An object launched vertically from a point that is 37.5 feet above ground level with an initial velocity of 48.6 feet per second

can be represented by the equation h=−16t^2+48.6t+37.5, where h is the height of the object and t is the time after the object is launched. How long does it take the object to hit the ground?

Answer: 3.675 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, when the object hits the ground, h=0:

h=−16t^2+48.6t+37.5

0=−16t^2+48.6t+37.5

We have to apply the quadratic formula:  

For: ax2+ bx + c  

x =[ -b ± √b²-4ac] /2a  

Replacing with the values given:  

a=-16 ; b=48.6; c=37.5

x =[ -(48.6) ± √(-48.6)²-4(-16)37.5] /2(-16)  

x = [ -48.6 ± √ 4,761.96] /-32

x = [ -48.6 ± 69] /-32

Positive:  

x = [ -48.6 + 69] /-32 = -0.6375

Negative:  

x = [ -48.6 - 69] /-32 = 3.675 seconds (seconds can't be negative)

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Answer:

<h3>\boxed{ \boxed{ \bold{ {x}^{2}  + 4x - 21}}}</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

\sf{(x - 3)(x + 7)}

Use the distributive property to multiply each term of the first binomial by each term of the second binomial.

⇒\sf{x(x  + 7) - 3(x + 7)}

⇒\sf{ {x}^{2}  + 7x - 3x  - 21}

Collect like terms

⇒\sf{ {x}^{2}  + 4x - 21}

Hope I helped!

Best regards!!

Arada [10]

Answer: 52.7856cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference of a circle = 2πr

Note that radius = Diameter / 2 = 16.8/2 = 8.4cm

Circumference = 2πr

= 2 × 3.142 × 8.4

= 52.7856cm

Therefore, the circumference of the circle is 52.7856cm
