Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

d + q = 32

.10d + .25q = 5.00

d + q = 32

10d + 25q = 500

-10d - 10q = -320

10d + 25q = 500

15q = 180

q= 12 quarters

d + 12 = 32

d = 20 dimes

A hovercraft takes off from a platform. Its height (in meters), xxx seconds after takeoff, is modeled by: h(x)=-2x^2+20x+48h(x)=

Ad libitum [116K]

the maximum height is the y-value of the vertex.

h(x) = -2x² + 20x + 48

a=-2, b=20, c=48

$x = \frac{-b}{2a} = \frac{-20}{2(-2)} = \frac{-20}{-4} = 5$

h(5) = -2(5)² + 20(5) + 48

= -50 + 100 + 48

= 50 + 48

= 98

Answer: 98 meters

A ball is thrown from a height of 43 meters

AveGali [126]

When the ball will hit the ground, the height will be zero. So we need to replace $h$ with 0 in our equation, and solve for $t$ :
$0=43-4t-5t^{2}$
$-5t^{2}-4t+43=0$
To solve this equation we are going to use the quadratic formula: $t= \frac{-b(+/-) \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a}$ .
From our height equation, we can infer that $a=-5$ , $b=-4$ , and $c=43$ . So lets replace those values in our quadratic formula to find $t$
$t= \frac{-(-4)(+/-) \sqrt{(-4)^{2}-4(-5)(43)} }{2(-5)}$
$t=- \frac{5}{8} - \frac{ \sqrt{713} }{8}$ or $t=- \frac{5}{8} + \frac{ \sqrt{713} }{8}$
$t=-3.96$ or $t=2.71$
Since time cannot be negative, $t=2.71$ is the solution of our equation.

We can conclude that the ball will hit the ground after 2.71 seconds.
