What percentage of U.S. states have names that start with the letter W?

1 answer:

5 0

Lets see... of the 50 states 4 have the letter W so that would make the fraction $\frac{4}{50}$ since percents are out of 100 , you would multiply both numbers by 2 making the percent of letter W's 8% . Hope it helps!!

Basically any two numbers whose product is 44^2 = 1936.
so 16×121 = 1936
so the pair is 16 and 121

If a certain cannon is fired from a height of 8.8 meters above the ground, at a certain angle, the height of the cannonball ab

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

It would take approximately 6.50 second for the cannonball to strike the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided function.

$h(t)=-4.9t^2+30.5t+8.8$

We need to find the time takes for the cannonball to strike the ground.

Substitute h(t) = 0 in above function.

$-4.9t^2+30.5t+8.8=0$

Multiply both sides by 10.

$-49t^2+305t+88=0$

For a quadratic equation of the form $ax^2+bx+c=0$ the solutions are: $x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Substitute a = -49, b = 305 and c=88

$t=\frac{-305+\sqrt{305^2-4\left(-49\right)88}}{2\left(-49\right)}=-\frac{-305+\sqrt{110273}}{98}\\t = \frac{-305-\sqrt{305^2-4\left(-49\right)88}}{2\left(-49\right)}= \frac{305+\sqrt{110273}}{98}$

Ignore the negative value of t as time can't be a negative number.

Thus,

$t=\frac{305+\sqrt{110273}}{98}\approx6.50$

Hence, it would take approximately 6.50 second for the cannonball to strike the ground.
