Answer:

3 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

When the ball hits the ground, the height will be 0. Therefore, you can substitute 0 in for the value of f(t), hence the equation will be:

0 = -16t^2 + 32t + 48

You can then factor out -16:

0 = t^2 - 2t - 3

Factor:

0 = (t-3)(t+1)
t = 3, -1

However -1 is an extraneous solution because time cannot be negative. Therefore, the answer is 3 seconds.

The base of a pyramid has n sides. write an expression for the number of corners on the pyramid.

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

n+1

If a pyramid has n number of sides

⇒number of vertices in the base = n

Since in a pyramid there is one vertex on the top,and n number of faces are on the sides,and one face is in the base.

Total number of faces of pyramid = n+1

7. Use the quadratic formula to find the solution(s). x² + 2x - 8 = 0

morpeh [17]

Hey there!

Use the quadratic formula to find the solution(s). x² + 2x - 8 = 0

Answer :

x = -4 or x = 2 ✅

Explanation :

Quadratic formula : ax² + bx + c = 0 where a ≠ 0

The number of real-number solutions (roots) is determined by the discriminant (b² - 4ac) :

If b² - 4ac > 0 , There are 2 real-number solutions

If b² - 4ac = 0 , There is 1 real-number solution.

If b² - 4ac < 0 , There is no real-number solution.

The roots of the equation are determined by the following calculation:

$x = \frac{ - b \pm \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac } }{2a}$

Here, we have :

a = 1
b = 2
c = -8

1) Calculate the discriminant :

b² - 4ac ⇔ 2² - 4(1)(-8) ⇔ 4 - (-32) ⇔ 36

b² - 4ac = 36 > 0 ; The equation admits two real-number solutions

2) Calculate the roots of the equation:

▪️ (1)

$x_1 = \frac{ - b - \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac} }{2a} \\ \\ x_1 = \frac{ - 2 - \sqrt{36} }{2(1) } \\ \\ x_1 = \frac{ - 2 - 6}{2} \\ \\ x_1 = \frac{ - 8}{2} \\ \\ \blue{\boxed{\red{x_1 = -4}}}$

▪️ (2)

$x_2 = \frac{ - b + \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac } }{2a} \\ \\ x_2 = \frac{ - 2 + \sqrt{36} }{2(1)} \\ \\ x_2 = \frac{ - 2 + 6}{2} \\ \\ x_2 = \frac{4}{2} \\ \\ \red{\boxed{\blue{x_2 = 2}}}$

>> Therefore, your answers are x = -4 or x = 2.
