Answer:

a) 50 meters

b) 2354 meters

c) 12 seconds

d) 24.13 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

<h3>a) How far is Lincoln above the ground when he shoots the gun?</h3>

We need to really understand what the variables represent in this question. Given that t is time, and h is height, the time at which he shoots the bullet will be 0, as the bullet hasn't started traveling yet. This means that we can solve for the original height of the bullet by plugging in 0 for time in the equation.

Equation: h = -16t^2 + 384t + 50

Plug in 0 for t:

  • h = -16t^2 + 384t + 50
  • h = -16(0)^2 + 384(0) + 50
  • h = 50

The height at which Lincoln shot the bullet is 50 meters.

We can also look at this graphically. The height of origin will simply be when the x-value (in this case t-value) is 0. That means it is the point at which the graph intersects the y-axis, known as the y-intercept.

Standard form of a Parabola: y = ax^2 + bx + c

The y-intercept is the "c" value.

Given our equation: h = -16t^2 + 384t + 50

The c-value is 50. This proves that the y-intercept is 50.

<h3 /><h3>b)How high does the bullet travel vertically relative to the ground?</h3>

We want to find the highest point of the graph. To do that, we can find the vertex.

We can utilize the Axis of Symmetry (AOS) to find the Vertex.

First, find the AOS using the formula: AOS = -\frac{b}{2a}

  • a = -16
  • b = 384

Plug it into the formula:

  • AOS = -\frac{b}{2a}
  • AOS = -\frac{384}{2(-16)}
  • AOS = \frac{384}{32}
  • AOS = 12

Plug in 12 for t in the equation:

  • h = -16t^2 + 384t + 50
  • h = -16(12)^2 + 384(12) + 50
  • h = -2304 + 4608 + 50
  • h = 2304+50
  • h = 2354

Therefore, the highest point of the bullet is 2354 meters.

<h3>c)How long does it take the bullet to reach its greatest height?</h3>

We answered this in the last question. The t-value when h is at its highest is 12.

<h3>d)After how many seconds (round to nearest 100th) does the bullet hit the ground?</h3>

We have to solve for the values of t when h is 0 (when it touches the ground).

Set the equation to 0, and solve using the quadratic formula.

Quadratic formula: x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

  • x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}
  • x = \frac{-384\pm\sqrt{384^2 - 4(-16)(50)}}{2(-16)}
  • x = \frac{-384\pm\sqrt{147456 +3200}}{-32}
  • x = \frac{-384\pm\sqrt{150656}}{-32}
  • x = \frac{-384\pm388.14}{-32}
  • x = -\frac{4.14}{32}, x = \frac{772.14}{32}

We are only going to take the positive solution, as we can't have a negative time. The solution that doesn't work is called an extraneous solution.

  • x = \frac{772.14}{32}
  • x = 24.13

It takes approximately 24.13 seconds for the bullet to hit the ground.

What is the vertex of y=(x-2)-7
Zina [86]

Answer:

The vertex of this equation is (2, -7)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the vertex of this equation we start with the base form of the vertex form.

y = a(x - h) + k

With this equation (h, k) is the vertex. You can see that 2 lines up with h and -7 lines up with k. This shows that (2, -7) is the vertex.

In circle J with m/HJK 126 and HJ = 14 units, find the length of arc HK.
Tresset [83]

The length of arc HK is 30.8 units

<h3>What is the length of arc?</h3>

The length of the arc is defined as the distance between two points on the arc on the circumference.

Length of arc = θ/360 x 2πr

where, r is the radius of arc and θ is the angle formed by the arc at the center.

Given, circle J with ∠HJK = 126° and HJ = 14 units'

Plug, the values, we get

length of arc = 126°/360° x 2π x 14 units

length of arc = 30.8 units

Thus, the length of arc HK is 30.8 units.

I need help. Look at picture above

Let’s do 3x - 8 ≤ 23 first.

You need to rearrange this so that x is on its own.

+8 to both sides

3x ≤ 31

/3 on both sides

x ≤ 31/3

Then the second, -4x + 26 ≥ 6

-26 from both sides

-4x ≥ -20

/-4 on both sides

x ≥ 5

So x is greater than or equal to 5, which can also be written as 5 ≤ x

And for the first one, x is less than or equal to 31/3, which can still be written as x ≤ 31/3, so your final answer is:

5 ≤ x ≤ 31/3

Five milliliters of a children s medicine contains 400 mg of the drug amoxicillin. How many mg of amoxicillin does 25 ml contain
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

ok, so pretty much you can set up an equation for this. You can use fractions to find this out.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>\frac{5}{400} =\frac{25}{x}</h2><h2 /><h2>what you do is multiply 400*25 and then divide by 5. It should be 2000</h2>
