Using the formula given: d = <span>√(3h/2)

We simply substitute the given values of h into the equation and compare the results.

For Wyatt where h = 120:
d = </span>√(3(120)/2)<span>
d = 13.42 miles

</span><span>For Shawn where h = 270:
d = </span>√(3(270)/2)<span>
d = 20.12 miles
</span>
Since the question asks for how much farther can Shawn see, we subtract the results:

20.12 - 13.42 = 6.7

Therefore, Shawn can see 6.7 miles farther.

The function h(t)=−16t2+7t+63 represents the height of a t-shirt launched from a t-shirt cannon after t seconds. a. Write an equ
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

(a)\ -16t^2 + 7t + 63=0

(b)\ t = 2.215

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

h(t) = -16t^2 + 7t + 63

Solving (a): Equation when it hits the ground.

This means that h(t) = 0

So, we have:

h(t) = -16t^2 + 7t + 63

-16t^2 + 7t + 63=0

Solving (b): The value of t in (a)

-16t^2 + 7t + 63=0

Using quadratic formula, we have:

t = \frac{-b \± \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

This gives:

t = \frac{-7 \± \sqrt{7^2 - 4*-16*63}}{2*-16}

t = \frac{-7 \± \sqrt{49+ 4032}}{2*-16}

t = \frac{-7 \± \sqrt{4081}}{-32}

t = \frac{-7 \± 63.88}{-32}

Split

t = \frac{-7 + 63.88}{-32}; or\ t = \frac{-7 - 63.88}{-32}

t = \frac{56.88}{-32}; or\ t = \frac{-70.88}{-32}

t = -1.7775; or\ t = 2.215

Time can't be negative; So:

t = 2.215

Carmen lives in Maine and pays 5% in sales tax. She just bought $70 in
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by analyzing the information we have.

We know that Carmen pays 5% tax on everything she buys, and has made a purchase of $ 70.

But they also tell us that there is $ 25 of that purchase that will not be charged with taxes.

Therefore, what will be charged with taxes will be:

70-25 = 45

Now we must know how much is 5% of 45 and that we can find out by multiplying 45 by 0,05:

45.0,05 = 2,25

Now that we know that the tax was 2.25, we just have to add it to the total purchase to find out how much Carmen paid:

2.25 + 70 = 72.25

Therefore, the total value of the purchase is 72.25.

A baseball field is in the shape of a square. The
lina2011 [118]
Since the distance in between each plate is 90ft. We know from home to 1st is 90ft. To get to 2nd from first is also 90ft. So 90 + 90 is 180ft.

Now this question is weird because it could be asking how far would a baseball player would have to run to get to 1st then 2nd

Or

Could be asking the distance from Home to 2nd without going to 1st. So just a straight line from home to 2nd.

If that’s the case we need to use the Pythagorean theorem

Our setup would be 90^2 + 90^2 = c^2
Adding A and B will get us 16200. Now we need to divide to get to the other side. But C is squared. So we need to Square root 16200. Which is 127.28ft.
