For each number, determine if it can be written as a fraction. Then state the reason.

Step-by-step explanation:

cost at store A :

cost(b) = 10b + 75

cost at store B :

cosr(b) = 15b

b = the number of books bought.

to answer the question find for what b both functions deliver the same result :

10b + 75 = 15b

75 = 5b

b = 15

when buying the 15th book both costs are the same.

to keep the costs of store A truly less than the costs of store B the limit is therefore 14 books.

The value of f(16)=903.99, if f(x) is an exponential function where f(2)=3 and f(10.5)=96

The exponential function is a mathematical function that is represented by f(x)=exp or ex. Unless otherwise specified, the term refers to a positive-valued function of a real variable, though it can be extended to complex numbers or generalized to other mathematical objects such as matrices or Lie algebras. Although the exponential function was derived from the concept of exponentiation (repeated multiplication), modern definitions (there are several equivalent characterizations) allow it to be rigorously extended to all real arguments, including irrational numbers. Because of its prevalence in pure and applied mathematics, mathematician Walter Rudin called the exponential function the most important function in mathematics.

For exponential function,

f(x)= abˣ ; b>0, a, b ∈R

Given, f(2)=3

f(10.5)=96

Therefore, f(2)=ab²

3=ab²

a=3/b²

f(10.5)=a[tex]b^{10.5}[/tex]

96=a[tex]b^{10.5}[/tex]

a=96/[tex]b^{10.5}[/tex]

By equating a values then,

3/b²=96/[tex]b^{10.5}[/tex]

3[tex]b^{10.5}[/tex]=96b²

32=[tex]b^{10.5}[/tex]b⁻²

[tex]b^{8.5}[/tex]=32

b=[tex](32)^{1/8.5}[/tex]

Therefore, b=1.5034

a=3/b²

a=3/(1.5034)²

a=1.3273

f(16)=ab¹⁶

f(16)=(1.3273)(1.5034)¹⁶

f(16)=903.99

Applying the corresponding angles theorem, the measure of ∠HIJ = 33°.

If two triangles are similar to each other, their corresponding angles would be equal. Also, based on the corresponding angles theorem, corresponding angles are equal to each other.

Triangles IHJ and FGH are similar to each other, therefore, angles HFG and HIJ are corresponding angles.

Therefore:

The measure of angle HFG = the measure of angle HIJ

m∠HFG = 57 − 6x

m∠HIJ = −4x + 49

Thus:

57 − 6x = -4x + 49

Combine like terms

4x - 6x = -57 + 49

-2x = -8

Divide both sides by -2

-2x/-2 = -8/-2

x = 4

m∠HIJ = −4x + 49 = -4(4) + 49

Answer:

a) See attached (sorry if its a bit unneat, use 5 points for more accuracy while drawing. 3 points is generally accepted though.)

b) 80 mins

c) 4000 meters, 40 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

First, lets define the literal meaning of the questions.

A) Graph the function (I will explain how to do below)

B) What is the absolute value of the distance of the x-intercepts?

C) What is the y value of the vertex (maximum/ minimum value). What is the x value of the vertex?

Lets solve these problems. To graph a quadratic equation by hand, first you must find the vertex. Formula for the x-value of the vertex:

[tex]\frac{-b}{2a}[/tex]

Because a quadratic equation is in the form:

[tex]ax^2 + bx + c = 0[/tex]

We can find the values of a and b.

Values of a and b in this equation:

a: -2.5

b: 200

Plug into the vertex formula (shown above), -b/2a

[tex]\frac{(-)(200)}{(2)(-2.5)}[/tex]

Simplify.

[tex]\frac{-200}{-5}[/tex]

Simplify.

-200/-5 = 40

Now we have 40, the x value of the vertex. Plug 40 back into the x values of the problem (t in this word problem) to find the y value of the vertex.

The equation:

[tex]h=-2.5t^2+200t[/tex]

Plug in 40 to the t values.

[tex]h = -2.5(40)^2 + 200(40)[/tex]

Simplify.

[tex]h = -4000 + 8000[/tex]

Add.

h = 4000

Now, we have the values of the vertex.

Values of vertex:

x: 40

y: 4000

This means that when the x-value is 40, the y-value is 4000. In this case, it means 40 minutes in, the altitude of the plane is 4000 meters.

On a graph, draw a point at x-value 40 and y-value 4000. This will be needed when we draw the graph.

We need at least 3 points to graph a quadratic equation (this applies to all parabolas.)

This part is a bit hard to explain, but you will get it with this example. Since we need 3 points, we need to solve for 2 more points like we just did. But what x-values do we use? For the vertex, we knew the x value was -b/2a!

Solve for x-values that have an equivalent absolute distance from the x value of the vertex.

For example, in this case, the x value of the vertex is 40.

