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

Answer:

48.3 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the enclosing square is that of a square 15 cm on a side, so is ...

square area = (15 cm)^2 = 225 cm^2

The white area is that of a quarter-circle of radius 15 cm, so that area is ...

quarter-circle area = (1/4)πr^2 = (π/4)·(15 cm)^2 = 56.25π cm^2 ≈ 176.7 cm^2

Then the yellow area is the difference ...

yellow area = square area - quarter-circle area

= (225 cm^2) - (176.7 cm^2)

yellow area = 48.3 cm^2

Please help me with this math problem.

Hello!

Tangent lines have only one point on the circle, meaning they form straight angles with the edge of the circle. The radius goes from the center of the circle to the point where the tangent line is on circle, creating a right angle.

Th sum of three numbers is 64. The second number is 3 more than the first. The third number is
ladessa [460]
<span>Three numbers can be defined as x, y, and z.
x + y + z = 64
y = x+3
z = 2x - 11
.
substitute for y and z
x + (x+3) + (2x-11) = 64
4x -8 = 64
4x = 72

x = 18
.
y = x+3 = 21
z = 2x -11 = 2(18) -11 = 36-11 = 25
.
x + y + z = 18 + 21 + 25 = 64
Correct.
.
Answer: The three numbers are 18, 21, and 25.</span>
