Let h =  the height (ft) from which the stone was dropped.

Assume that g = 32 ft/s² and ignore air resistance.

At time t seconds, the stone is 250 ft above ground. Therefore
(1/2)gt² = h - 250                 (1)

After another 3 seconds, the stone is 10 ft above ground. Therefore
(1/2)g(t+3)² = h - 10              (2)

Subtract (1) from (2).
(1/2)g[(t+3)² - t²] = 240
32(t+3)² = 480
(t+3)² = 15
t = 0.873 s

From (1), obtain
16*(0.873)² = h - 250
12.194 = h - 250
h = 262.194 ft

Answer: 262.2 ft (nearest tenth)

What is the vertex of the graph of f(x) = x2 + 10x - 9? A) (-5, -34) B) (-5, -9) C) (5, -9) D) (5, 66)
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

A) (-5, -34)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x^2 + 10x - 9

We complete the square to get the equation in vertex form

Take the coefficient of the x term and divide by 2 then square it.  We add it and then subtract it not to change the value of the equation

f(x) = x^2 + 10x +(10/2)^2 - (10/2)^2 - 9

f(x) = x^2 +10x +25 -25 -9

f(x) = (x^2 +10x +25) -34

The term in parentheses simplified to (x+10/2) ^2

     = (x+5)^2 -34

   = (x - -5)^2 -34

This is in the form (x-h)^2 +k

The vertex is (h,k)  h=-5 and k=-34

(-5,-34)

Which expression is equivalent to (x Superscript 27 Baseline y) Superscript one-third?
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

x Superscript 9 Baseline (RootIndex 3 StartRoot y EndRoot)

OR x^9/(∛y)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the indicinal equation

(x^27/y)^1/3

To find the corresponding expression, we will simplify the equation as shown:

(x^27/y)^⅓

= (x^27)^⅓/y⅓

= {x^(3×9)}^⅓/y⅓

= x^9/y⅓

= x^9/(∛y)

The right answer is x Superscript 9 Baseline (RootIndex 3 StartRoot y EndRoot)
