex]
[tex]t = \frac{30}{4}[/tex]
[tex]t = 7.5[/tex]
Hence, the values of t are:
[tex]t =0[/tex] and [tex]t = 7.5[/tex]
[tex]t =0[/tex] shows the time before the launching the rocket
while
[tex]t = 7.5[/tex] shows the time after the rocket returns to the floor
The number 5600 is first decreased by 15 % . The value obtained is next increased by 10 % . Find the final number.
Answer:
5236
Step-by-step explanation:
the original number is equal to 100%
Therefore 5600=100% how about 85 %(which is what is left after decreasing 15%)
85×5600÷100=4760
the new original is(100%)=4760
4760=100% how about 110%(which is what you'll have after adding 10%)
4760×110÷100=5236

Answer:
20°.
Step-by-step explanation:
According to both the diagram and the presented angle measure, m∠RPS + m∠QPR = m∠QPS.
(4x + 27) + (9x - 115) = 107
4x + 9x + 27 - 115 = 107
13x - 88 = 107
13x = 195
x = 15
Now that we have the value of x, we can find the m∠QPR.
9x - 115
= 9 * 15 - 115
= 135 - 115
= 20
So, m∠QPR is 20°.

200 students attend a school which offers French and History. 10% of those who take History also take French and 4 times as many students take History as take French. 8% of the students take neither History or French. By drawing a Venn Diagram find the probabilty that a student picked at random does History and French. Give your answer as a percentage.
Answer:
8%
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello,
8% of the students take neither History or French
so we have 8*200/100=8*2=16 students out of French and History
let s say that
a is the number of students taking only History
b is the number of students taking both History and French
c is the number of students taking only French
10% of those who take History also take French
so 0.10(a+b)=b <=> 0.10a+0.10b=b
<=> 0.10a+0.10b-0.10b=b-0.10b=0.9b
<=> 0.10a=0.90b
let's multiply by 10 it comes a = 9b
4 times as many students take History as take French
so a + b = 4 (b + c)
it comes 9b + b = 10b = 4b + 4c
<=> 10b-4b=4b+4c-4b=4c
<=> 6b=4c
<=> 3b=2c
<=> c = 3b/2
and we know that a + b + c = 200 - 16 = 184
so
9b + b + 3b/2 = 184 we can multiply by 2 it comes
20 b + 3b = 184*2
23b = 184*2 = 23 * 8 *2 = 23*16
b = 23*16/23 = 16
so b = 16
c = 3*16/2 = 24
c = 24
a = 9b = 144
a = 144
you can see the Venn diagram below
and then the probability that a student picked at random does History and French is 16/200 = 8%
so the answer is 8%

PLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAASSSSSSSE HEEEEEEEEELP As soon as a new car that costs $25,000 is driven off the lot, it begins to depreciate at a rate of 24.9% annually. About how much money is the car worth after the second year?
Answer:
The value of the car after two years is $14,100.025
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to calculate the value of a car after its second year, given the depreciation percentage.
To get the value of the car year after year at the fixed percentage level, what we do is to set up an exponential equation;
V = I(1-r)^t
where V is the present value
I is the initial value = $25,000
r is the rate = 24.9% = 24.9/100 = 0.249
t is the number of years = 2 in this case
So we substitute these values in the depreciation case and have;
V = 25000(1-0.249)^2
V = 25000(0.751)^2
V = $14,100.025

If a football player passes a football from 4 feet off the ground with an initial velocity of 36 feet per second, how long will it take the football to hit the ground? Use the equation h = −16t2 + 6t + 4. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
Answer:
0.723 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let h = 0
0 = -16t² + 6t + 4
Let’s solve by completing the square.
Subtract 4 from both sides.
-4 = -16t² + 6t
Since the coefficient of -16t² is -16, divide both sides by -16.
1/4 = t² - 3/8t
The coefficient of (-3)/8t is (-3)/8. Let b=(-3)/8.
Then we need to add (b/2)² = 9/256 to both sides to complete the square.
Add 9/256 to both sides.
73/256 = t² - 3/8t + 9/256
Factor right side.
73/255 = (t-3/16)²
Take the square root on both sides.
±√(73/255) = t-3/16
Add 3/16 to both sides.
3/16 ± √(73/255) = t
The answer has to be positive, not negative.
0.72254626884 = t
0.723 ≈ t

A box contains 2 dozen pairs of contact lenses ,of which 8 pairs are tinted. A pair of contact lenses is drawn at random from the box.Find the probability that it is not tinted.What is the answer:2/3 2/5
Answer:
[tex]\dfrac{2}{3}.[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that a box contains 2 dozen pairs of contact lenses ,of which 8 pairs are tinted.
1 dozen = 12 units
Total pairs of contact lenses [tex]=2\times 12 = 24[/tex]
Tinted pairs of contact lenses = 8
Pairs of contact lenses not tinted = 24 - 8 = 16
If a pair of contact lenses is drawn at random from the box, then we need to find the probability that it is not tinted.
[tex]P(\text{Not tinted})=\dfrac{\text{Pairs of contact lenses not tinted}}{\text{Total pairs of contact lenses}}[/tex]
[tex]P(\text{Not tinted})=\dfrac{16}{24}[/tex]
[tex]P(\text{Not tinted})=\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex]
Therefore, the required probability is [tex]\dfrac{2}{3}.[/tex]
A item in a shop is increased in price by 20% and then decreased in price by 20% a month later.
Is there an overall increase or
decrease in price and by how
much?
please give the method too
Answer:
Decrease of 4% ($4).
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose the initial price was $100. An increase of 20% will make the price $120.
Now we decrease it 20% which brings it to 120 - 0.20 * 120
= 120 - 24
= $96.
So that's an overall decrease of $4 or 4%.

