Answer:

t = 1.71825

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

h(t) = -16t^2 + 24t + 6

Required

When will the coin hit the ground

When the coin hits the ground, h(t) = 0

The expression h(t) = -16t^2 + 24t + 6 becomes

0 = -16t^2 + 24t + 6

Multiply through by -1

16t^2 - 24t - 6 = 0

Solve using quadratic formula

t = \frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

Where

a = 16

b = -24

c = -6

t = \frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

t = \frac{-(-24)\±\sqrt{(-24)^2 - 4 *16 * -6}}{2 * 16}

t = \frac{24\±\sqrt{576 +384}}{32}

t = \frac{24\±\sqrt{960}}{32}

t = \frac{24\±30.984}{32}

Split

t = \frac{24+30.984}{32} or t = \frac{24-30.984}{32}

t = \frac{54.984}{32} or t = \frac{-6.984}{32}

t = 1.71825 or t = -0.21825

But time can't be negative;

So:

<em>Time to hit the ground is 1.71825 seconds</em>

If 5 sips +4 gulps = 1 glass and 13 sips +7 gulps = 2 glasses, how many sips equal a gulp?
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

3 sips equal a gulp

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

5sips+4gulps=1glass ----> equation A

13sips+7gulps=2glass

Divide by 2 both sides

6.5sips+3.5gulps=1glass ----> equation B

equate equation A and equation B

5sips+4gulps=6.5sips+3.5gulps

Group terms that contain the same variable

4gulps-3.5gulps=6.5sips-5sips

0.5gulps=1.5sips

gulps=(1.5/0.5)sips

gulps=3sips

therefore

3 sips equal a gulp

Step 1: 12x – 15 – 12x = 7x + 20
stealth61 [152]

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1. 12x - 15 - 12x = 7x + 20

step 2. 12x - 12x - 15 = 7x + 20 (grouping of terms)

step 3. -15 = 7x + 20 (adding like terms)

step 4. -35 = 7x (subtract 20 from both sides)

step 5. this step is incorrect.

step 6. -5 = x ( divide both sides by 7)

step 7. x = -5 (put the variable first).

Simplify 38 over 49 what’s the anwswer
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer: 38 over 49 can be written as 38/49. When divided, you will get 0.77551020408. It takes lots of regrouping, but it ends eventually.

If you are reducing it as a fraction, it is not possible because there is no other number to reduce it, so it will be in it's simplest form already.

If f is a function and x is an element in its domain, which statement is true about the graph of f?
Arada [10]
An appropriate choice among these is
  The graph of f is the graph of the equation y = f(x).

_____
Horizontal and vertical axes of the Cartesian plane are conventionally labeled and referred to as "x" and "y", respectively. When we talk about the graph of f(x) in that context, we usually mean the graph of y=f(x). However, this convention may not be followed in all cases. There may be no "y" label on the graph at all, or the horizontal axis may be labeled something other than "x".
