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.

What is the minimum force required to prevent a ball weighing 22.6 lb from rolling down a ramp which is inclined at 39.0 degrees
Alona [7]
The correct answer is 14.2 lb which is choice D.

Let:

F = minimum force required to prevent ball from rolling down the ramp

The formula will be:

F = w * sin theta

F = w * sin (39 degrees)

F = 22.6 * sin (39) 
= 14.2 lb (this is rounded to the nearest tenth)

Determine if the equation y = 2(0.45)x represents exponential growth or decay
djverab [1.8K]
We have that
y = 2(0.45)^x

in this problem 
2-----------> is the Coefficient
0.45-------> is the Base
<span>x-----------> is the Exponent

we know that
</span><span>If the base  is less than 1 (but always greater than 0), the function will be exponential decay
</span>It is decay because as x values increase, y values decrease.
<span>0.45 < 1  and 0.45 > 0
therefore

the equation
</span>y = 2(0.45)^x
represents <span>exponential decay
</span>
the answer is
exponential decay<span>
