For the problem, use the discriminant to determine the number of real solutions for the equation. Then, find the solutions and c

heck to see if they make sense in the context of the problem.
A soccer player kicks the ball to a height of 2 meters inside the goal. The equation for the height h of the ball at time t is h = −4.9t^2 − 4t + 4. Find the time the ball reached the goal. Enter the time to two decimal places.

Answer:

Discriminant = 55.2 > 0 -> 2 real solutions

Solutions: t1 = -1.1663 s and t2 = 0.35 s

The solution t1 doesn't make sense for this problem, as we can't have a negative value for the time.

So the solution is t2 = 0.35 s

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the time when the ball will reach the height of 2 meters, we just need to use the value of h = 2 in the equation given. So, we have that:

−4.9t^2 − 4t + 4 = 2

−4.9t^2 − 4t + 2 = 0

For this equation, we have the constants a = -4.9, b = -4 and c = 2. So the discriminant Delta is:

Delta = b^2 - 4ac = 16 + 39.2 = 55.2

sqrt(Delta) = 7.4297

As Delta > 0, we have 2 real solutions

t1 = (-b + sqrt(Delta)) / 2a = (4 + 7.4297) / (-9.8)  = -1.1663 s

t2 = (-b - sqrt(Delta)) / 2a = (4 - 7.4297) / (-9.8)  = 0.35 s

Number of real solutions: 2

Solutions: t1 = -1.1663 s and t2 = 0.35 s

The solution t1 doesn't make sense for this problem, as we can't have a negative value for the time.

So the solution is t2 = 0.35 s

The mean length of 6 childrens' big finger is 6.7cm.
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

New mean length of these 17 people=11.62

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Step 1: Determine the total length of children's fingers</em>

L=l×n

where;

L=total length (cm)

l=mean length (cm)

n=number of children

replacing;

L=6.7×6=40.2 cm

The total children's fingers length=40.2 cm

<em>Step 2: Determine the total length of adults fingers</em>

total length of adults fingers=mean length of adults fingers×number of adults

where;

mean length of adults=14.3

number of adults=11

replacing;

total length of adults fingers=(14.3×11)=157.3 cm

<em>Step 3: Determine the new mean length</em>

new mean length=total length of adults and children fingers/number of adults and children

where;

total length of adults and children fingers=157.3+40.2=197.5 cm

number of adults and children=11+6=17

replacing;

new mean length=197.5/17=11.62
