A class has $90 to spend on a field trip. The field trip costs $2.50 per person and there will be 5 chaperones on the trip. One

student used the inequality 90 > 2.50 (x + 5)to find x, the number of students that the field trip budget could accommodate. Which best describes the error in the student’s inequality?

Answer:

Instead of greater than, the inequality symbol should be greater than or equal to.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the variable x represents the number of students.  We also know there are 5 chaperones attending; this makes x+5 the total number of people attending.

It costs $2.50 per person; this means we multiply the number of people, x+5, by 2.50:

2.50(x+5)

The class has $90 to spend; this means they can spend up to and including $90.  This gives us

90 ≥ 2.50(x+5)

<h2>Greetings!</h2><h3>The inequality sign is not correct because the > symbol means greater than. However, up to and including $90 can be spent so the inequality sign should be ≥ (greater than or equal to).</h3>
<h2>Hope this helps!</h2>

Use the position function s(t) = −16t² + 400, which gives the height (in feet) of an object that has fallen for t seconds from a
skad [1K]

Answer:

160m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The object can hit the ground when t = a; meaning that s(a) = s(t) = 0

So, 0 = -16a² + 400

16a² = 400

a² = 25

a = √25

a = 5 (positive 5 only because that's the only physical solution)

The instantaneous velocity is

v(a) = lim(t->a) [s(t) - s(a)]/[t-a)

Where s(t) = -16t² + 400

and s(a) = -16a² + 400

v(a) = Lim(t->a) [-16t² + 400 + 16a² - 400]/(t-a)

v(a) = Lim(t->a) (-16t² + 16a²)/(t-a)

v(a) = lim (t->a) -16(t² - a²)(t-a)

v(a) = -16lim t->a (t²-a²)(t-a)

v(a) = -16lim t->a (t-a)(t+a)/(t-a)

v(a) = -16lim t->a (t+a)

But a = t

So, we have

v(a) = -16lim t->a 2a

v(a) = -32lim t->a (a)

v(a) = -32 * 5

v(a) = -160

Velocity = 160m/s

Two ropes, AD and BD, are tied to a peg on the ground at point D. The other ends of the ropes are tied to points A and B on a fl
BigorU [14]
You have two 30-60-90 triangles, ADC and BDC.

The ratio of the lengths of the sides of a 30-60-90 triangle is

short leg : long leg : hypotenuse
     1        :  sqrt(3)  :        2

Using triangle ADC, we can find length AC.
Using triangle BDC, we can find length BC.
Then AB = AC - BC

First, we find length AC.
Look at triangle ACD.
DC is the short leg opposite the 30-deg angle.
DC = 10sqrt(3)
AC = sqrt(3) * 10sqrt(3) = 3 * 10 = 30

Now, we find length BC.
Look at triangle BCD.
For triangle BCD, the long leg is DC and the short leg is BC.
BC = 10sqrt(3)/sqrt(3) = 10

AB = AC - BC = 30 - 10 = 20

Decrease £16870 by 3% , give your answer rounded 2 decimal places
lidiya [134]
To decrease it by 3% we need to fine 97% of it and 97% is the same as 0.97

16870 times 0.97=16363.9

16870 decreased by 3% is 16363.9

I hope I've helped!
