Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the horizontal distance the ball travels, we need to know first how long it took to hit the ground. We will find that time in the y-dimension, and then use that time in the x-dimension, which is the dimension in question when we talk about horizontal distance. Here's what we know in the y-dimension:
a = -32 ft/s/s
v₀ = 0 (since the ball is being thrown straight out the window, the angle is 0 degrees, which translates to no upwards velocity at all)
Δx = -15 feet (negative because the ball lands 15 feet below the point from which it drops)
t = ?? sec.
The equation we will use is the one for displacement:
Δx =
and filling in:
which simplifies down to
so
so
t = .968 sec (That is not the correct number of sig fig's but if I use the correct number, the answer doesn't come out to be one of the choices given. So I deviate from the rules a bit here out of necessity.)
Now we use that time in the x-dimension. Here's what we know in that dimension specifically:
a = 0 (acceleration in this dimension is always 0)
v₀ = 80 ft/sec
t = .968 sec
Δx = ?? feet
We use the equation for displacement again, and filling in what we know in this dimension:
Δx =
and of course the portion of that after the plus sign goes to 0, leaving us with simply:
Δx = (80)(.968)
Δx = 77.46 feet
If x=-5 is a zero, then the first factor of the polynomial would be (x + 5 )
To find the other two factors we can divide the polynomial by the expression (x+5).
Using synthetic division, we have:
-5 I 4 15 -24 5 (Coefficients of the dividend)
I -20 25 -5 (Multiplying each coefficient by the results of the substraction and adding)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 -5 1 0 (Coefficients of the quotient)
The result of the division is 4x^2 - 5x + 1. Factoring it, we have:
4x^2 - 4x -x + 1 (Separating -5x into -x and -4x)
4x (x - 1) - (x -1) (Factoring each pair of terms)
(x-1)(4x-1) (Factoring using the common factor)
So the answer would be:
(x + 5 )(x-1)(4x-1)
0.4335/1 x 10000/10000
=4335/10000
=867/2000
