We are  given function: h(x)=-5(x-4)^2+180 for the height in meters, x seconds after the launch.

We need to find the time when it hit the ground.

The height of the object would be 0, when it hit the ground.

<em>So, we need to set the given function equal to 0 and solve for x.</em>

-5(x-4)^2+180 = 0.

Subtracting both sides by 180.

-5(x-4)^2+180-180 = 0-180.

-5(x-4)^2 = -180.

Dividing both sides by -5, we get

(x-4)^2 = 36.

Taking square root on both sides, we get

\sqrt{(x-4)^2} = \sqrt{36}

x-4 = + - 6

x-4 =6 and x-4 =-6

Adding 4 on both sides in both equations, we get

x-4+4 =6+4 and x-4+6 =-6+4

x=10 and x=-2.

<em>x represents time in seconds. So we can't take a negative value for time.</em>

<h3>Therefore,  10 seconds after being launched will the object hit the ground.</h3>

A, B, and C are collinear points, where B is between A and C. Find x if AB = x, BC = x + 6, and AC = 24. Then find the measures
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

AB = 9, BC = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, A, B, and C are collinear points, where B is between A and C. i. e. A - B - C

\therefore AC = AB + BC\\\therefore 24 = x + x + 6\\\therefore 24 = 2x + 6\\\therefore 24 - 6 = 2x \\\therefore 18 = 2x \\ \therefore \:  \frac{18}{2}  = x \\  \therefore \: x = 9

\therefore AC = AB + BC\\\therefore 24 = x + x + 6\\\therefore 24 = 2x + 6\\\therefore 24 - 6 = 2x \\\therefore 18 = 2x \\ \therefore \:  \frac{18}{2}  = x \\  \therefore \: x = 9 \\  \because \: AB  = x \\  \huge \red{ \therefore AB  = 9} \\  \\  \because \:BC = x + 6 \\  \therefore \: BC = 9 + 6 \\ \huge \purple{ \therefore \: BC = 15}

Nathaniel had a bag of 5 green marbles,3 blue marbles,6 red marbles,and 6 yellow marbles.Find the probability if Nathaniel pulls
Dovator [93]
To find probability, you'd have to find the total number of marbles (5+3+6+6=20), and since there are 3 blue marbles, the probability of picking one is 3 out of 20, or 3/20
If that blue marble isn't replaced, there will then be 19 marbles, and 2 blue ones. So the probability of him picking another blue marble is 2/19
