Martin throws a ball straight up in the air. the equation h(t) = -16t^2 + 40t + 5 gives the height of the ball, in feet, t secon

Lisa [10]

Answer:

2.62 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

t ----> the time in seconds

h(t) ----> he height of the ball, in feet

we have

$h(t)=-16t^2+40t+5$

we know that

When the ball hits the ground, the height is equal to zero

$-16t^2+40t+5=0$

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

$at^{2} +bt+c=0$

is equal to

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

in this problem we have

$-16t^2+40t+5=0$

$a=-16\\b=40\\c=5$

substitute in the formula

$t=\frac{-40\pm\sqrt{40^{2}-4(-16)(5)}} {2(-16)}$

$t=\frac{-40\pm\sqrt{1,920}} {-32}$

$t=\frac{-40+\sqrt{1,920}} {-32}=-0.12\ sec$

$t=\frac{-40-\sqrt{1,920}} {-32}=2.62\ sec$

therefore

The solution is t=2.62 seconds

A bag of lollipops contains red lollipops and purple lollipops. 80% of the lollipops in the bag are red. A number generator simu

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

The number generator is fair. It picked the approximate percentage of red lollipops most of the time.

Step-by-step explanation:

The other answer choices represent various misinterpretations of the nature of the experiment or the meaning of the numbers generated.

___

A number generator can be quite fair, but give wildly varying percentages of red lollipops. Attached are the results of a series of nine (9) simulations of the type described in the problem statement. You can see that the symmetrical result shown in the problem statement is quite unusual. A number generator that gives results that are too ideal may not be sufficiently random.
