A football is punted from a height of 2.5 feet above the ground with an initial vertical velocity of 45 feet per second.

7 0

The standard kinematics equation is for an object projected vertically is:
H(t)=H0+v0(t)+(1/2)at^2
H0=height at time 0
v0(t)=vertical velocity at time 0
a=acceleration [equals -g for gravity]
H(t) height of projectile at time t.

We're given
H0=2.5'
v0=45 '/s
a=-32.2 '/s^2

so the kinematics equation is
H(t)=2.5+45(t)+(1/2)(-32.2)t^2= 2.5+45t-16.1t^2

Solve for H(t)=5.5 using the quadratic formula:
H(t)=5.5= 2.5+45t-16.1t^2
t=0.0683 s [ on its way up ], or
t=2.727 s [caught on its way down]

Therefore the football was in the air for 2.727 seconds.

Answer:

Day 21: 810 m

Day 60: 1,200 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of meters she walk everyday can be modeled as a linear function, as the rate of variation is a constant (10 m/day):

$dD/dt=10\;\text{m/day}$

This constant (10 m/day) is the slope of the linear function.

We know one point of the linear function (D(20)=800) and the slope, so we can calculate the y-intercept:

$D(t)=10t+b\\\\D(20)=10*20+b=800\\\\b=800-10*20=800-200\\\\b=600$

Now, we can calculate the distance she walks by day 21 and day 60:

$D(21)=10*21+600=210+600=810\\\\\\D(60)=10*60+600=600+600=1,200$

According to Descartes's rule of sign, how many possible positive and negative roots are there for the equation

damaskus [11]

<h2>Descartes Rule of Sign</h2><h3>Answer:</h3>

There are $3$ Real Roots for the Equation

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

According to Descartes Rule of Sign, The maximum number of real roots a polynomial equation has is the number of times the sign of term changes from a higher power term to a lower power term.

In the given equation, $0=-4x^6-3x^5+2x^2-4x+1$ , we can already see that from $\red -4x^6$ to $\red -3x^5$ we can see that the sign didn't change so there might be no real roots. From $\red -3x^5$ to $\blue +2x^2$ , we can see that the signs change so we now know that there might be $1$ real root for equation. From $\blue +2x^2$ to $\red -4x$ , the signs changed so there might be $2$ real roots. From $\red -4x$ to $\blue +1$ , it changed again so there might be $3$ real roots. There are no other term with lesser power to compare for $\blue +1$ so we are left with $3$ real roots.
