15t^2 - 100t = 170
15t^2 - 100t - 170 = 0

3t^2 - 20t - 34 = 0

solve for t

t  =  [-(-20) +/- sqrt( 400 - 4*3 *(-34) ] / 6

= 8.07 seconds

Equate 170 feet to d(t) = 15t^2 - 100t.  Rearrange these 3 terms in descending order according to the powers of t.  Then solve for t.  Use the quadratic formula or some other suitable approach.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (2, -6) and is parallel
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

keeping in mind that parallel lines have exactly the same slope, let's check for the slope of the equation above

x-2y=8\implies -2y=-x+8\implies y=\cfrac{-x+8}{-2} \\\\\\ y=\cfrac{-x}{-2}+\cfrac{8}{-2}\implies y=\stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{\cfrac{1}{2}}x-4 \qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 1/2 and passes through the point (2 , -6)

(\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-6})\qquad\qquad \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{1}{2} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-6)}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{1}{2}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{2}) \\\\\\ y+6=\cfrac{1}{2}x-1\implies y=\cfrac{1}{2}x-7

Vary the scale factor n from values less than 1 to values greater than 1. How do the points in the resulting images differ from
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer: For values of n < 1, all the points on the image move closer to the center of dilation and the logo shrinks. For values of n > 1, all the points on the image move farther from the center of dilation and the logo expands.

Step-by-step explanation: PLATO sample answer. hope it helps :)

8) The graphical representation of a linear polynomial is
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Straight line

Step-by-step explanation:

if for a linear polynomial ax + b, a ≠ 0, the graph of y = ax + b is a straight line which intersects the x-axis at exactly one point, namely, (- b/a, 0). Also, this linear polynomial has only one zero which is the x-coordinate of the point where the graph of y = ax + b intersects the x-axis.
