The maximum height that the object will reach is 40 feet.

For any quadratic equation of the form, f(t) = at² + bt + c,

where a, b and c are constants

The maximum value of f(t) is give by the formula:

f(t) = c - (b²/4a)

Since the position of the object can be modeled using the function:

f(t) = -16t² + 24t + 16

where a = -16, b = 24 and c = 16

Thus, the maximum height will be:

maximum height = 16 - (24² / 4(-6))

maximum height = 16 - 576/(-24)

maximum height = 16 + 24

maximum height = 40 feet

The width of the rectangular field is 80 meters and the length is 120 meters for the given perimeter 400m.

Perimeter is a mathematical term that refers to the total distance around the outside of a closed two-dimensional shape. It is the sum of the lengths of all the sides of the shape.

According to the given information:

Let's break down the information given in the question:

Length of the rectangular field is 40m greater than the width.

The perimeter of the field is 400m.

Let's denote the width of the rectangular field as 'w' meters. According to the first information, the length of the field would be 'w + 40' meters, as it is 40m greater than the width.

Now, let's use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle, which is given by:

Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Width)

Substituting the values we have:

Perimeter = 2 * (w + 40 + w)

Perimeter = 2 * (2w + 40)

Since the given perimeter is 400m, we can set up the equation:

400 = 2 * (2w + 40)

Now we can solve for 'w' by dividing both sides of the equation by 2:

400/2 = 2w + 40

200 = 2w + 40

Next, we subtract 40 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with 'w':

200 - 40 = 2w

160 = 2w

Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for 'w':

160/2 = w

80 = w

So, the width of the rectangular field is 80 meters. And since the length is 40 meters greater than the width, the length would be:

Length = Width + 40 = 80 + 40 = 120 meters.

So, the width of the rectangular field is 80 meters and the length is 120 meters.

Answer:

$97.50

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the sale price of the skateboard, we need to apply a discount of 35% to the original cost of $150:

Discount amount = 35% x $150 = $52.50

The sale price is the original cost minus the discount amount:

Sale price = $150 - $52.50 = $97.50

Therefore, the sale price of the skateboard after a 35% discount is $97.5

The sale price of the skateboard is $97.50.

To calculate the sale price, we need to first determine the amount of the discount, and then subtract that discount from the original price.

The discount is 35% of the original price:

Discount = 0.35 x 150 = 52.50

So the sale price is the original price minus the discount:

Sale price = 150 - 52.50 = 97.50

a. The boat is currently 60.5 miles from its pier.

b. The boat could have originally taken a bearing of either N45°E or S45°W to arrive at the current spot.

a.How to determine the distance from the boat's pier?

To determine the distance from the boat's pier, we can use the Pythagorean theorem since we have a right triangle formed by the boat's original position, the current position, and the distance traveled to reach the current position.

Let's call the distance from the boat's pier to the current position "d", and let's call the distance traveled after the turn "x".

Using trigonometry, we can see that:

sin(35°) = x/d

Rearranging this equation, we get:

x = d×sin(35°)

Now we can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for "d":

d² = 29²+ (d×sin(35°))²

d² = 841 + 0.77d²

0.23d² = 841

d² = 3661.74

d = 60.5 miles (rounded to one decimal place)

Therefore, the boat is currently 60.5 miles from its pier.

b. How to determine the original bearing?

To determine the original bearing, we can use trigonometry again. Let's call the original bearing "θ". Then we have,

cos(θ) = 29/d

Rearranging this equation,

d = 29/cos(θ)

Now we can substitute this expression for "d" into the equation we used to solve for "x" earlier:

x = d×sin(35°)

x = (29/cos(θ))×sin(35°)

We know that after traveling this distance, the boat is currently 14.6 miles away from its original position. So we can set up another equation:

cos(θ) = 14.6/(29/cos(θ))

Simplifying, we get:

cos²(θ) = 0.5

Taking the inverse cosine of both sides,

θ = 45° or θ = 315°

Therefore, the boat could have originally taken a bearing of either N45°E or S45°W to arrive at the current spot.

After 12 years, the environment can no longer support the population growth. (option a).