Answer:
51 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
→ The first thing we need is a formula which links speed, distance and time so,
Speed = Distance ÷ Time
Speed = mph
Distance = metres/miles
Time = hours
→ Since we want to work out the average speed of the entire journey we need to first work out the total distance and total time. Using the first sentence of the paragraph, it says that the car travels at an average speed of 45 mph for 40 minutes, we can rearrange the formula to work out the distance so,
Speed = Distance ÷ Time
→ Rearrange to get distance as subject
Distance = Speed × Time
→ Substitute in the values
Distance = 45 × 40
→ Remember that the time is hours but we substituted in minutes so we divide the time value by 60
40 ÷ 60 = 0.666666667
→ Substitute in the time value multiplied by the speed
Distance = 45 × 0.666666667 = 30
⇒ 30 metres/miles is overall distance for the first part of the journey
→ Now we have to work out the distance for the second part of the journey. State the distance formula.
Distance = Speed × Time
→ Substitute in the values into the distance formula
Distance = 60 × 25
→ Remember that the time is hours but we substituted in minutes so we divide the time value by 60
25 ÷ 60 = 0.416666667
→ Substitute in the time value multiplied by the speed
Distance = 60 × 0.416666667 = 25
⇒ 25 metres/miles is overall distance for the second part of the journey
→ Now we have to add the distance of both the journeys together
25 + 30 = 55
→ Then we add the times of the journey together
40 minutes + 25 minutes = 65 minutes
→ Convert 65 minutes into hours
65 ÷ 60 = 1.08333 hours
→ Substitute both values into the speed = distance ÷ time formula
Speed = 55 ÷ 1.08333 = 50.76923077
→ The question says to round it to the nearest whole number so,
50.76923077 = 51 mph
A delivery company estimates that it will take 4 minutes for their drone to fly 7 km how long will it take the drone to fly 21 km
Answer: 12 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
7 km ........ 4 minutes
21 km ...... ?
21/7 x 4= 12 minutes
Answer: 12 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is easy to put the numbers into a ratio form to work it out. So-
4 minutes for 7 km = 4 : 7
Then ? minutes for 21 km = ? : 21
You first divide the given value by the original value of that it is proportioned to (the number on the same side of the original ratio as 21). In this case divide 21 by 7 = 3. You now have to times the answer you got by the other original value which will be 4 x 3 = 12.
Therefore your answer is 12 minutes.

The graph of the parent function f(x) = x3 is translated to form the graph of g(x) = (x − 4)3 − 7. The point (0, 0) on the graph of f(x) corresponds to which point on the graph of g(x)?
Answer:
The point (0, 0) in the graph of f(x) corresponds to the point (4, -7) in the graph of g(x)
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that when we start with the function [tex]f(x)=x^3[/tex], and then transform it into the function: [tex]g(x)=(x-4)^3-7[/tex]
what we have done is to translate the graph of the function horizontally 4 units to the right (via subtracting 4 from the variable x), and 7 units vertically down (via subtracting 7 to the full functional expression).
Therefore, the point (0, 0) in the first function, will now appeared translated 4 units to the right (from x = 0 to x = 4) and 7 units down (from y = 0 to y = -7).
then the point (0, 0) after the translation becomes: (4, -7)

Write the expression in standard form. -3 + yi = x + 6i
Answer:
The expression in standard form is -3 + 6i
Step-by-step explanation:
Writing complex equation in standard form we have;
-3 + yi = x + 6i
We transfer the real and imaginary parts to be on different sides of the equation as follows;
yi - 6i = x + 3
We factorize the imaginary part;
i(y-6) = x + 3
We note that the real portion on the left hand side of the equation is zero, therefore, we have;
i(y-6) + 0= x + 3
x + 3 = 0
Therefore, x = -3
Substituting the value of x in the first equation, we have;
-3 + yi = -3 + 6i
Comparing gives;
y = 6
The expression in standard form is -3 + 6i.
Solve for x. − 6 ≥ 10 − 8x.
Answer:
2</x or x>/2
Step-by-step explanation:
-6>/10-8x
-10 -10
-16>/-8x
divide both sides by -8
2</x or x>/2
the reason the sign is bc u r dividing by a - number.
Answer:
x ≥ 2
Step-by-step explanation:
-6 ≥ 10 - 8x
Subtract 10 on both parts.
-6 - 10 ≥ 10 - 8x - 10
-16 ≥ -8x
Divide both parts by -8 remembering to reverse sign.
-16/-8 ≤ (-8x)/-8
2 ≤ x
Switch parts.
x ≥ 2
What are two integers whose sum is -2 and product is -80?
Answer:
We can write:
x + y = -2
xy = -80
We can rewrite the first equation as x = -y - 2 and then plug that into the second equation to get (-y-2) * y = -80 → -y² - 2y = -80 → y² + 2y - 80 = 0 → (y - 8)(y + 10) = 0 → y = 8, -10. Substituting these values into the first equation we get x = -10, 8 so the answer is (x₁, y₁) = (-10, 8) or (x₂, y₂) = (8, -10).
