A rocket is launched from atop a 105-foot cliff with an initial velocity of 156 ft/s. The height of the rocket above the ground

at time t is given by h = –16t2 + 156t + 105. When will the rocket hit the ground after it is launched? Round to the nearest tenth of a second.

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>

In the following exercises, write the first five terms of the sequence whose general term is given.
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

2, 9 , 16 , 23 , 30 ......

Step-by-step explanation:

a_n = 7n - 5

       a_1 = 7*1 - 5  = 7-5 = 2\\\\a_2 = 7*2 - 5 = 14 - 5 = 9\\\\a_3 = 7*3 - 5 = 21 - 5 = 16\\\\a_4= 7*4 - 5 = 28 - 5 = 23\\\\a_5= 7*5 - 5 = 35 - 5 = 30

Please answer number 2
viva [34]
They aren't necessarily equal because, for example, 3/2 = 1 remainder 1 and 5/4 = 1 remainder 1 aren't equal because it takes 2 x 1 = 2 + 1 = 3 while 4 x 1 = 4 + 1 = 5. They are the same quotient and remainer, except they aren't used to check if it multiplys back to the same divended.

∠WXY and ∠ZXY are adjacent angles. What equation must always be TRUE? m∠WXY=m∠ZXY
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

m∠WXY+m∠ZXY=m∠WXZ

Step-by-step explanation:

You don't know the angles to be congruent (equal measures), complementary (measures add to 90 deg), or supplementary (measures add to 180 deg); all you know is that they are adjacent, so the sum of the measures of the two smaller angles equals the measure of the larger outer angle.

Answer: m∠WXY+m∠ZXY=m∠WXZ
