Set the quadratic = to 0 and solve for time, t:

-16t^2 - 8t + 20 = 0

Reduce this to:

-4t^2 - 2t + 5 = 0

 Here a= -4, b= -2 and c =5.  Then,

       2 plus or minus sqrt( 4-4(-4)(5) )
t = ---------------------------------------------
                            -8
        2 plus or minus sqrt(84)
  = ------------------------------------
                          -8

Finish evaluating this.  If either outcome is negative, discard it.
The result will be the number of seconds required for the ball to hit the grnd.

How is the graph of y=^3√0.5x related to its parent function,y=^3√x ? A.It is horizontally stretched by a factor of 0.5 B. It is
uranmaximum [27]
For this case we have the following function:
 y = ^ 3√x
 Applying the following transformation we have:
 Expansions and horizontal compressions
 The graph of y = f (bx):
 If 0 <b <1, the graph of y = f (x) expands horizontally by the factor of 1 / b.
 y = ^ 3√0.5x
 Answer:
 A.It is horizontally stretched by a factor of 1 / 0.5

N/15=21/35 Solve for the missing value in the proportion.
Serhud [2]

Answer:

n=9

Step-by-step explanation:

21/35 has a gcf of 7. so reduce to 3/5

move 3/5 to the left side to get

n/15=-3/5=0

solve as a linear equation.

n/15=-3/5=0 is equivalent to .67*n-0.6=0

which is equal to n=-9
