Step-by-step explanation:

it is still precisely the same method and formula just with different numbers.

y = -16x² + 212x + 139

we assume, the ground is at 0 ft.

so, we need to solve

0 = -16x² + 212x + 139

the general solution for such quadratic equations is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case

a = -16

b = 212

c = 139

x = (-212 ± sqrt(212² - 4×-16×139))/(2×-16) =

= (-212 ± sqrt(44944 + 8896))/-32 =

= (-212 ± sqrt(53840))/-32

x1 = (-212 + 232.0344802...)/-32 = -0.626077506... s

x2 = (-212 - 232.0344802...)/-32 = 13.87607751... s

again, the negative solution for time did not make any sense, so, x2 is our solution.

the rocket will hit the ground after about 13.88 seconds.

Determine the function which corresponds to the given graph<br> The asymptote is x=3

stepladder [879]

The function has a horizontal asymptote at y = 3.
The function has a vertical asymptote at x = -3.
The function has a vertical intercept of 1.
The function has a zero of x = -2.

Because the function has a zero at x = -2, and a vertical asymptote at x = -3, therefore
$y= \frac{k(x+2)}{x+3}$

Write the function in the form
y = $y= \frac{k(1+ \frac{2}{x}) }{1+ \frac{3}{x} }$

As x → ∞, y → k.
Because a horizontal asymptote exists at y = 3, therefore k = 3.
A vertical intercept exists at y = 1.
The function is
$y = \frac{3(x+2)(x+1)}{(x+3)(x+1)}$

Answer: $y = \frac{3(x+2)(x+1)}{(x+3)(x+1)}$

Allan keeps tropical fish his aquarium is 4 feet long ,1 foot wideand 2 feet tall each fish needs atleast 0.5ft 3 of water what

Alik [6]

Answer: There are 16 fish that he can keep in the aquarium.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of aquarium = 4 feet

Width of aquarium = 1 foot

So, it forms a shape of cuboid.

As we know the formula for "Volume of Cuboid":

$Volume=Length\times Breadth\times Height\\\\Volume=4\times 1\times 2\\\\Volume=8\ ft^3$

According to question, Each fish needs atleast 0.5 cubic feet of water.

So, Number of fish that he can keep in the aquarium is given by

$\frac{8}{0.5}=16$

Hence, there are 16 fish that he can keep in the aquarium.

Which fraction is the smallest? A. 5⁄6 B. 2⁄3 C. 3⁄5 D. 11⁄15

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5/6=0.83

2/3=0.66

3/5=0.60

11/15=0.73

by changing them to a decimal you get a better look at the amounts they are work and it puts them in a common value.From this you can see that 3/5 is the lowest fraction form the groups so your answer would be <u>C</u>
