Ethan bought 9.9 pounds of meat (2.2+3.6+4.1) I would say this is reasonable.

The student is wrong because if you do
2(1/5) + 3(3/5) + 4(1/10) it all equals up to 2.6

An object is launched from ground level with an initial velocity of 120 meters per second. For how long is the object at or abov

babunello [35]

Answer:

D) 14 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

First we will plug 500 in for y:

500 = -4.9t² + 120t

We want to set this equal to 0 in order to solve it; to do this, subtract 500 from each side:

500-500 = -4.9t² + 120t - 500

0 = -4.9t²+120t-500

Our values for a, b and c are:

a = -4.9; b = 120; c = -500

We will use the quadratic formula to solve this. This will give us the two times that the object is at exactly 500 meters. The difference between these two times will tell us when the object is at or above 500 meters.

The quadratic formula is:

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

Using our values for a, b and c,

$x=\frac{-120\pm \sqrt{120^2-4(-4.9)(-500)}}{2(-4.9)}\\\\=\frac{-120\pm \sqrt{14400-9800}}{-9.8}\\\\=\frac{-120\pm \sqrt{4600}}{-9.8}\\\\=\frac{-120\pm 67.8233}{-9.8}\\\\=\frac{-120+67.8233}{-9.8}\text{ or }\frac{-120-67.8233}{-9.8}\\\\=\frac{-57.1767}{-9.8}\text{ or }\frac{-187.8233}{-9.8}\\\\=5.3242\text{ or }19.1656$

The two times the object is at exactly 500 meters above the ground are at 5 seconds and 19 seconds. This means the amount of time it is at or above 500 meters is

19-5 = 14 seconds.

Which of the following best describes the graphs below?

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The 3rd statement best describes the graphs.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3rd statement best describes the graphs because they must be similar. The two triangles cannot be congruent because Triangle A must be dilated to become Triangle B.

Multiplying by a scale factor of 1/2 would cause the shape to shrink, but multiplying by a scale factor of 2 would cause the shape to grow.

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

Option D is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

$(3 {m}^{ - 4} )^{3} (3 {m}^{5} ) \\ \\ = {3}^{3} {m}^{ - 4 \times 3} \times 3 {m}^{5} \\ \\ = 27 \times 3 \times {m}^{ - 12 + 5} \\ \\ = 81 {m}^{ - 7} \\ \\ = \frac{81}{ {m}^{7} }$
