Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of basket ball courts = 11

Total number of people playing basketball = 54

Number of players required for one on one game = 2

Number of players required for team game = 10

Inequality to represent number of one on one and team Games being played :

Let one on one games = a

Team games = b

Number of players required for each game * number of games

2a + 10b = 54 - - - (1)

a + b = 11 - - - (2)

a = 11 - b

2(11 - b) + 10b = 54

22 - 2b + 10b = 54

8b = 32

b = 4

a = 11 - b

a = 11 - 4

a = 7

Number of one on one games = 7

Number of Team games = 4

A ball is launched into the sky at 19.6 feet per second from a 58.8 meter tall building. The equation for the ball's height. h,
Crazy boy [7]
H represents the height of the ball at a given time, symbolised as t.
Thus, we just need to find when h = 0 so that we find when it hits the ground.

0 = -4.9t² + 19.6t + 58.8
0 = 4.9t² - 19.6t - 58.8
0 = 49t² - 196t - 588
0 = t² - 4t - 12
0 = (t - 6)(t + 2)

So, t = 6 or -2, but t ≠ -2, since time cannot be negative in this instance.

Hence, at 6 seconds, the ball will strike the ground.

a computer shop charges 20 pesos per hour (or a fraction of an hour) for the first two hours and additional 10 pesos per hour fo
Serhud [2]

Answer:

The equation for the price, as a function of time in hours is:

P(x) = 20*x    for 0 ≤ x ≤ 2

P(x) = 40 + 10*(x - 2)  for  2 ≤ x

Now, we want to evaluate this function in 40 mins.

we know that 1 hour = 60mins.

Then 40 mins = (40/60) hours = 0.67 hours.

Then we input this in our function, and because this is smaller than 2, we use the first piece of our function:

P(0.67) = 20*0.67 = 13.4

So in 40 mins, the charge will be 13.4 pesos.

Dean took out a 10-year loan for $40,000 at an APR of 4% compounded monthly. What will his balance be after he has made exactly
damaskus [11]

Answer:

The balance be after he has made exactly half of his monthly payments is $56881.4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Dean took out a 10-year loan for $40,000 at an APR of 4% compounded monthly.

To find : What will his balance be after he has made exactly half of his monthly payments?

Solution :

Formula of monthly payment ,

M=\frac{\text{Amount}}{\text{Discount factor}}  

Discount factor D=\frac{1-(1+i)^{-n}}{i}  

Where, Amount = $40,000

Rate r= 4% compounded monthly

i=\frac{4}{100}=0.04  

Time = 10 years  

n=10\times12=120  

Now, put all the values we get,  

D=\frac{1-(1+i)^{-n}}{i}  

D=\frac{1-(1+0.04)^{-120}}{0.04}  

D=\frac{1-(1.04)^{-120}}{0.04}  

D=\frac{1-0.00903}{0.04}  

D=\frac{0.9909}{0.04}  

D=24.7725  

M=\frac{\text{Amount}}{\text{Discount factor}}  

M=\frac{40000}{24.7725}  

M=1614.69  

Half of the monthly payment is $807.345

Payment for 10 years is 807.345\times 120=96881.4

The balance is $96881.4-$40000=$56881.4

Therefore, The balance be after he has made exactly half of his monthly payments is $56881.4.
