A flare is launched from a life raft with an initial upward velocity of 192 feet per second. How many seconds will it take for t

he flare to return to the sea? Use the formula
h = 192 - {16t}^{2}
, where (h) is the height of the flare in feet and (t) is the time in seconds.

So you want height to be 0 so you plug zero into the height and solve from there. You subtract 192 from both sides to get -192=-16tsquared. Then you would divide by -16 and end up with 12 = t^2. Then you find the square root of 12 and get t = 3.464 seconds.

We have that

N 1)
a²<span> − 9a + 14 = 0 
</span>

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

(a² − 9a)=-14

Complete the square  Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side 

(a² − 9a+20.25)=-14+20.25

Rewrite as perfect squares

(a-4.5)²=6.25--------> (a-4.5)=(+/-)√6.25

a1=4.5+√6.25-----> a1=7

a2=4.5-√6.25-----> a2=2

the solution problem N 1 is the pair {7, 2}


N 2) 

a²<span> + 9a + 14 = 0
</span>

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

(a² + 9a)=-14

Complete the square  Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side 

(a² +9a+20.25)=-14+20.25

Rewrite as perfect squares

(a+4.5)²=6.25--------> (a+4.5)=(+/-)√6.25

a1=-4.5+√6.25-----> a1=-2

a2=-4.5-√6.25-----> a2=-7

the solution problem N 2 is the pair {-2,-7}

N 3) 

a² + 3a − 10 = 0

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

(a² + 3a)=10

Complete the square  Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side 

(a² + 3a+2.25)=10+2.25

Rewrite as perfect squares

(a+1.5)²=12.25------> (a+1.5)=(+/-)√12.25

a1=-1.5+√12.25-----> a1=2

a2=-1.5-√12.25-----> a2=-5

the solution problem N 3 is the pair {2, -5}


N 4)

a²<span> + 5a − 14 = 0
</span>

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

(a² + 5a) =14

Complete the square  Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side 

(a² + 5a+6.25) =14+6.25

Rewrite as perfect squares

(a+2.5)² =20.25-------> (a+2.5)=(+/-)√20.25

a1=-2.5+√20.25-----> a1=2

a2=-2.5-√20.25-----> a2=-7

the solution problem N 4 is the pair {2, -7}


N 5) 

a² − 5a − 14 = 0

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

(a² − 5a)=14

Complete the square  Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side 

(a² − 5a+6.25)=14+6.25

Rewrite as perfect squares

(a-2.5)²=2025--------> (a-2.5)=(+/-)√20.25

a1=2.5+√20.25-----> a1=7

a2=2.5-√20.25-----> a2=-2

the solution problem N 5 is the pair {7, -2}

I’m slow and lazy and yeah sorry just at least help
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

2) x = 6    y = 7      3) x = -5    y= 2

Step-by-step explanation:

2) 10x - 8y = 4

   2(-5x + 3y = -9)

-10x + 6y = -18

 10x - 8y =   4      Add both equations together

         -2y = -14

         y = 7            Divide both sides by -2

10(x) - 8(7) = 4       Plug in 7 for the y to solve for x

10x - 56 = 4  

     + 56 + 56        Add 56 to both sides

10x = 60

x = 6                      Divide both sides by 10

3) Where the two lines intersect, that is the solution to x and y.

The lines intersect at (-5,2). x = -5      y = 2
