We want to know the time, <em>t</em>, it takes the ball to reach a height (<em>y</em>) of 0.
0=-16t^2+24t
We can factor out the GCF first.  The largest number that will divide evenly into 16 and 24 is 8.  Also, both terms have a <em>t</em>, so we can factor that out as well:
0=8t(-2t+3) (-16/8 = -2 and 24/8 = 3)
Using the zero product property, we know that either 8t=0 or -2t+3=0.  Solving the first equation, we would divide both sides by 8:
8t/8=0/8
t=0
This is at 0 seconds, before the ball is in the air at all.
Solving the second equation, we start by subtracting 3 from both sides:
-2t+3-3=0-3
-2t=-3
Now we divide both sides by -2
-2t/-2=-3/-2
t=1.5
After 1.5 seconds, the ball will hit the ground again.

A __________________________of a set is those element within the universal set but not included in that set.
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

complement

Step-by-step explanation:

The complement of a set is the set in the universal set that is not included in that set

The universal set contains all elements

For example

U = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, }

A = {1, 3, 6}

(complement of A) A' = {2, 4, 5}

The length of a rectangle is 5 inches more than its width, x. The area of a rectangle can be represented by the equation x2 + 5x
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

  width: 15 inches; length: 20 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation tells you the product of width (x) and length (x+5) is 300, so you're looking for factors of 300 that differ by 5.

  300 = 1·300 = 2·150 = 3·100 = 4·75 = 5·60 = 6·50 = 10·30 = 12·25 = 15·20

The factors in the last pair on this list differ by 5, so we have ...

  • width = 15 inches
  • length = 20 inches

If X={1,2,3,4} and Y={1,4,9,16,20} then find all ordered pairs such that Y is square of X.
Alona [7]

Answer:

  (1, 1), (2, 4), (3, 9), (4, 16)

Step-by-step explanation:

You recognize that, of the numbers in Y, 20 is not a square. You also recognize that the remaining values of Y correspond to the squares of the values of X:

  (x, x^2) = {(1, 1), (2, 4), (3, 9), (4, 16)}
