B) $(2, 1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

−x + 3 = 2x - 3

-2x - 2x

______________

−3x + 3 = −3

- 3 - 3

____________

−3x = −6

___ ___

−3 −3

$x = 2$ [Plug this back into both equations above to get the y-coordinate of 1]; $1 = y$

Taya2010 [7]

Answer

Josh's textbook reached the ground first

Josh's textbook reached the ground first by a difference of $t=0.6482$

Step-by-step explanation:

Before we proceed let us re write correctly the height equation which in correct form reads:

$h(t)=-16t^2 +v_{o}t+s$ Eqn(1).

Where:

$h(t)$ : is the height range as a function of time

$v_{o}$ : is the initial velocity

$s$ : is the initial heightin feet and is given as 40 feet, thus Eqn(1). becomes:

$h(t)=-16t^2 + v_{o}t + 40$ Eqn(2).

Now let us use the given information and set up our equations for Ben and Josh.

Ben:

We know that $v_{o}=60ft/s$

Thus Eqn. (2) becomes:

$h(t)=-16t^2+60t+40$ Eqn.(3)

Josh:

We know that $v_{o}=48ft/s$

Thus Eqn. (2) becomes:

$h(t)=-16t^2+48t+40$ Eqn. (4).

Now since we want to find whose textbook reaches the ground first and by how many seconds we need to solve each equation (i.e. Eqns. (3) and (4)) at $h(t)=0$ . Now since both are quadratic equations we will solve one showing the full method which can be repeated for the other one.

Thus we have for Ben, Eqn. (3) gives:

$h(t)=0-16t^2+60t+40=0$

Using the quadratic expression to find the roots of the quadratic we have:

$t_{1,2}=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} \\t_{1,2}=\frac{-60+/-\sqrt{60^2-4(-16)(40)} }{2(-16)} \\t_{1,2}=\frac{-60+/-\sqrt{6160} }{-32} \\t_{1,2}=\frac{15+/-\sqrt{385} }{8}\\\\t_{1}=4.3276 sec\\t_{2}=-0.5776 sec$
