Answer:

a)1/2^4

Step-by-step explanation:

First solve 2^-4.

Use negative power rule: x^-a = 1/xa

⇒ 1/2^4

Simplify 2^4 to 16

⇒ 1/16

Just evaluate the other options.

The first one is correct.

Here's why:

⇒ Simplify 2^4 to 16.

⇒ 1/16

They have the same steps, therefore making Option A correct.

Note: This is the longer way, there is a easier way of dealing with these types of problems. Example: Without using a calculator problem.

The function h defined by h(t)=(49 + 4.9t)(10 - t) models the height, in meters, of an object t seconds after it is dropped from

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's FOIL this out and get it into standard quadratic format:

$h(t)=-4.9t^2+490$ . The lack of a linear term in the middle means therewas no upwards velocity, consistent with the object being dropped straight down as opposed to thrown up in the air tand then falling in a parabolic path. The -4.9t² represents the acceleration due to gravity, and the 490 represents the height from which the object was dropped. The constant in a quadratic that is modeling parabolic motion always represents the height from which the object was dropped (or launched). That's how you know.
