Step-by-step explanation:
A ball is thrown straight up from a rooftop 320 feet high. The formula below describes the ball's height above the ground, h, in feet, t seconds after it was thrown. The ball misses the rooftop on its way down and eventually strikes the ground. How long will it take for the ball to hit the ground? Use this information to provide tick marks with appropriate numbers along the horizontal axis in the figure shown.
h=-16t^2+16t+320
<h3>Answer:</h3>
(x, y) ≈ (1.49021612010, 1.22074408461)
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
This is best solved graphically or by some other machine method. The approximate solution (x=1.49, y=1.221) can be iterated by any of several approaches to refine the values to the ones given above. The values above were obtained using Newton's method iteration.
_____
Setting the y-values equal and squaring both sides of the equation gives ...
... √x = x² -1
... x = (x² -1)² = x⁴ -2x² +1 . . . . . square both sides
... x⁴ -2x² -x +1 = 0 . . . . . polynomial equation in standard form.
By Descarte's rule of signs, we know there are two positive real roots to this equation. From the graph, we know the other two roots are complex. The second positive real root is extraneous, corresponding to the negative branch of the square root function.
Answer:
0.3 = 3/10 = 30%
Step-by-step explanation:
The reading of the number as "three tenths" tells you how to write the fraction:
0.3 = 3/10
You can also express the same value in hundredths. Of course /100 is just a long way to write %, so ...
0.3 = 0.30 = 30/100 = 30%
0.3 = 3/10 = 30%
Answer:
x=sqrt(y+2), -sqrt(y+2)
Step-by-step explanation:
y=x^2-2
x^2=y+2
x=sqrt(y+2), -sqrt(y+2)
Answer:
Linda: 3 ; Laura: 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that Linda + Laura's age is 18, and that Linda is 12 years younger than her sister.
Let "Linda" = x , "Laura" = y:
x + y = 18
x = y - 12
First, plug in y - 12 for x in the first equation:
(y - 12) + y = 18
Simplify.
2y - 12 = 18
Isolate the variable (y). Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. First add, then divide.
2y - 12 (+12) = 18 (+12)
2y = 18 + 12
2y = 30
(2y)/2 = (30)/2
y = 30/2
y = 15
Next, plug in 15 for y in the second equation (the other equation would work too).
x = y - 12
x = (15) - 12
x = 3
Linda's age is 3, Laura's age is 15.
