The runner's time to complete the marathon was 10% less than the time to complete the last marathon. The runner's time to complete the marathon was of the time to complete the last marathon.

Here is their argument. given the obtuse angle x, we make a quadrilateral abcd with ∠dab = x, and ∠abc = 90◦, and ad = bc. say the perpendicular bisector to dc meets the perpendicular bisector to ab at p. then pa = pb and pc = pd. so the triangles pad and pbc have equal sides and are congruent. thus ∠pad = ∠pbc. but pab is isosceles, hence ∠pab = ∠pba. subtracting, gives x = ∠pad−∠pab = ∠pbc −∠pba = 90◦. this is a preposterous conclusion – just where is the mistake in the "proof" and why does the argument break down there?

Aschool typically sells 500 yearbooks each year for 50 dollars each. the economic calls does a project and discovers that they can sell 100 more yearbooks for every $5 decrease in price. the revenue for yearbook sales is equal to the number of yearbooks sold times the price of the yearbook. let x represent the number of $5 decrease in price. if the expression that represents the revenue is written in the form r(x)=(500+ax)(50-bx). to maximize profit, what price should the school charge for the yearbooks? what is the possible maximum revenue? if the school attains the maximum revenue, how many yearbooks will they sell?

Aman steps out of a plane at a height of 4,000m above the ground falls 2,000m very quickly and then opens his parachute and slowly falls the remaining 2000m to the ground what height above the ground would be the best choice for a reference point
