Answer:
First option
Step-by-step explanation:
There's no value of x which makes the function undefined .
So x can take any real value
i.e. -infinity < x < +infinity
The equation gives the height of the ball. That is, h is the height of the ball. t is the time. Since we are looking for the time at which the height is 8 (h=8), we need to set the equation equal to 8 and solve for t. We do this as follows:




This is a quadratic equation and as it is set equal to 0 we can solve it using the quadratic formula. That formula is:

You might recall seeing this as "x=..." but since our equation is in terms of t we use "t-=..."
In order to use the formula we need to identify a, b and c.
a = the coefficient (number in front of)

= 16.
b = the coefficient of t = -60
c = the constant (the number that is by itself) = 7
Substituting these into the quadratic formula gives us:



As we have "plus minus" (this is usually written in symbols with a plus sign over a minus sign) we split the equation in two and obtain:

and

So the height is 8 feet at t = 3.63 and t=.12
It should make sense that there are two times. The ball goes up, reaches it's highest height and then comes back down. As such the height will be 8 at some point on the way up and also at some point on the way down.
Answer: old McDonald has 54 chickens and 2 cows.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of chickens that old McDonald have.
Let y represent the number of cows that old McDonald have.
He counted 56 heads. A chicken and a cow has one head each. It means that
x + y = 56
He counted 116 legs. A chicken has 2 legs and a cow has 4 legs. It means that
2x + 4y = 116 - - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 56 - y into equation 1, it becomes
2(56 - y) + 4y = 116
112 - 2y + 4y = 116
- 2y + 4y = 116 - 112
2y = 4
y = 4/2 = 2
x = 56 - y = 56 - 2
x = 54
Answer:
1/2 or 0.5 (same value, different form)
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok...since I can't actually graph it, we can make a table out of it....
x y
7 -1
9 0
From -1 to 0, we add 1 (this is for the y section)
From 7 to 9, we add 2 (this is for the x section)
Now all we have to do is divide the y with the x
y/x = 1/2
The slope will be 1/2 (fraction form) 0.5 (decimal form)
Hope this helped!
Answer:
1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
this is because 24 divided by 16 equals 1.5
have a nice day!
