Answer:

As per the statement:

A ball is thrown straight up from the top of a tower that is 280 ft high with an initial velocity of 48 ft/s .

Given the height of the object can be modeled by the equation:

s(t) = -16t^2+48t+280

where, t is the time in sec.

Since, we have the height s(t) = 280 ft

⇒280 = -16t^2+48t+280

Subtract 280 from both sides we have;

⇒0= -16t^2+48t

⇒0 = -16t(t-3)

By zero product property we have;

t = 0 and t-3 = 0

⇒t = 0 and t = 3

so, we need 3 second,  after that the ball is lower than the building.

Now, time to reach the ground

Substitute s(t) = 0

0= -16t^2+48t+280

or

-16t^2+48t+280 = 0

⇒-2t+6t+35 = 0

⇒t = -2.9441 and t = 5.9441

Since, t cannot be in negative

⇒t = 5.9441 s

so, at time t = 5.9441 sec it reaches ground.

Therefore, Interval where the height  of the ball is lower than the building is,

(3, 5.9441]

First find the time that the ball is level with the top of the building on its descent. You can do this by  solving 280 = -16^2 + 48t + 280 for t. This gives t = 3 seconds . 
Then when the ball reaches the ground the  time t is obtained by solving 0 = -16t^2 + 48t + 280  This gives t = 5.94 seconds.
Answer in interval notation is  (3, 5.94].

-0.4a + 3 = 7 <br> a = <br> plz help
Papessa [141]

Answer:

a = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

-0.4a + 3 = 7

subtract 3 from each side

-0.4a + 3-3 = 7-3

-.4a = 4

Divide each side by -.4

-.4a/ -.4 = 4/-.4

a = - 10

The longest side

Think about it. The widest angle would leave a resulting long side to reach the ends of the angle 

If you look at the picture, the side across from the widest angle has the longest length

Degger [83]

Answer:

The answer 2.456*10^11

Step-by-step explanation:

To to this we have to count how many decimals from the back of the number

245,600,000,000

We can actually count 11 decimal points from the back

Hence in standard form or scientific notation we have

2.456*10^11
