A stranded soldier shoots a signal flare into the air to attract the attention of a nearby plane. The flare has an initial veloc

ity of 1500 feet per second. Its height is defined by the quadratic function below. Assume that the flare is fired from ground level. h=ViT-16t^2
1. When will the fare reach 35,156.25 feet?? 
2.If the plane is flying at a height of 30,000 feet, a speed of 880 feet per second and is 50,000 feet fro the fare when it is fired, will the flare hit it? If so, tell when this will happen. If not, tell when the fare reaches the planes altitude.

<span>
1 . when will the fare reach that height:</span>

<span>The ascending and descending time are equal but let's show it: set the h = 0 </span>

<span>
1500t - 16t^2 = 0 => solve the quadratic </span>

<span>
t = 0 => reject </span>

<span>
t = 375/4 seconds => period to hit the ground, notice that this is twice the time to reach max h. </span>

 

2. If the plane … solution:

<span>d = vt </span>

<span>
t = d/v </span>

<span>
= 50,000/880 </span>

<span>
It is approximately 56.8 sec to reach the flare but the flare reached max h at 375/8 ≈ 46.9 sec, so it won't hit the plane going up, but will it hit the plane on its way down from 35,156.25 ft.</span>

X-y=16 7x+2y=13 solving system of Equations by substitution
matrenka [14]

Answer:

The answer is "x= -\frac{19}{5} \ and \ y= - \frac{99}{5}"

Explanation:

\to x-y=16..........(a) \\\\ \to 7x+2y=13.........(b)\\

In equation (a) multiply by 2 then subtract from the equation (b):

7x+2y=13\\\\2x-2y=32\\\\- \  -\ =  -\ \\\\5x = -19 \\\\x= -\frac{19}{5}

put the value of x in equation (a):

-\frac{19}{5} -y=16\\\\ -y=16 +\frac{19}{5}\\\\-y=  \frac{80+19}{5}\\\\y= -\frac{99}{5}

stealth61 [152]
Yes that's true but everything should be in a balanced diet because even in a vegetarian diet there are products made of milk such as butter,ghee,cheese and many more so if we consume these types of foods also it is very harmful for our health whereas in a non-vegetarian diet fish is very good for health and consuming little red meat is also good so in both there are good&bad effects.
