Step-by-step explanation:

A tenth is 0.1

To round of to the nearest tenth means to round it of to 1 decimal place.

Now, look at the number after the tenth place with is 0.03 or simply 3.

If the digit is 0-4, you round the whole number down.

Hence, 15.839 is 15.8 to the nearest tenth digit.

If the tenth digit is 5-9 such as 15.85 or 15.87, you round the number up, to give 15.9

An object is launched directly in the air at a speed of 32 feet per second from a platform located 8 feet in the air. The motion

ohaa [14]

Answer:

2.225

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how long the object will be in the air, we just need to find the time when the object reaches the ground, that is, f(t) = 0

So, we have that:

0 = −16t2+32t+8

2t2-4t-1 = 0

Using Bhaskara's formula:

Delta = b2 - 4ac = 16 + 8 = 24

sqrt(Delta) = 4.899

t = (-b + sqrt(Delta)) / 2a

t = (4 + 4.899) / 4

t = 2.2248

Rounding to nearest hundredth, we have t = 2.225
