Remember that c is the initial height. Since we the rocket is in a 99-foot cliff, c=99. Also, we know that the velocity of the rocket is 122 ft/s; therefore v=122
Lets replace the values into the the vertical motion formula to get:
0=-16 t^{2} +122t+99
Notice that the rocket hits the ground at the bottom of the cliff, which means that the final height is 99-foot bellow its original position; therefore, our final height will be h=-99
Lets replace this into our equation to get:
-99=-16 t^{2} +122t+99
-16 t^{2} +122+198=0

Now we can apply the quadratic formula t= \frac{-b+or- \sqrt{ b^{2} -4ac} }{2a} where a=-16, b=122, and c=198
t= \frac{-122+or- \sqrt{ 122^{2}-(4)(-16)(198) } }{(2)(-16)}
t= \frac{-122+ \sqrt{27556} }{-32} or t= \frac{-122- \sqrt{27556} }{-32}
t= \frac{-122+166}{-32} or t= \frac{-122-166}{-32}
t= \frac{-11}{8} or t=9

Since the time can't be negative, we can conclude that the rocket hits the ground after 9 seconds.

Peter wants to test an assumption on the number of trees that tested positive for a particular infestation. He decides to focus
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

H0 : P ≤ 0.12

H1 : P > 0.12

Step-by-step explanation:

12% = 12/ 100 = 0.12

Given the population proportion, P = 0.12

The claim is the alternative hypothesis, H1 ; which is to test if more than 12% of trees have been infested.

Hence, the alternative hypothesis will be ;

H1 : P > 0.12

The null hypothesis which is the initial truth is always the opposite of the alternative hypothesis, Therefore, we write our null as ;

The null hypothesis ; H0 : P ≤ 0.12

Therefore, we have :

H0 : P ≤ 0.12

H1 : P > 0.12

The heights of a maple tree and a cherry tree have a ratio of 5:2. If the maple tree grew 20 cm and 20 cm was cut off the top of
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
Let x be the <span>heights of a maple tree and y be the height of the cherry tree.
We know: 
</span>\frac{x}{y} = \frac{5}{2}
<span>The new ratio is obtained like this:
</span>\frac{x+20}{y-20} = \frac{3}{1}.
From the above equation we get x= (y-20)\frac{3}{1} -20.
then \frac{ (y-20)\frac{3}{1} -20}{y} = \frac{5}{2}
Solving the above equation for y we get: y=160
So x=400
So the first tree is (400-160=240) more taller than cherry tree.

Describe the next figure in each pattern. Then draw the figure
madreJ [45]
The first figure has 3 angles, the second one has 4 angles, the third one has 5 angles so the next one will have 6 angles.

The violet figures inside stick with each side of the outer figures in the middle, so the last figure will look more less like in the attachment.

Find the common ratio for the following sequence .1, .01, .001
morpeh [17]

Answer:

0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

The <em>common ratio</em> of a sequence is the number you multiply one term to get the next one. Here, we multiply 0.1 by 0.1 to get 0.01, and 0.01 by 0.1 to get 0.001, so our common ratio is 0.1.
