Luis, using appropriate safety precautions, fires a .22 caliber gun directly into the sky above him. The bullet travels at a spe

ed of 1200 feet per second. The following equation gives the height of the bullet at any point in time:
H (height) = -16t2 + 1200t, where t is the number of seconds; t = 0 is the instant when the gun is fired.
How long will the bullet be in the air?

The equation represents height as a function of time.

The bullet was in the air for 75 seconds.

The equation is given as:

h(t) = -16t^2  + 1200t

The time spent in the air is the time it takes the bullet to land on the ground.

When the bullet is on the ground, the height is:

h(t) = 0

So, we have:

h(t) = -16t^2  + 1200t

-16t^2 + 1200t = 0

Factor out t

t(-16t + 1200) = 0

Split

t = 0 or -16t + 1200 = 0

t = 0 represents when the shot is fired.

So, we solve for t in -16t + 1200 = 0

Collect like terms

16t = 1200

Divide both sides by 16

t = 75

Hence, the bullet was in the air for 75 seconds

1/5x-2/3y=30 when y=15
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Set y to 15 and solve</u>

<u />\frac{1}{5}x - \frac{2}{3}*15=30

\frac{1}{5}x-10=30

<em>Add 10 to both sides</em>

<em />\frac{1}{5}x-10+10=30+10

\frac{1}{5}x=40

<em>Multiply both sides by 5</em>

<em />\frac{1}{5}x*\frac{5}{1}=40*\frac{5}{1}

x=200

Answer:  x=200
