An object is launched from the ground. The object’s height, in feet, can be described by the quadratic function h(t) = 80t – 16t

2, where t is the time, in seconds, since the object was launched. When will the object hit the ground after it is launched? Explain how you found your answer.

Would you like me to help walk you through this with you figuring out the work?
Or would you prefer just an answer in math form with me explaining it along the way?

<span>h(t) = 80t – 16t^2
When you are on the ground we have zero height, h(t) = 0. This is saying that at some amount of time we will call t, the object will hit the ground. Now we solve for t to get that time 
so we sub h(t) for 0.
0=80t-16t^2 move the -16t^2 to the other side
 16t^2=80t   divide both sides by t
16t=80   divide both sides by 16
t=5
Now... it is important to realize that there are going to be 2 answers to this equation as you have a t^2. The other answer is 0. Obviously, unless the object started on the ground, the time to hit the ground is not 0 and that answer is ruled out.

The object will hit the ground after 5 seconds. You can rewrite the quadratic function as a quadratic equation set equal to zero to find the zeros of the function 0 = –16t2 + 80t + 0. You can factor or use the quadratic formula to get t = 0 and t = 5. Therefore, it is on the ground at t = 0 (time of launch) and then hits the ground at t = 5 seconds.

Which expression is a trinomial of degree 1?<br><br>6 + x – y<br><br>3x – y
VikaD [51]
The correct answer is 6+x-y.

This is because the other answer choice is a binomial and not a trinomial (which contains three terms). A term is always separated by - or + signs.

Does taking ginkgo tablets (i.e., and extract from a tree species) twice a day provide significant improvement in mental perform
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

D. These results do not provide good statistical evidence that taking ginkgo tablets twice a day provides some improvement in mental performance. If 200 tests are being performed at the 5% significance level, some are bound to show statistically significant results, even if the treatment does not have any effect. It is premature to draw statistical conclusions from this study in which the percentage of significant tests is about 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is not right to just made a conclusive argument on a large population by considering the outcome of the analysis made on a sample of the population. In addition, based on the number of tests conducted with about 5% significance level, it is clear that this can not be used to draw the necessary conclusion.
