Answer:

The correct option is 4. The rocket will hit the ground after 10.4 s.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

h=-16t^2+156t+105

Where, h is height of the rocket above the ground at time t.

The rocket will hit the ground, when h=0.

0=-16t^2+156t+105

Using quadratic formula

t=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

t=\frac{-156\pm \sqrt{(156^2-4(-16)(105)}}{2(-16)}

t=-0.632,10.382

The time can  not negative, therefore after 10.382 second the rocket will hit the ground.

10.382\approx 10.4

Therefore the correct option is 4. The rocket will hit the ground after 10.4 s.

H = –16t2 + 156t + 105, when t = t', the time where the rocket hit the ground after it is launched, so 105= –16t'2 + 156t' + 105, so -16t'2 + 156t' = 0 implies t' =0 or -16t'+ 156= 0, equivalent to t'=9.75, so the answer is 
b) <span>9.8 s</span>

What is the distance between (1,-5) and (-3,6)​
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

\large\boxed{\sqrt{137}\approx11.7}

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a distance between two points:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

We have two points (1, -5) and (-3, 6). substitute:

d=\sqrt{(-3-1)^2+(6-(-5))^2}=\sqrt{(-4)^2+11^2}=\sqrt{16+121}=\sqrt{137}

If 3/4 of an inch of rain fell in 1/2 hour, explain how to get the unit rate
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Search to find the detailed rainfall collections if you want more detailed rainfall intensity data. If all available is monthly average in mm, take the monthly average and divide by number of hours in that month. So if you had 300 mm in April, take 360 mm/(30 days * 24 hours) = 0.5 mm/hour average monthly intensity. so that's it

netineya [11]

Answer:

14/20

Explanation:

Sasha tried to get a marble 20 times. 14 of those times she got a yellow marble.

The experimental probability, which is the probability of choosing a yellow marble when Sasha actually tries choosing marbles from the bag.

The theoretical probability is based on the chance that Sasha will get a yellow marble, 7/70, is from the amount of marbles in the bag of yellow colour.
