The function h(t) = -4.9t2 + h0 gives the height (h), in meters, of an object t seconds after it falls from an initial height (h

0). The table shows data for a pebble that fell from a cliff.
TIME HEIGHT
1 55.1
2 40.4
3 15.9

To the nearest tenth of a second, how long after the pebble falls will it hit the ground?

It will hit the ground after 3.499 seconds.

To solve this you first have to find the value of h(0) in this equation. That is the height from which it was dropped.

You can input any of the points into the equation and solve for the missing part. You will get 60 for the height.

The use the quadratic formula to see that it reaches the ground after 3.499 seconds.

HELP What is the area of this figure?
Mademuasel [1]
The correct answer is:  [B]:  "40 yd² " .
_____________________________________________________
First, find the area of the triangle:

The formula of the area of a triangle, "A":

A = (1/2) * b * h ; 

in which:  " A = area (in units 'squared') ;  in our case, " yd² " ; 

                 " b = base length" = 6 yd.  

                 " h = perpendicular height" = "(4 yd + 4 yd)" = 8 yd.
___________________________________________________
→  A = (1/2) * b * h = (1/2) * (6 yd) * (8 yd) = (1/2) * (6) * (8) * (yd²) ; 
                                                                 
                                                                   =  " 24 yd² " .
___________________________________________________
Now, find the area, "A", of the square:

The formula for the area, "A" of a square:

   A = s² ;

in which:  "A = area (in "units squared") ; in our case, " yd² " ;
                 
                 "s = side length (since a 'square' has all FOUR (4) equal side lengths);

 A = s²  = (4 yd)² = 4² * yd² =  "16 yd² "
_________________________________________________
Now, we add the areas of BOTH the triangle AND the square:
_________________________________________________
        →  " 24 yd²  +  16 yd² " ; 

to get:  " 40 yd² " ;  which is:  Answer choice:  [B]:  " 40 yd² " .

4x +6y =0
PSYCHO15rus [73]
Here, x - 2y = 14
x = 14 + 2y

Now, substitute this value into first equation, 
4x + 6y = 0
4(14 + 2y) + 6y = 0
56 + 8y + 6y = 0
14y = -56
y = -56/14
y = -4

Substitute it into second equation, 
x = 14 + 2(-4)
x = 14 - 8
x = 6

In short, Your Answer would be: (6, -4)

Hope this helps!
