A golfer hits a ball from a starting elevation of 2 feet with a velocity of 70 feet per second down to a green with an elevation

of −7 feet. The number of seconds t it takes the ball to hit the green can be represented by the equation −16t2 + 70t + 2 = −7. How long does it take the ball to land on the green?

Answer:

4.50 s

Step-by-step explanation:

The motion of the ball is represented by the following equation:

h(t) = 2+70t-16t^2 (1)

where

h(t) is the elevation at time t

2 ft is the initial elevation at t = 0

+70 ft/s is the initial vertical velocity

-32 ft/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

The green is located at an elevation of -7 feet, so the ball lands on the green when

h(t) = -7

Substituting into (1)

-7=2+70t-16t^2

And re-arranging we get

16t^2-70t-9=0

This is a second-order equation in the form

at^2+bt+c=0

which has solutions

t_{1,2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} (2)

Here we have:

a = 16

b = -70

c = -9

Substituting into (2) we find the solutions:

t_{1,2}=\frac{70\pm \sqrt{(-70)^2-4(16)(-9)}}{2(16)}

The two solutions are:

t = 4.50 s

t = -0.125 s

The second solution is negative, and since negative time has no physical meaning, the only correct solution is

t = 4.50 s

Use the Side-Splitter Theorem to find x, given that PQ||BC . The figure is not drawn to scale.
MrRa [10]

Answer: x=12


Step-by-step explanation:

1. Accoding to the Side-Splitter Theorem, if a line interesect two sides of the triangle and it is parallel to the third side, then the other two sides are divided by the line proportionally.

2. Then, you can form the following proportion:

\frac{PA}{BP}=\frac{QA}{CQ}

3. Substitute values and solve for x:

\frac{8}{x}=\frac{12}{18}\\18*8=12x\\x=12

Write these numbers in order from least to greatest. ( 3-3/10), (3.1) , (3-1/4)
Orlov [11]

Our three numbers are...

3 3/10 = 3.3

3.1

3 1/4 = 3.25

So, if we order those from least to greatest, we have...

3.1, 3.25, 3.3

which, in the forms given, is...

3.1, 3-1/4, 3-3/10

Help meh pls
melamori03 [73]
The answer should be A because point slope form is y-y1=m(x-x1)....M is the starting point and its -56 and y1(-4) is the y value of the coordinate point and x1(8) is the x value of the coordinate point. it changes to y+4 because two negative signs make a positive(y--4)
