A ball is thrown in the air from a ledge. Its height in feet is represented by  f(x) = –16(x^2 – 5x – 6), where x is the number

of seconds since the ball has been thrown. The height of the ball is 0 feet when it hits the ground. How many seconds does it take the ball to reach the ground? As

I believe your answer is 6 seconds.

Because the height of the ball = -16(x² - 5x - 6), when the height of the ball is 0, which is when it is on the ground, we can set -16(x² - 5x - 6) equal to 0. This also allows us to divide by -16, and then we can solve the equation:

x² - 5x - 6 = 0
(x - 6)(x + 1) = 0

So x = 6 or x = -1, and because a quantity of time cannot be negative, x would have to be 6, which means it takes 6 seconds for the ball to reach 0 feet.

I hope this helps!

harkovskaia [24]

122° and angle 1 are alternate interior angles and hence they are equal.

m1 = 122°

122° + angle 2 = 180° [sum of co interior angles is 180°]

angle 2 = 180° - 122°

m2 = 58°

Determine the equation of the linear graph that passes through (-2,3) and (4,6). State your answer in the
Lena [83]

The linear equation is y = 4 + 0.5x

<h3>How to determine the equation?</h3>

The points are given as: (-2,3) and (4,6)

The equation is then calculated using:

y = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1} *(x - x_1) + y_1

Substitute the known values

y = \frac{6-3}{4+2} *(x+2) + 3

Evaluate

y = 0.5 *(x+2) + 3

Expand

y = 0.5x + 1 + 3

Evaluate the sum

y = 0.5x + 4

Rewrite as:

y = 4 + 0.5x

Hence, the equation is y = 4 + 0.5x

There are 8 cups of pasta in 22 servings. Write a proportion that gives the number x of cups of pasta in 3 servings.
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Cups: servings

8 : 22  :: x : 3

Product of means = product of extremes

22*x = 3*8

   x = \dfrac{3*8}{22}=\dfrac{3*4}{11}=\dfrac{12}{11}=1\dfrac{1}{11}
