marin [14]

The nut lands first on gorund

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

The squirrel climbs down the tree in 2 seconds

Given that,

A squirrel is 24 feet up in a tree and tosses a nut out of the tree with an initial velocity of 8 feet per second

<em><u>The nuts height, h, at time t seconds can be represented by the equation:</u></em>

h(t) = -16t^2 + 8t+24

-16t^2 + 8t+24 = 0\\\\-2t^2 + t + 3 = 0\\\\2t^2 - t-3=0\\\\Split\ the\ middle\ term\\\\2t^2 + 2t-3t -  3 = 0\\\\Break\ the\ expression\ into\ groups\\\\(2t^2 + 2t) -(3t+3) = 0\\\\2t(t+1) -3(t+1) = 0\\\\(t+1)(2t-3) = 0\\\\Therefore,\\\\t + 1 = 0\\\\t = -1\\\\2t-3=0\\\\2t = 3\\\\t = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5

time cannot be negative, so ignore t = -1

Thus the nut takes 1.5 seconds to reach ground

From given,

The squirrel climbs down the tree in 2 seconds

Therefore, the nut lands first on gorund

Need help on geometry #3
Tresset [83]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ PQS + ∠SQR = ∠ PQR , substitute values

13x + 4 + 10x - 1 = 141 , that is

23x + 3 = 141 (subtract 3 from both sides )

23x = 138 ( divide both sides by 23 )

x = 6

Thus

∠ PQS = 13x + 4 = 13(6) + 4 = 78 + 4 = 82°

∠ SQR = 10x - 1 = 10(6) - 1 = 60 - 1 = 59°
