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

Which is an equivalent form of the expression 1800(1.2)^-t
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

1800(5/6)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't see any answer choices, but this would be another form if it is listed. The negative exponent means that you get the reciprocal of the fraction (in this case 1.2). This turns 1.2 into (1/1.2), which is equivalent to 5/6.

Someone help, please and thank you
taurus [48]

Answer:

6√2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

θ = 45

Opposite side = 6

To find : - Hypotenuse

Formula : -

sin θ = Opposite side / Hypotenuse

[ The value of sin 45 = 1 / √2 ]

sin 45 = 6 / Hypotenuse

1 / √2 = 6 / Hypotenuse

Cross multiply,

Hypotenuse = 6√2

Esi says that the value of z when z^2 = 80 does not belong in either of these categories since z must be greater than 8.
Anettt [7]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

if z=8 then z^2 would be 64, which is not equal to 80

iz z=9 then z^2 would be 81, which is closer to 80 than 64

therefore, 9 is the whole number than z would be closest to