If we were to pick the x value of 38 for the 2nd point, we would have to use the 42 for the 3rd point as they are both 2 away from 40.

|40-38| = 2

|40-42| = 2

I will use the x values of 38 and 42 to graph this. Lets do the same thing we did to find the y value of the vertex. Plug the x values into the equation individually.

Equation:

[tex]h=-2.5t^2+200t[/tex]

Plug in 38 to the x values (in this case its called t.)

[tex]h = -2.5(38)^2 + 200(38)[/tex]

Simplify.

h = -3610 + 7600

Add.

h = 3990

This means when the x value of the parabola is 38, the y value is 3990. In this case, it means after the plane has flown for 38 minutes, the altitude of the plane is 3990.

Now lets find what the y-value of the parabola would be when the x-value is 42 (when we've did this, we can graph it.)

But here is a little trick to speeden things up. If the absolute value of the difference of the x-value of the vertex (40 in this case) and the x value of the point we just found (38 in this case) is the same as the absolute value of the difference of the 3rd point we need to graph (42 in this case), which is always true if you followed the steps above, the y value is the same!

So, this means, when:

Point 2:

x: 38

y: 3990

Point 3:

x: 42

y: 3990

The y-value of the 3rd point we need to find is 3990.

Now we can graph it using our points.

Point 1 (Vertex):

x: 40

y: 4000

Point 2:

x: 38

y: 3990

Point 3:

x: 42

y: 3990

I'll just use paint to draw this, draw the points, label them, and connect the points with a parabola.

Now lets answer b using the definitions.

Because we need to find the x intercepts, lets use the quadratic formula.

[tex]\frac{ -b± \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

Ignore the A's, its a bug.

If you need to know how to use the quadratic equation, DM me. Otherwise, I will just write the x-intercepts.

x-intercepts:

Because it is asking for the distance between Toronto and Montreal in minutes, subtract 0 from 80.

80-0=80

B) 80 minutes

The maximum height of the aircraft is the y value of the vertex and the time that the aircraft reaches this height is the x-value of the intercept.

(Vertex):

x: 40

y: 4000

C) 4000 meters, 40 minutes

Answer:

a)  See attached.

b)  80 minutes

c)  Maximum height = 4000 m

    Time = 40 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function:

[tex]h=-2.5t^2+200t[/tex]

where:

The function is quadratic, which means the graph of the function is a parabola.  

Axis of Symmetry

A parabola has perfect symmetry.

For a quadratic in the form  [tex]ax^2+bx+c[/tex], its axis of symmetry is:

[tex]\boxed{x=-\dfrac{b}{2a}}[/tex]

Therefore, the axis of symmetry for the given function is:

[tex]x=-\dfrac{200}{2(-2.5)}=40[/tex]

Vertex

As the leading coefficient is negative, the parabola opens downwards.

Therefore, the vertex is the maximum point of the parabola.

The axis of symmetry is the x-value of the vertex.

Substitute t = 40 into the given function to find the y-value of the vertex:

[tex]\implies h(40)=-2.5(40)^2+200(40)[/tex]

[tex]\implies h(40)=4000[/tex]

Therefore, the vertex of the function is (40, 4000).

x-intercepts

To find the x-intercepts of the function, set the function to zero and solve for t:

[tex]\implies -2.5t^2+200t=0[/tex]

[tex]\implies -2.5t(t-80)=0[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\implies -2.5t=0 \implies t=0[/tex]

[tex]\implies t-80=0 \implies t=80[/tex]

Therefore, the x-intercepts are (0, 0) and (0, 80).

Graphing the function

Draw a coordinate plane where the axis scale is:

Plot:

Draw a curve, symmetric about the axis of symmetry, that passes through the vertex and the x-intercepts.

When the aircraft is in Toronto and Montreal, the height of the aircraft is zero.

The time at which the height of the aircraft is zero is t = 0 and t = 80 (from part a).  Therefore, the time it takes to fly from Toronto to Montreal is the difference between the two times:

[tex]\implies 80-0=80\; \sf minutes[/tex]

The maximum height of the aircraft is the y-value of the vertex of the parabola.

Therefore, as the vertex of the parabola is (40, 4000), the maximum height of the aircraft is 4000 m.  

The maximum height is reached 40 minutes after the aircraft leaves Toronto.

The solution of the system of equations is; (7, 45).

The solution in this situation means that after 7 days, Adela and Isaiah would each have 45 bracelets.

It follows from the task content that the solution to the system of equations is to be determined and interpreted accordingly.

Since the given equations are;

By elimination, we must subtract Isaiah's equation from Adela's so that we have;

(y - y) = (3x - 5x) + (24 - 10)

0 = -2x + 14

2x = 14; x = 7.

Consequently, y = 3 (7) + 24

y = 21 + 24; y = 45.

Consequently, the solution to the system of equations as given in the task content is; (7, 45).

This means that after 7 days, Adela and Isaiah would both have; 45 bracelets.