Population growth is a fundamental concept in ecology and biology. It refers to the increase in the number of organisms in a population over time.

The carrying capacity is the maximum number of individuals of a particular species that can be supported by the environment without degrading it. In this case, the carrying capacity of the environment is 600 organisms. When the population reaches this limit, the environment can no longer support the population, and the growth rate slows down until it reaches equilibrium.

The table provides the approximate number of organisms after y years. To determine when the environment can no longer support the population, we need to find the year when the population exceeds the carrying capacity of the environment. In other words, we need to find the year when the population reaches or exceeds 600 organisms.

Looking at the table, we can see that the population reaches 600 organisms in the year 12.

A circle's circumference may be divided up into arcs. It is described as the curved line that divides a circle into segments by joining two points on its circumference. An arc's length is inversely proportional to the angle it forms at the circle's centre.

The length of the arc increases with increasing central angle, and vice versa. In geometry, trigonometry, and physics, arcs are frequently employed to represent and compute measurements of circles and circular objects.

Okay, let's solve this step-by-step:

a)

Length = 30 in = 2.5 ft

Width = 15 in = 1.25 ft

Height = 18 in = 1.5 ft

Volume (cubic ft) = Length x Width x Height

= 2.5 x 1.25 x 1.5 = 3.75 cubic ft

Volume (cubic yards) = 3.75 / 27 = 0.14 cubic yards

b)

Since the box volume is 3.75 cubic ft and potting soil bags are 1.5 cubic ft,

you will need 3.75 / 1.5 = 2.5 bags of soil.

Each bag weighs 11.2 lbs, so 2.5 bags will weigh 2.5 * 11.2 = 28 lbs of soil.

c)

To paint the sides of the box, you need:

Length (2 sides) = 30 in x 2 = 60 in

Width (2 sides) = 15 in x 2 = 30 in

Height (4 sides) = 18 in x 4 = 72 in

Total inches of sides = 60 + 30 + 72 = 162 in

Conversion: 162 in / 12 in = 13.5 square ft

So you will need about 14 square feet of paint.

Okay, here are the steps to solve this problem:

1) Savings start in year 3 at $10,000.

2) Savings increase by $1,000 each year for 5 years, so years 4-8 savings are $11,000, $12,000, $13,000, $14,000, $15,000.

3) There are 8 years of savings total.

4) Interest rate is 15%.

To calculate the present value at year 0 (today), we use the following formula:

PV = FV / (1 + r)^n

Where FV is the future value, r is the interest rate, and n is the number of years.

So for year 3 savings of $10,000:

PV = $10,000 / (1 + 0.15)^3 = $8,562

For year 4 savings of $11,000:

PV = $11,000 / (1 + 0.15)^4 = $8,948

And so on...

Adding up the present values for years 3 to 8:

$8,562 + $8,948 + $9,371 + $9,820 + $10,298 + $10,796 + $11,310 + $11,842 = $80,847

Therefore, the total present value of the 8 years of savings is $80,847.

So the software is worth $80,847 today at a 15% interest rate.

To get the cost per mile of renting a vehicle, multiply the total cost of renting the vehicle by the total number of miles driven.

The rental cost:

10 days multiplied by $29.95 per day equals $299.50.

The total rental cost is $299.50.

The mileage cost:

865 miles minus 500 free miles equals 365 miles.

365 miles multiplied by $0.25 each mile equals $91.25.

The total cost of miles is $91.25.

Finally, let's figure up the overall cost:

Total rental expense + total mileage expense + gasoline expense = $299.50 + $91.25 + $62 = $452.75

Let us now compute the cost per mile:

Cost per mile = total cost / total distance traveled = $452.75 / 865 miles = $0.524 per mile

Answer: Andre should buy Car 2. Brainliest?

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare the gas mileage of the two cars, we need to find out how many miles each car can travel per gallon of gas.

For Car 1: y = 25x

This means that for every gallon of gas used (x), the car can travel 25 times that amount in miles (y). So, the gas mileage for Car 1 is 25 miles per gallon (mpg).

