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

Associative property of (21)(7)(3x) ? <br> PLEASE HELPPPP <br> 40 PTS!!!!
sdas [7]
Ehh, now it's letting me answer.

So the associative property is basically as long as it's addition or multiplication,  you can move around the groupings and it will still be the same.

For example, you can say:(21 * 7) (3x)  instead of (21)(7)(3x)

And it would be equal to the old version.

(To answer your other question, the commutative property is you can move around all the parts of the equation as long as it's addition or multiplication.)

So basically, it would be the first one you sent me.

10x + .0085x = 280000
GaryK [48]

Answer:

x = 27976.22021

Step-by-step explanation:

10x + .0085x = 280000

Combine like terms

10.0085x = 280000

Divide by 10.0085 on each side

10.0085x /10.0085= 280000/10.0085

x = 27976.22021
