No, the answer is 1/2 (2/4). If you have a pie, cut 4 pieces, and take one piece, that is 1/4. If you cut a pie in two pieces and take one piece, you took 1/2 AND that piece you took would be bigger than the 1/4 piece.

when comparing fractions the denominators of the 2 fractions should be equal

the fractions being compared

$\frac{1}{4}$ the denominator is 4

$\frac{2}{4}$ the denominator is 4

therefore both fractions have the same denominator

then we can directly compare the numerators

higher the numerator value, higher the value of the fraction

so from 1/4 and 2/4 , the fraction with a greater numerator is 2/4

so the larger fraction is 2/4

A ball is thrown from a height of 38 meters with an initial downward velocity of 3 m/s

ANTONII [103]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The ball will hit the ground after $t=2.47s$

Since we are given a quadratic function, we can calculate the roots (zeroes) using the quadratic formula. We must take into consideration that we are talking about time, it means that we should only consider positive values.

So,

$\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac} }{2a}$

We are given the function:

$h=-5t^{2}-3t+38$

Where,

$a=-5\\b=-3\\c=38$

Then, substituting it into the quadratic equation, we have:

$\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac} }{2a}=\frac{-(-3)+-\sqrt{(-3)^{2} -4*-5*38} }{2*-5}\\\\\frac{-(-3)+-\sqrt{(-3)^{2} -4*-5*38} }{2*-5}=\frac{3+-\sqrt{9+760} }{-10}\\\\\frac{3+-\sqrt{9+760} }{-10}=\frac{3+-\sqrt{769} }{-10}=\frac{3+-27.731}{-10}\\\\t1=\frac{3+27.731}{-10}=-3.073s\\\\t2=\frac{3-27.731}{-10}=2.473s$