For Car 2: we can calculate the miles per gallon by dividing the total miles traveled by the number of gallons of gas used:

For 2 gallons of gas, the car can travel 60 miles. So, the gas mileage is 30 mpg (60 miles ÷ 2 gallons).

For 5 gallons of gas, the car can travel 150 miles. So, the gas mileage is 30 mpg (150 miles ÷ 5 gallons).

For 7 gallons of gas, the car can travel 210 miles. So, the gas mileage is 30 mpg (210 miles ÷ 7 gallons).

For 8 gallons of gas, the car can travel 240 miles. So, the gas mileage is 30 mpg (240 miles ÷ 8 gallons).

For 11 gallons of gas, the car can travel 330 miles. So, the gas mileage is 30 mpg (330 miles ÷ 11 gallons).

Therefore, Car 2 has a consistent gas mileage of 30 mpg.

From the above calculations, we can see that Car 2 has a better gas mileage compared to Car 1. Car 2 can travel 30 miles on a gallon of gas, while Car 1 can only travel 25 miles on a gallon of gas.

Therefore, Andre should buy Car 2 if he wants to get the best gas mileage. Car 2 can travel 5 more miles per gallon than Car 1.

In the given problem, the furniture company should produce 300 bar stools and 50 chairs to maximize their profit, and should not produce any tables.

To maximize profit, the furniture company needs to determine how many units of each product (bar stools, chairs, and tables) they should produce. Let's use x, y, and z to represent the number of bar stools, chairs, and tables respectively.

The objective function to maximize profit is:

Profit = 10x + 25y + 35z

The company has constraints on the amount of labor, wood, and stain available. These constraints can be expressed as follows:

Labor: 1x + 4y + 2z ≤ 700 (the company has 700 hours of labor available each week)

Wood: 8x + 16y + 32z ≤ 3360 (the company has 3360 feet of wood available each week)

Stain: 0.2x + 0.4y + 0.5z ≤ 60 (the company has 60 gallons of stain available each week)

Also, since we cannot produce negative units of any product, we must add the constraint that x, y, and z are all non-negative.

x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0, z ≥ 0

We can now use linear programming techniques to solve this problem. One possible method is the simplex method, which involves converting the problem into an augmented matrix and applying row operations until we obtain the optimal solution.

The optimal solution is:

x = 300 (produce 300 bar stools)

y = 50 (produce 50 chairs)

z = 0 (do not produce any tables)

The maximum profit that the company can earn is:

Profit = 10x + 25y + 35z = 10(300) + 25(50) + 35(0) = $3,250

I do not understand what do you mean

Answer: 16

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Distribute the 12 to the x variable and the constant.

You will get 12x - 240 = -48

2. -48 + 240 = 192. You now have 12x = 192

3. solve for x. x = 192/12 -> x = 16

In order to determine a system of inequalities from a graph, these steps must be undertaken:

Initially, locate the boundary lines that form either solid or dashed sections of the graph. These lines serve as an illustration of the equations defining the bounds of the specified solution.

Next, it is important to identify which inequality symbol exists for each line on this graph. One can accomplish this by examining the shaded portion located within the region bounded by the particular line being considered.

Finally, once all relevant information has been gathered when assessing the inequality pairs against their respective graphical boundaries, you should study the resulting solution set closely. This collection represents the specific region depicted in the graph satisfying every provided inequality.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) We know that the balance An in the nth month is given by:

An = k · An-1 - 400

where A0 = 14,000. Substituting n = 1, we get:

A1 = k · A0 - 400

A1 = k · 14,000 - 400

We also know that her uncle charges 0.9% interest per month on the balance. This means that the balance after one month should be:

A1' = A0 + 0.009 · A0 - 400

A1' = 14,000 + 0.009 · 14,000 - 400

A1' = 14,126

Setting A1 = A1', we can solve for k:

k · 14,000 - 400 = 14,126

k = 1.009

Therefore, k is approximately 1.009.

(b) To find her balance after two months, we can use the recursive formula with n = 2:

A2 = k · A1 - 400

A2 = 1.009 · 14,126 - 400

Using a calculator, we get:

A2 ≈ 14,272.34

Therefore, her balance after two months is approximately $14,272.34.
