[9.06] A firecracker shoots up from a hill 150 feet high with an initial speed of 110 feet per second. Using the formula H(t) =

−16t2 + vt + s, approximately how long will it take the firecracker to hit the ground?

H(t) = -16t² + vt + s. Here, v = 110 ft/s and s =150 ft, so we can write h(t) = -16t² + 110t + 150. Take the first derivative, giving h'(t) = -32t + 110. When h'(t) = 0, the height is at a maximum: -32t + 110 = 0, so 32t = 110, so t = 3.4375 s. 
At this time, the firecracker is -16(3.4375)² + 110(3.4375) + 150 = 339 ft high (approximately). 
The total fall (to the bottom of the hill) is then 339 + 150 = 489 ft. Put this into the height equation, remembering: (a) that at the beginning of its fall it has zero speed, and (b) we can set the starting point as 0 ft. This makes the landing point be at -489 ft, since we take the positive direction to be upward. h(t) = -16t² + vt + s becomes -489 = -16t² + 0t + 0, so t² = 489/16, so t = √(489/16) = 5.5 s (approximately). Add this time of falling to the time of rising to max height: 5.5 + 3.4 = 8.9 = 9 s (approximately),

H(t) = -16t^2 + vt + s
0 = -16t^2 + 110t + 150
8t^2 - 55t - 75 = 0
t = 8.04 seconds.

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer: After 7 years the number of birds of species A and B are same. and the number of birds during that year will be 140.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Sharon is conducting research on two species of birds at a bird sanctuary.

The number of birds of species A is represented by the equation below,where S represents the number of birds, x years after beginning her research.

S=2^x+12

The number of birds of species B is represented by the equation below,where S represents the number of birds, x years after beginning her research.

S=15x+35

To plot the above function, first find points by which they are passing.

For species A, At x=0 , S=1+12=13

At x=2 , S=2+12=14

Similarly find more points and plot curve on graph.

For species A, At x=0 , S=0+35=35

At x=2 , S=15+35=50

Plot a line with the help of these two points.

Now, from the graph the intersection of curve (for A) and line (for B) is at (7,140) which tells that After 7 years the number of birds of species A and B are same. and the number of birds during that year will be 140.

Which graph shows the solution set for |x - 3| < 4?
ikadub [295]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

|x - 3| < 4

To remove the absolute values, we need to make two inequalities, one positive and one negative

x-3 < 4     and     x-3 > -4

Add 3 to each side

x-3+3<4+3     and  x-3+3 > -4+3

x<7        and        x >-1

-1 <x <7

Solve each word problem using a system of equations. Use substitution or elimination.
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 3y = 24.....multiply by -1

5x + 3y = 36

------------------

-x - 3y = -24 (result of multiplying by -1)

5x + 3y = 36

------------------add

4x = 12

x = 12/4

x = 3 <=======

x + 3y = 24

3 + 3y = 24

3y = 24 - 3

3y = 21

y = 21/3

y = 7 <========
