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?

Round your answer(s) to the nearest hundredth.

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 polynomial function upper P left parenthesis x right parenthesis with rational coefficients has the given roots. Find two addi
mylen [45]

Given that a polynomial function P(x) has rational coefficients.

Two roots are already given which are i and 7+8i,

Now we have to find two additional roots of P(x)=0

Given roots i and 7+8i are complex roots and we know that complex roots always occur in conjugate pairs so that means conjugate of given roots will also be the roots.

conjugate of a+bi is given by a-bi

So using that logic, conjugate of i is i

also conjugate of 7+8i is 7-8i

Hence final answer for the remaining roots are (-i) and (7-8i).

Find the interest due on &1,400 at 9% for 270 days
Dimas [21]
Answer:
Interest = $93.205

Explanation:
Interest can be calculated as follows:
I = Prt
where:
I is the interest we want to canlculate
P is the principle amount = $1400
r is the interest rate in decimal = 9% = 0.09
t is the time in years = 270/365

Substitute with the givens in the above equation to get the value of the interest as follows:
I = 1400 * 0.09 * (270/365)
I = $93.205

Hope this helps :)
