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

Solve for u. 31.25 = u/5
ipn [44]

Answer:

u = 156.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

31.25 = u/5

Step 2: Solve for <em>u</em>

  1. Multiply both sides by 5: 156.25 = u
  2. Rewrite: u = 156.25

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in u to verify it's a solution.</em>

31.25 = 156.25/5

31.25 = 31.25

What is the value of pie and how can I round it to the nearest tenth
Orlov [11]

The Value of Pi is actually an infinite number and cannot be calculated. It is not a real number. Usually many just shorten Pi to the decimal 3.14, which it is most commonly used as since there is no exact decimal of Pi.
