A waterfall has a height of 900 feet. A pebble is thrown upward from the top of the falls with an initial velocity of 24 feet pe

r second. The​ height, h, of the pebble after t seconds is given by the equation h equals negative 16 t squared plus 24 t plus 900. How long after the pebble is thrown will it hit the​ ground?

Answer:

The pebble will hit the ground 8.29 second after it is thrown.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The height of the pebble after t seconds is given by the equation

h= -16t²+24 t+900.

When the pebble hit the ground, the height of the pebble will be zero.

So putting h=0 in the given equation.

0 = -16t²+24 t+900

⇒-4(4t²-6t-225)=0

⇒4t²-6t-225=0

Applying quadratic formula t=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}, here a=4, b= -6 and c= -225.

\therefore t=\frac{-(-6)\pm\sqrt{(-6)^2-4.4.(-225)}}{2.4}

⇒ t = 8.29, -6.79

Since time can not negative.

∴t=8.29 seconds.

The pebble will hit the ground 8.29 second after it is thrown.

8 units


4qt=8units
divide by 8 both sides
1/2qt=1unit

red=5unit
red=5*1/2
red=5/2qt

lime green=3/2qt
not sure what the ratio of the blue paint to the yellow paint is

I do know that
when b=amount of blue paint in quarts
yo need 5/2qt red, b qt blue, and y qt yellow, where b+y=3/2qt

and the ratio is
5:b:y, where b+y=3

can't solve fully without ration of the the blue to yellow

Answer:

(-78/29, -619/29)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both equations are equal to y we can set them equal to each other

15x+19 = 1/2x - 20

Subtract 1/2x from each side

15x -1/2x +19 = -20

Subtract 19 from each side

14 1/2 x +19-19 = -20-19

Changing to an improper fraction

29/2 x = -38

Multiply each side by 2/29

x = 2/29 * -38

x = -78/29

Now find y

y = 1/2x - 20

y = 1/2 (-78/29) -20

y = -39/29 - 20

Get a common denominator

 =-39/20 - 580/29

 = -619/29

  -39/29 -580/29
