The height, in feet, after x seconds of an object launched straight up can be found by the function h(x)=−16x2+v0x+h0, where v0

is the initial velocity of the object and h0 is the initial height.
A ball is launched straight up into the air from a height of 16 ft with an initial velocity of 60 ft/s.

After how many seconds does the ball hit the ground?

If you knew calculus this problem would take like 2 seconds, but since we are working with maybe Algebra 2, you have to use the equation as it is and find where h(x) is 0, because that is the height of something when it hits the ground. Meaning, you have to factor this and solve it for x.  Here's your equation:
h(x) = -16x^2 + 60x +16.  Use the quadratic formula to find that the values for x are -.25 and 4 seconds.  Of course time cannot ever carry a negative value, so the answer is 4 seconds.  It takes the ball 4 seconds to hit the ground.

Find the straight time pay $7.60 per hour x 40 hours
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The straight time pay for $ 7.60 per hour and 40 work hours per week is $ 304.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let suppose that worker is suppose to work 8 hours per day, so that he must work 5 days weekly. The straight time is the suppose work time in a week, the pay is obtained after multiplying the hourly rate by the amount of hours per week. That is:

C = \left(\$\,7,60/hour\right)\cdot (40\,hours)

C = \$\,304

The straight time pay for $ 7.60 per hour and 40 work hours per week is $ 304.

For f(x)=3x+1 and g(x)=x^2-6, find (f o g)(x)
Eddi Din [679]
The answer is:  " <span>3x² − 17 " .
______________________________________</span>
f(x) = 3x + 1 ;
________________________________________________
If g(x) = x² − 6 ;

then:   (f o g)(x)  = f(x² − 6) = 3x + 1 ;

=  3(x² − 6) + 1  =  3x² − 18 + 1 ;

=  3x² − 17  .

By what factor would you need to multiply the first and second equations to eliminate x? By what factor would you need to multip
gavmur [86]
Equation 1 : x + y + z = 3.25
equation 2 : 12x + 2y + z = 9.50
equation 3 : 2x + 4y + 5z = ??

u would multiply equation 1 by -12.....take that result and add it to equation 2....this eliminates x.

u would multiply equation 3 by -6...take that result and add it to equation 2....this eliminates x
