Answer: 5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A ball is thrown into the air from the top of a building.

The height, h(t), of the ball above the ground t seconds after it is thrown can be modeled by h(t) = -16t^2 + 64t + 80 .

When ball reaches the ground , then its height from ground become zero.

i.e. h(t) = -16t^2 + 64t + 80=0

Divide equation by 16 , we get

-t^2 + 4t + 5=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ t^2-4t-5=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ t^2+t-5t-5=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ t(t+1)-5(t+1)=0\\\\\RIghtarrow\ (t+1)(t-5)=0 \\\\\Rightarrow\ t= -1 , 5

Since time cannot be negative , therefore t= 5

Hence, the ball will take 5 seconds ( after being thrown) to hit the ground.

Amy and sarawong each improved their yards by planting rose bushes and ivy. They bought their from the same store. Amy spent 39$
notka56 [123]

To do this problem, you need to make a system of equations and let statements. Let x = the cost of a rose bush. Let y = the cost of a pot of ivy. 6x+3y =39. 2x+3y=27. Now, subtract the two equations to get 4x=12 (6x-2x,3y-3y,39-27) Now, divide both sides by 4 to get x = 3. Plug 3 in for x to solve y. 39-18=21. 21=3y. Y=7. 27-6=21. 21=3y. Y=7. I hope this helped! Sorry if it’s confusing.

Is 3pi/2pi a rational number or an irrational number? Explain your reasoning
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

It is rational

Step-by-step explanation:

The pi terms cancel out when you divide. This is due to the rule x/x = 1 where x is any number you want except x cannot be zero. So replace x with pi and we have pi/pi = 1

Therefore,

(3pi)/(2pi) = (3/2)*(pi/pi)

(3pi)/(2pi) = (3/2)*1 .... use the rule mentioned above

(3pi)/(2pi) = 3/2

we get a fraction or a ratio of two whole numbers, so this proves that the given expression is rational.

Use the drop-down menus to complete each statement about different aspects of capitalism.
musickatia [10]

Answer:

1- Laissez-fare capitalism means that the government reduces its involvement in the economy.

2- In a capitalist system, private investors own most factories and businesses.

3- In a free market, the law of supply and demand determines the price of goods.

Step-by-step explanation:

1- Laissez fare is a French expression that refers to liberal economic policies, in which economic actors have ample freedom to carry out different activities without limitations, regulations or government controls, thereby reducing their participation in the economy.

2- In capitalism, the means of production are owned by the different actors who, through the investment of their capital, acquire them and use them to produce new goods or services. These people, called investors, control these media (factories, industries, companies, etc.) and give jobs to people, who produce for these investors in exchange for a salary.

3- The concept of free market implies an economic system in which there are no government regulations that govern the consumption or production of goods and services in a given territory. Thus, the goods offered, their price and their characteristics are determined exclusively by the market, which through the law of supply and demand (that is, through the price bid between consumers and producers) determines their prices.
