A ball is thrown from a height of 139 feet with an initial downward velocity of 15 ft/s. The ball's height h (in feet) after t s

econds is given by the following.
h=139-15t-16t^2

How long after the ball is thrown does it hit the ground?

Answer:

t = 2.52 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

h=139-15t-16t^2

We want to know when the ball hits the ground

That would be when h=0

0 = 139-15t-16t^2

We can use the quadratic formula to find t

t = -b ± sqrt(b^2-4ac)

       ----------------------

          2a

where a = -16   b = -15  and c = 139

t = -(-15) ± sqrt((-15)^2-4(-16)139)

       ----------------------

          2(-16)

t = (15) ± sqrt(225+8896)

       ----------------------

          -32

t = (15) ± sqrt(9121)

       ----------------------

          -32

t = 15+ sqrt(9121)                       t = 15- sqrt(9121)

     --------------------   or                    -------------------  

           -32                                               -32

        -3.453247707        or              2.515747707

Since time cannot be negative

 2.515747707

Round to the nearest hundredth

t = 2.52 seconds

choose the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the y axis and passes through the point (5,-2)​
kondaur [170]

Answer:

y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The line that is perpendicular to y-axis will be a horizontal line so it's slope is 0 => y = 0x + b or y = b

Using (5,-2) => -2 = b => b = -2

then y = -2

How do I do it and show my work along with it?
Rudiy27
Be kind and say please,that is being rude when you don't say it. Well, how much times does 6 go into 34? 5 times right. So then put 30 under the 34. You get 4. So then bring down the 5. How much times does 6 go into 45. 7 right. So then put 42 under 45. You get 3. Now add a decimal point after the 5 and after the 7. Add zero after the 5 . Bring down the zero. How much times does 6 go into 30? 5 times, so you put 30 under 30 and get zero. If you have any more questions,please leave them below in the comments.

A 64-ounce container of sports juice costs $6.50. A 48-ounce container of the same juice costs $4.25. Which juice container is t
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

The juice container that is a better buy is the 48 ounce container because the price per ounce is lower.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the juice container that is the better buy, you have to find the one that has a lower cost per ounce by dividing the price of each juice container by the number of ounces it has:

64-ounce container: 6.50/64=0.10

48-ounce container: 4.25/48=0.08

According to this, the answer is that the juice container that is a better buy is the 48 ounce container because the price per ounce is lower.
