A gymnast dismounts the uneven parallel bars. Her height, h, depends on the time, t, that she is in the air h = −162 + 24t + 16.

How long will it take the gymnast to reach the ground?

That is when h=0
so assuming yo meant
h(t)=-16t²+24t+16
solve for t such that h(t)=0
because when height=0, the gymnast hits the ground

so
0=-16t²+24t+16
using math (imma complete the square
0=-16(t²-3/2t)+16
0=-16(t²-3/2t+9/16-9/16)+16
0=-16((t-3/4)²-9/16)+16
0=-16(t-3/4)²+9+16
0=-16(t-3/4)²+25
-25=-16(t-3/4)²
25/16=(t-3/4)²
sqrt both sides
+/-5/4=t-3/4
3/4+/-5/4=t
if we do plus (because minus would give us negative height)
8/4=t
2=t
it takes 2 seconds

Which comparison is true?
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

0.3 > 0.09

Step-by-step explanation:

The comparison 0.3 > 0.09 is true.

0.3 = 0.300

0.300 > 0.009

All other options are false. They should have a less than sign instead of a greater than sign.

Virty [35]

\bold{[ \ Answer \ ]}

\boxed{\bold{F \ = \ -\frac{21}{19} }}

\bold{[ \ Explanation \ ]}

  • \bold{Solve: \ f \ - \ 20f \ = \ 21}

-----------------------------------

  • \bold{Add \ Similar \ Elements:f-20f=-19f}

\bold{-19f=21}

  • \bold{Divide \ Both \ Sides \ By \ -19}

\bold{\frac{-19f}{-19}=\frac{21}{-19}}

  • \bold{Simplify}

\bold{F \ = \ -\frac{21}{19}}

\boxed{\bold{[] \ Eclipsed \ []}}
