A ball is thrown directly up in the air from a height of 5 feet with an initial velocity of 60 ft/s. Ignoring air resistance, ho

w long until the ball hits the ground? Use the formula where h is the height of the ball in feet and t is the time in seconds since it is thrown. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer:

3.8 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation

h= -16t^2 + 60t + 5

When the ball hits the ground then height is 0

So we replace h with 0 and solve for t

0= -16t^2 + 60t + 5

a= -16 , b= 60 and c= 5

Apply quadratic formula to solve for t

t=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

=\frac{-60+\sqrt{60^2-4\left(-16\right)\cdot \:5}}{2\left(-16\right)}[/tex[tex]=\frac{-60+-\sqrt{3920}}{-32}

=\frac{-60+-28\sqrt{5}}{-32}

=\frac{4(-15+-7\sqrt{5})}{-32}

=\frac{(-15+-7\sqrt{5})}{-8}

Now make two fractions and solve for x

t= -\frac{7\sqrt{5}-15}{8}=-0.0815

t= \frac{7\sqrt{5}+15}{8}=3.83

So answer is 3.8 seconds

There are nine water bottles in a fridge. Three full boxes are added. Two more boxes are added, both of which have one fewer bot
Degger [83]

The number of bottles in a full box is 12.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Suppose, the number of bottles in a full box is  x

So, the number of bottles in <u>three</u> full boxes =3x

Now, two more boxes are added, both of which have <u>one fewer bottle than the other three</u>. So, the number of bottles in these two boxes = 2(x-1)

As there were 9 bottles initially and now there are 67 bottles in the fridge, <em><u>so the equation will be</u></em>....

9+3x+2(x-1)=67\\ \\ 9+3x+2x-2=67\\ \\ 5x+7=67\\ \\ 5x=67-7\\ \\ 5x=60\\ \\ x=\frac{60}{5}=12

Thus, the number of bottles in a full box is 12.

What is the measure of 3?
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

∠3 = 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since g and h are parallel lines then

∠1 and ∠2 are same side interior angles and are supplementary, hence

4x + 36 +3x - 3 = 180

7x + 33 = 180 ( subtract 33 from both sides )

7x = 147 ( divide both sides by 7 )

x = 21

Thus ∠2 = (3 × 21) - 3 = 63 - 3 = 60°

∠ 2 and ∠3 are alternate angles and congruent, hence

∠3 = 60°
