Answer:

Therefore the latitude closest to the equator is 6.49°(approx).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the path of a solar ellipse is modeled by

$f(t)=0.00223t^2-0.558t+41.395$

where f(t) is the latitude in degrees south of the equator at t minutes.

We know that ,

The minimum or maximum value of a function y(t) =at²+bt+c

is when $t=-\frac{b}{2a}$

In this case a= 0.00223, b= - 0.558 and c= 41.395.

The minimum value of f(t)

when $t=-\frac{( - 0.558)}{2\times 0.00223}$

=125.11

Therefore the latitude closest to the equator is

f(125.11)=0.00223(125.11)²-0.558×125.11+41.395

≈6.49

Answer:

3456

Step-by-step explanation:

Ten times the dimensions is:

4.8 * 10 in by 7.2 * 10 in = 48 by 72 inches

The area is the product of the two numbers:

48*72 = 3456 inches squared

A hospital bill is estimated to be $462.00. It ends up actually costing the patient $525.00. What is the percent error in the bi

Mamont248 [21]

In order to find the percent error, we need to first find the difference between what was expected and what is actually costed. We do this by subtracting:

$525-462=63$

So now we know that the expected amount was off by $63. To find the percent error, we need to take this $63, and divide it by the amount that was estimated. Let's do that now:

$\frac{63}{462}=0.1364$

However this is in decimal form. We need to multiply by 100 in order to get it in a percent:

$0.1364*100=13.64%$

Now we know that the percent error of the hospital bill estimate is 13.64%.

Complete the steps for solving 7 = –2x2 + 10x. Factor out of the variable terms. inside the parentheses and on the left side of

Mamont248 [21]

we have

$7=-2x^{2} +10x$

Factor the leading coefficient

$7=-2(x^{2} -5x)$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

$7-12.50=-2(x^{2} -5x+2.5^{2})$

$-5.50=-2(x^{2} -5x+2.5^{2})$

Divide both sides by $-2$

$2.75=(x^{2} -5x+2.5^{2})$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$2.75=(x-2.5)^{2}$

Taking the square roots of both sides (square root property of equality)

$x-2.5=(+/-)\sqrt{2.75}$

Remember that

$\sqrt{2.75}=\sqrt{\frac{11}{4}}= \frac{\sqrt{11}}{2}$

$x-2.5=(+/-)\frac{\sqrt{11}}{2}$

$x=2.5(+/-)\frac{\sqrt{11}}{2}$

$x=2.5+\frac{\sqrt{11}}{2}=\frac{5+\sqrt{11}}{2}$

$x=2.5-\frac{\sqrt{11}}{2}=\frac{5-\sqrt{11}}{2}$

<u>the answer is</u>

The solutions are

$x=\frac{5+\sqrt{11}}{2}$

$x=\frac{5-\sqrt{11}}{2}$

What is the simplified form of StartRoot StartFraction 72 x Superscript 16 Baseline Over 50 x Superscript 36 Baseline EndFractio

aalyn [17]

Answer:

StartFraction 6 Over 5 x Superscript 10 Baseline EndFraction

Step-by-step explanation:

Apparently you want to simplify ...

$\sqrt{\dfrac{72x^{16}}{50x^{36}}}$

The applicable rules of exponents are ...

(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

1/a^b = a^-b

(a^b)^c = a^(bc)

__

So the expression simplifies as ...

$\sqrt{\dfrac{72x^{16}}{50x^{36}}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{36}{25x^{36-16}}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{36}{25x^{20}}}\\\\\sqrt{\left(\dfrac{6}{5x^{10}}\right)^2}=\boxed{\dfrac{6}{5x^{10}}}$
