Answer:

<h2>14mph</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the gas mileage for a certain vehicle modeled by the equation m=−0.05x²+3.5x−49 where x is the speed of the vehicle in mph. In order to determine the speed(s) at which the car gets 9 mpg, we will substitute the value of m = 9 into the modeled equation and calculate x as shown;

m = −0.05x²+3.5x−49

when m= 9

9 = −0.05x²+3.5x−49

−0.05x²+3.5x−49 = 9

0.05x²-3.5x+49 = -9

Multiplying through by 100

5x²+350x−4900 = 900

Dividing through by 5;

x²+70x−980 = 180

x²+70x−980 - 180 = 0

x²+70x−1160 = 0

Using the general formula to get x;

a = 1, b = 70, c = -1160

x = -70±√70²-4(1)(-1160)/2

x = -70±√4900+4640)/2

x = -70±(√4900+4640)/2

x = -70±√9540/2

x =  -70±97.7/2

x = -70+97.7/2

x = 27.7/2

x = 13.85mph

x ≈ 14 mph

Hence, the speed(s) at which the car gets 9 mpg to the nearest mph is 14mph

Answer:

The revenue for Granton location is 175 thousand dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Cedarton 121

Rimber 189

Linton 147

Mean = 158

Required

Revenue for Granton location.

To calculate the revenue for Granton location, we make use of mean formula.

Mean is calculated by Summation of Observation divided by number of observations.

Since Granton location is unknown; Let it be represented by letter G.

So, the summation of observation becomes 121 + 189 + 147 + G

Summation = 457 + G

The number of observations = 4

Recall that Mean = Summation ÷ Number

By substituting 158 for mean, 457 + G for summation and 4 for number, we have

158 = (457 + G) ÷ 4

158 = ¼(457 + G)

Multiply both sides by 4

4 * 158 = = 4 * ¼(457 + G)

632 = 457 + G

Make G the subject of formula

G = 632 - 457

G = 175

Hence, the revenue for Granton location is 175 thousand dollars

An astronaut on the moon throws a baseball upward. the astronaut is 6​ ft, 6 in.​ tall, and the initial velocity of the ball is
marta [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The position function is

s(t)=-2.7t^2+50t+6.5 and if we are looking for the time(s) that the ball is 10 feet above the surface of the moon, we sub in a 10 for s(t) and solve for t:

10=-2.7t^2+50t+6.5 and

0=-2.7t^2+50t-3.5 and factor that however you are currently factoring quadratics in class to get

t = .07 sec and t = 18.45 sec

There are 2 times that the ball passes 10 feet above the surface of the moon, once going up (.07 sec) and then again coming down (18.45 sec).

For part B, we are looking for the time that the ball lands on the surface of the moon. Set the height equal to 0 because the height of something ON the ground is 0:

0=-2.7t^2+50t+6.5 and factor that to get

t = -.129 sec and t = 18.65 sec

Since time can NEVER be negative, we know that it takes 18.65 seconds after launch for the ball to land on the surface of the moon.

19% of a certain population of students at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is affected by an autosomal dominant condition called ‘laz
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

81%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'L' be the dominant and 'l' e the recessive allele for ‘lazybuttness’.

Since ‘lazybuttness’ is an autosomal dominant condition, the 19% of students affected by the condition correspond to the  homozygous dominant (LL) and heterozygous (Ll) genotypes. Therefore, the rest of the population has the homozygous recessive genotype (ll) and is not affected. The frequency of students not affected is:

F = 100% - 19% = 81%
