It is known to us that the Eqyptian pyramids have a square-shaped base and four sides which are equilateral triangles. The angles formed between the edge of the base and the equilateral side is 90°, thus, we can clearly apply the pythagorean theorem.

zhuklara [117]
<h3>Option B</h3><h3>At 2 second and 1.75 second, the object be at a height of 56 feet</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

<em><u>The height h(t) in feet of an object t seconds after it is propelled straight up from the ground with an initial velocity of 60 feet per second is modeled by the equation:</u></em>

h(t) = -16t^2 + 60t

<em><u>At what times will the object be at a height of 56 feet</u></em>

<em><u>Substitute h = 56</u></em>

56 = -16t^2 + 60t\\\\16t^2 - 60t + 56 = 0\\\\Divide\ the\ equation\ by\ 4\\\\4t^2 - 15t + 14=0

Solve the above equation by quadratic formula

\mathrm{For\:a\:quadratic\:equation\:of\:the\:form\:}ax^2+bx+c=0\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}\\\\x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

\mathrm{For\:}\quad a=4,\:b=-15,\:c=14\\\\x =\frac{-\left(-15\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-15\right)^2-4\cdot \:4\cdot \:14}}{2\cdot \:4}\\\\Simplify\\\\x = \frac{15 \pm \sqrt{1}}{8}\\\\x = \frac{15 \pm 1}{8}\\\\We\ have\ two\ solutions\\\\x = \frac{15+1}{8} \text{ and } x = \frac{15-1}{8}\\\\x = 2 \text{ and } 1.75

Thus, at 2 second and 1.75 second, the object be at a height of 56 feet

An equation for the depreciation of a car is given by y=A(1-r)t where y=current value of the car.A=original cost r=rate of depre
Ann [662]
<h3>Answer: Approximately 6.58 years old</h3>

The more accurate value is 6.57881347896059, which you can round however you need. I picked two decimal places.

==================================================

Explanation:

Let's pick a starting value of the car. It doesn't matter what the starting value, but it might help make the problem easier. Let's say A = 1000. Half of that is 1000/2 = 500.

So we want to find out how long it takes for the car's value to go from $1000 to $500 if it depreciates 10% per year.

The value of r is r = 0.10 as its the decimal form of 10%

t is the unknown number of years we want to solve for

---------------------------

y = A(1 - r)^t

500 = 1000(1 - 0.1)^t

500 = 1000(0.9)^t

1000(0.9)^t = 500

0.9^t = 500/1000

0.9^t = 0.5

log( 0.9^t ) = log( 0.5 )

t*log( 0.9 ) = log( 0.5 )

t = log( 0.5 )/log( 0.9 )

t = 6.57881347896059

Note the use of logs to help us isolate the exponent.

PLEASE HELP ME! What is the equation of a line that passes through the point (6, 1) and is perpendicular to the line whose equat
timama [110]

Answer:

y=0.5x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

if it is perpendicular to the line y=-2x-6, then you know that its slope is the negative reciprocal of that line, and it has a different y intercept which you need to solve for using the point given. You solve by plugging in the x and y values from the point and plugging in the slope into the standard equation, and solving for b, the y intercept

y=0.5x+b

1=0.5(6)+b

1=3+b

-2=b
