Answer:

7 & 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x

2nd number = 8 less than 3 times the other

2nd number = 3x - 8

Their sum = 20

X + 3x - 8 = 20

4x -8 = 20

Collect like terms

4x = 20+8

4x = 28

Divide both sides by 4

4x/4 = 28/4

X = 7

First number = 7

2nd number = 3x - 8

= 3(7) - 8

= 21 -8

= 13.

Therefore the numbers are 7 and 13

20. A ball is dropped from a height of a little over 5 feet, and the height is measured at small intervals. The table below show

nekit [7.7K]

Step 1:

a) Write the quadratic model

a = -15.64

b = -1.24

c = 5.23

$P(t)=-15.64t^2\text{ - 1.24t + 5.2}3$

b) t = 0.30

$\begin{gathered} P(t)=-15.64t^2\text{ - 1.24t + 5.2}3 \\ =\text{ -15.64 }\times0.3^2\text{ - 1.24}\times\text{ 0.3 + 5.2}3 \\ =\text{ -1.4076 - 0.372 + }5.23 \\ =\text{ 3.45} \end{gathered}$

c) t = 0.52 seconds

$\begin{gathered} p(t)=-15.64t^2\text{ - 1.23t + 5.23} \\ =\text{ -15.64}\times0.52^2\text{ - 1.23}\times0.52\text{ + 5.23} \\ =\text{ -4.23 - 0.64 + 5.23} \\ =\text{ 0.36} \end{gathered}$

d) 0.30 is more likely to be relaible.

$\begin{gathered} p(t)\text{ = 1} \\ p(t)=-15.64t^2\text{ - 1.23t + 5.23} \\ 1=-15.64t^2\text{ - 1.23t + 5.23} \\ -15.64t^2\text{ - 1.23t + 4.23 = 0} \\ t\text{ = 0.48222} \\ \text{t = 0.48 seconds} \end{gathered}$
