The height attained by the arrow is modelled as,

h(t)=-16t^2-v_{\circ}t+h_{\circ}

Given that the initial height is 20 ft and the initial velocity is 179 ft per second,

\begin{gathered} v_{\circ}=179 \\ h_{\circ}=20 \end{gathered}

Substitute the values,

\begin{gathered} h(t)=-16t^2-(179)t+(20) \\ h(t)=-16t^2-179t+20 \end{gathered}

When the arrow hits the ground its height will become zero,

\begin{gathered} h(t)=0 \\ -16t^2-179t+20=0 \end{gathered}

Applying the quadratic formula,

\begin{gathered} t=\frac{-(-179)\pm\sqrt[]{(-179)^2-4(-16)(20)}}{2(-16)} \\ t=\frac{179\pm\sqrt[]{33321}}{-32} \\ t=\frac{179\pm182.54}{-32} \\ t=\frac{179+182.54}{-32},t=\frac{179-182.54}{-32} \\ t=-11.298,t=0.1106 \end{gathered}

Since time cannot be negative, we have to neglect the negative value.

Thus, it can be concluded that the arrow will hit the ground after 0.1106 seconds approximately.

At your school, the building is 20 feet tall, a tree's height is 252 inches, and the flagpole is 6 yards high. Which of the thre
timurjin [86]
First, all the heights have to be converted to similar units, say feet.

Therefore,
Building= 20 feet
Tree = 252*0.083333 = 21 feet
Flagpole = 6*3 = 18 feet

The tallest of the three is the tree and thus should cast the longest shadow. However, it should be noted that at exactly noon when the sun is overhead, all the three will have equal length of shadow (that is, 0 feet long).

How do I solve -12+1/2x=-6​
dedylja [7]

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

First, eliminate the fractional coefficient 1/2, by multiplying all three terms by 2:

-24 + x = -12

Adding 24 to both sides isolates x:  x = -12 + 24, or x = 12
