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

At his last track meet, Eli ran the 400-meter dash in 54 seconds. His friend Kimberly bet him that he couldn't run a whole kilom
Trava [24]

Answer:

Eli has to run for 2.25 minutes at this pace to win the bet.

Step-by-step explanation:

At his last track meet, Eli ran the 400-meter dash in 54 seconds.

So, the speed of Eli's run is \frac{400}{54} \times 60 = 444.44 meters per minute.

Now, if Eli is determined to run a whole kilometer with the same speed, then it will take Eli to run 1 kilometer within \frac{1000}{444.44} = 2.25 minutes.

Hence, Eli has to run for 2.25 minutes at this pace to win the bet. (Answer)

choli [55]
10% of 640 is 64. So 640-64= 576 fans. Then after the five touchdowns 26% of 576 is 144 . So 576-144= 432 fans left

Cos(0.5)+cos(0.5+2(3.14159265))+cos(0.5+4(3.14159265))
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

2.63274768567

Step-by-step explanation:

First, note that 3.1415... is p, so 2(3.1415...) is 2pi and 4(3.1415...) is 4pi.

2pi and 4pi are full rotations, which will lead to the same cosine (i.e. cos(x) = cos (x+2pi) = cos(x+4pi) = ... = cos (x+2k*pi)).

So, the expression equals cos0.5 + cos 0.5 + cos0.5 = 3cos0.5 = 3(0.87758256189) = 2.63274768567

I hope this helps! :)

Find the greatest common factor: 24y^8 + 6y^6
Marrrta [24]

Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF)

<u>GCF = 6y^6</u>

Factor out the GCF. (Write the GCF first. Then, in parenthesis divide each term by the GCF.)

6y^6(24y^8/6y^6 + 6y^6/6y^6)

Simplify each term in parenthesis

<u>6y^6(4y^2 + 1)</u>
