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

A museum requires a minimum number of chaperones proportional to the number of students on a field trip. The museum requires a m
Stells [14]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question:

A museum requires a minimum number of chaperones proportional to the number of students on a field trip. The museum requires a minimum of 3 chaperones for a field trip with 24 students. Which of the following could be combinations of values for the students and the minimum number of chaperones the museum requires? Choose 2 answers.

A. Students: 72

Minimum of chaperones: 9

B. Students: 16

Minimum of chaperones: 2

C. Students: 60

Minimum of chaperones: 6

D. Students: 45

Minimum of chaperones: 5

E. Students: 40

Minimum of chaperones: 8

Since the museum requires a minimum of 3 chaperones for a field trip with 24 students. This means that there will be 24/3 = 8 students per chaperone.

We then divide the number of students given in the question by the number of chaperone to know our answers. This. Will be:

Students: 72

Minimum of chaperones: 9

This will be: 72/9 = 8

Therefore, this is correct.

B. Students: 16

Minimum of chaperones: 2

This will be: 16/2 = 8

This is correct

C. Students: 60

Minimum of chaperones: 6

This will be: = 60/6 = 10.

Therefore, this is wrong

D. Students: 45

Minimum of chaperones: 5

This will be 45/5 = 9

Therefore, this is wrong.

E. Students: 40

Minimum of chaperones: 8

This will be: 40/5 = 8.

Therefore, this is wrong.

Therefore, options A and B are correct.

1. Why is it important to separate experimental groups by a random process?
rusak2 [61]

Randomization allows a sample or small groups with similar characteristics to determine a probability or to hypothesize an event, that is why this type of sample is important in an experiment, that is, to carry it out in a random way.

<h3> What is randomization?</h3>

Randomization allows a sample or small groups with similar characteristics to determine a probability or to hypothesize an event, that is why this type of sample is important in an experiment, that is, to carry it out in a random way.

If a crop at a certain time of year, for example in summer, is affected by a certain fungus, to know if it is really the time of year that affects this problem, random samples of the same crop with the same characteristics and put it to the test at another time of the year to see if the weather is really a risk factor in the spread of this fungus.
