H(t)=-16t^2+1221 is the function for the height as a function of time.  It will hit the ground when h=0 so:

-16t^2+1221=0

16t^2-1221=0

16t^2=1221

t^2=1221/16

t=√(1221/16) seconds

t≈8.74 seconds  (to nearest hundredth of a second)

S=16t^2
1221=16t^2
1221/16=t^2
square root of 76.3=t
t=8.7

-8, 1, 10...<br> n<br> What is a formula for the ninth term of the given sequence
krek1111 [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a9 = -8 +9(9 -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence has a common difference of 1-(-8) = 10-1 = 9, and a first term of -8. The formula for the n-th term of such an arithmetic sequence is ...

  an = a1 +d(n -1) . . . . . first term a1, common difference d

For the parameter of this sequence, a1=-8 and d=9, the n-th term is ...

  an = -8 +9(n -1) . . . . formula for the n-th term

__

Then the formula for the 9th term is ...

  a9 = -8 +9(9 -1)

Zaheer, a boy of height 1.5m was watching the entire programme. Initially he observed the top of the flag pole at an angle of el
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

15.2 m

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to draw a figure. Start by drawing a horizontal segment approximately 10 cm long; that is the ground. Label the left end point A and the right endpoint B. On the right endpoint, B, go up a short 1 cm vertically. That is 1.5 m, the height of Zaheer. Label that point C. Now from that point draw a horizontal line that ends up above point A. Label that point D. Now go back to point C. Draw a segment up to the left at a 30 deg angle with CD. End the segment vertically above point D. Label that point E. That is the top of the flagpole. Draw a vertical segment down from point E through point D ending at point A. Segment AE is the flagpole. Go back to point C. Move 3 cm to the left on segment CD, and draw a point there and label it F. That is where Zaheer moved to. Now connect point F to point E. That is a 45-deg elevation to point E, the top of the flagpole.

m<EFD = 45 deg

m<EFC = 135 deg

m<FEC = 15 deg

m<ECD = 30 deg

We now use the law of sines to find EC

(sin 15)/10 = (sin 135)/EC

EC = 27.32

Because of the 30-60-90 triangle, ED = EC/2

ED = 13.66

Now we add the height of Zaheer to find AE.

13.66 + 1.5 = 15.16

Answer: 15.2 m
