A gymnast dismounts the uneven parallel bars. Her height, h, depends on the time, t, that she is in the air h = −162 + 24t + 16.

How long will it take the gymnast to reach the ground?

That is when h=0
so assuming yo meant
h(t)=-16t²+24t+16
solve for t such that h(t)=0
because when height=0, the gymnast hits the ground

so
0=-16t²+24t+16
using math (imma complete the square
0=-16(t²-3/2t)+16
0=-16(t²-3/2t+9/16-9/16)+16
0=-16((t-3/4)²-9/16)+16
0=-16(t-3/4)²+9+16
0=-16(t-3/4)²+25
-25=-16(t-3/4)²
25/16=(t-3/4)²
sqrt both sides
+/-5/4=t-3/4
3/4+/-5/4=t
if we do plus (because minus would give us negative height)
8/4=t
2=t
it takes 2 seconds

A customer visiting the suit department of a certain store will purchase a suit with probability .22, a shirt with probability .
BigorU [14]

Answer:

a) The probability that he doesnt but any items is 0.49

b) He buys exactly 1 of those items with probability 0.28

Step-by-step explanation:

lets call su the event that the customer purchases a suit, sh the event that teh customer purchases a shirt and t the event that the customer purchases a tie.

Remembe that for events A, B and C we have that

P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B)

P(A U B U C) = P(A) + P(B) + P(C) - P(A ∩ B) - P(A ∩ C) - P(B ∩ C) + P(A ∩ B ∩ C)

Also, we are given that

P(su) = 0.22

P(sh) = 0.3

p(t) = 0.28

p(su ∩ sh) =  0.11

P(su ∩ t) = 0.14

P(sh ∩ t) = 0.1

P(sh ∩ t ∩ su) = 0.06

The event that he doesnt buy any item has as complementary event su ∪ sh ∪ t, therefore

P( he doesnt but any items) = 1-P(su U sh U t) =

1-( P(su) + p(sh) + p(t) - P(su ∩ sh) - p(su∩t) - p(sh∩t) + p(su∩sh∩t) ) =

1-(0.22+0.30+0.28-0.11-0.14-0.1+0.06) = 1-0.51 = 0.49

b) The probability that he buys at least 2 items is equal to

p(su ∩ t) + p(su ∩ sh) + p(sh ∩ t) -2 p(su ∩ t ∩ sh) (because we are counting the triple intersection 3 times, so we need to remove it twice)

This number is

0.14+0.11+0.1-2*0.06 = 0.23

Thus, the probability that he buys exactly one item can be computed by substracting from one the probability of the complementary event : she buys 2 or more or non items

P(he buys exactly one item) = 1- ( p(he buys none items) + p(he buys at least 2) ) = 1- 0.49-0.23 = 0.28

The following table shows the number of hours a cleaning company spends cleaning apartments.
mart [117]
First, plot the points in a graph to see the general trend. The independent variable is time. I used MS Excel to plot the points in a graph, as shown in the attached picture.

1. The relationship is linear as shown in the general trend.
2. The relationship presents that as time increases, the number of apartments cleaned also increases. The two variables are directly proportional.
3. The rate of change represents the slope of the line. Choose any two points and find the slope. 

m = (6-3)/(2-1) = 3 apartments cleaned/hour

Which rule represents the translation from the pre-image, ΔABC, to the image, ΔA'B'C'?
kirill [66]

Answer:

From the figure, it can be seen that the mage A'B'C' is obtained from the pre-image ABC by translating/shifting the vertices of the image by 7 units to the right and 6 units down.

Therefore, the rule represents the translation from the pre-image, ΔABC, to the image, ΔA'B'C' is (x, y) → (x + 7, y – 6).

9. Ms. Ortiz sells tomatoes wholesale. The function p(x)=–80x2 + 320x – 10, graphed below,
labwork [276]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is B. $310 at $2 per kilogram</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's find out the maximum profit Ms. Ortiz can make with a loaf of tomatoes:

function p(x)=–80x² + 320x – 10

For x = 1, price per kilogram of tomatoes would be: 4 - x = 3

–80x² + 320x – 10, replacing with x = 1

-80 * 1² + 320 * 1 - 10 = -80 + 320 - 10 = 230

For x = 2 price per kilogram of tomatoes would be: 4 - x = 2

–80x² + 320x – 10, replacing with x = 2

-80 * 2² + 320 * 2 - 10 = -320 + 640 - 10 = 310

For x = 3, price per kilogram of tomatoes would be: 4 - x = 1

–80x² + 320x – 10, replacing with x = 3

-80 * 3² + 320 * 3 - 10 = -720 + 960 - 10 = 230

<u>The correct answer is B. $310 at $2 per kilogram</u>
