<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: The first graphic representation.

<h2>Why?</h2>

We are given a quadratic equation, meaning that it could be two possible solutions for the exercise, however, we are talking about time, so we have to consider only the obtained positive values.

Let's make the equation equal to 0 in order to find the values of "t"

h(t) = -16.1t^2 + 150

0=-16.1t^2+150

16.1t^2=150

t^2=\frac{150}{16.1} =9.32

t=+-\sqrt{9.32} =+-3.05

t1=3.05

t2=-305

So, discarding the negative value, we can use the possitive value to find the correct graphic representation.

To find the correct graphic representation we must take into consideration the following:

- We must remember that the sign of the coefficient of the quadratic term (t^2) will define if the parabola opens downward or upward.

From the given quadratic (or parabola) equation we have:

a=-1

b=0

c=150

So, since the coefficient of the quadratic term is negative, the parabola opens downward.

- Since we are looking for a graphic that represents the change in height over time, we need to look for a graphic that shows only positive values for the x-axis (time)

- We are looking for a parabola which y-axis intercept is equal to 150.

Therefore, the graphic representation of the quadratic function that models a ball's height over time is the first graphic representation.

lord [1]
The increase of the radius is a linear increase since we have the constant rate of 0.07 inches per second

The equation for a linear growth/decay is given by the form y=mx+c where m is the rate of increase and c is the value of y when x=0

We have 
m = 0.07 
c=36 when t=0

So the equation is r=0.07t+36

The length of the radius when t=400 seconds is
r=0.07(400)+36
r=64 inches

HELP ME!,!,,,! I’ve been waiting for 30 minutes
Furkat [3]

Answer:

5/9=1/2

12/13=1

2/13=0

Step-by-step explanation:

These are just based on what I think and also

5/9=0.55... so closer to 0.5 which =1/2

12/13 is just really close to 13/13

2/13 is really close to 0/13 rather than 6.5/13, which is 1/2

kati45 [8]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Those people who are actively seeking for a job are counted as unemployed. Underemployment is not considered as unemployment. Those who have given up looking for jobs are also not considered as unemployed as well. Hence there are 10 unemployed people.
