What is the next step he needs to complete in order to solve the equation?

Suppose a flare is shot from the top of a 120 foot building at a speed of 160 feet per second. The equation h = ?16t + 160t + 12

insens350 [35]

Answer:

The time taken for the flare to hit the ground is approximately 10.7 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Suppose a flare is shot from the top of a 120 foot building at a speed of 160 feet per second. The equation $h =- 16t^2+ 160t + 120$ models the h height at t seconds of the flare.

To find : How long will it take for the flare to hit the ground?

Solution :

The equation $h =- 16t^2+ 160t + 120$ models the h height at t seconds of the flare.

The flare to hit the ground when h=0.

Substitute in the equation,

$-16t^2+ 160t + 120=0$

Applying quadratic formula, $x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Where, a=-16, b=160 and c=120

$x=\frac{-160\pm\sqrt{160^2-4(-16)(120)}}{2(-16)}$

$x=\frac{-160\pm\sqrt{33280}}{-32}$

$x=\frac{-160\pm 182.42}{-32}$

$x=\frac{-160+182.42}{-32},\frac{-160-182.42}{-32}$

$x=−0.70,10.70$

Reject the negative value.

Therefore, the time taken for the flare to hit the ground is approximately 10.7 seconds.

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (-3, 4) and (2, - 1)?

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

slope = -1 or -x

Step-by-step explanation:

Do y2-y1/x2-x1

Plug in

-1 - 4/ 2 - -3 = -5/5

(Simplify)

-1 so the slope is

-1 or -x

If you want to find the equation use one of the points you have.

4 = -1(-3) + b

4 = 3 + b (subtract 3 on each side)

1 = b

y = -1x + 1 is the equation

Hello, I am currently very stuck with this problem and I am unsure as to how I would solve it.

borishaifa [10]

We have the equation

$20y=x^2-10-15$

Let's complete the square, to do it let's add and subtract 25 on the right side

$\begin{gathered} 20y=x^2-10-15+25-25 \\ \\ 20y=(x-5)^2-15-25_{} \\ \\ 20y=(x-5)^2-40 \\ \\ \end{gathered}$

Now we can have y in function of x

$\begin{gathered} y=\frac{1}{20}(x-5)^2-2 \\ \\ \end{gathered}$

Now we can already identify the vertex because it's in the vertex form:

$y=a(x-h)+k$

Where the vertex is

$(h,k)$

As we can see, h = 5 and k = -2, then the vertex is

$(5,-2)$

Now we can continue and find the focus, the focus is

$\mleft(h,k+\frac{1}{4a}\mright)$

We have a = 1/20, therefore

$\begin{gathered} \mleft(5,-2+5\mright) \\ \\ (5,3) \end{gathered}$

The focus is

$(5,3)$

And the last one, the directrix, it's

$y=k-\frac{1}{4a}$

Then

$\begin{gathered} y=-2-5 \\ \\ y=-7 \end{gathered}$

Hence the correct answer is: vertex (5, -2); focus (5, 3); directrix y = -7
