By expressing the equation in its standard format, we have: ax^2 + bx + c = 0. First, we expand (x + 15)(x) = 100 to get x^2 + 15x - 100 = 0. Next, from (x + 20)(x - 5) = 0, we find the solutions to be x = -20 and x = 5. Hence, the accurate choice is option B. We discard x = -20 since it is not a valid solution.

Starting with the equation (x + 15)x = 100, we can reformulate it as x^2 + 15x - 100 = 0. This can further be expressed as x^2 + 20x - 5x - 100 = 0, which simplifies to x(x + 20) - 5(x + 20) = 0, resulting in (x - 5)(x + 20) = 0. Thus, we obtain x = 5 or x = -20, but only x = 5 is acceptable since -20 is not valid.

The curvature of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in
tester [10823]

Response:

The width of the arch measures 105 meters

Detailed explanation:

The function that describes the width of the arch is

f(x) = -0.016(x - 52.5)² + 45

where x denotes the horizontal distance from the left end of the arch or the width at its base

f(x) indicates the vertical height of the arch

According to the given quadratic equation, the vertex coordinates of the parabola are (52.5, 45).

The vertex coordinates indicate that

the arch's height is 45 meters

and half the horizontal span from the left end is 52.5 meters

Therefore, the bridge's total width is calculated as 2 times the half span from the left side, which is 2 × 52.5

resulting in 105 meters

Consequently, the bridge's width is 105 meters.

A company buys pens at the rate of $7.50 per box for the first 10 boxes, $5.50 per box for the next 10 boxes, and $4.50 per box
tester [10823]

Let's start by calculating the cost of the first 10 boxes, which totals $75, and the next 10 boxes cost $55.

Together, these 20 boxes amount to $130 spent. With $18 remaining, you can purchase 4 more boxes since 18 divided by 4.5 equals 4.

Therefore, the maximum number of boxes you can buy with $148 is 24.

babunello [10317]

Detailed explanation:

Information provided:

Tran possesses a credit card that allows up to $2000 in spending with an APR of 12%.

In the initial month, Tran incurred charges of $450 and settled $150 within that billing period.

The formula to determine the interest that will accrue for Tran in the first month is (0.012)(300)

Here, 0.01 signifies the monthly interest rate.

The 300 reflects the outstanding balance, as Tran charged $450 but only paid back $150.
