Answer:
- Josh's book lands first
- Ben's lands about 0.648 seconds later
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the given equation for v=60 and s=40, the height of Ben's book is ...
h(t) = -16t² +60t +40
We want to find t when h(t) = 0, so we're looking for the solution to ....
0 = -16t² +60t +40
Using the quadratic formula, we find the positive value of t to be ...
t = (-60 -√(60² -4(-16)(40)))/(2(-16)) = (15 +√385)/8 ≈ 4.3277
__
Similarly, the height of Josh's book is ...
0 = -16t² +48t +40
t = (-48 -√(48² -4(-16)(40)))/(2(-16)) = (12 +√304)/8 ≈ 3.6794
__
The time before Josh's book lands is shorter by ...
4.3277 -3.6794 ≈ 0.6482 . . . . . seconds
Josh's book reaches the ground first, by about 0.648 seconds.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The given expression is

The tangent of -1 is defined, it's around -0.02.
The tangent is a trigonometric function with a period of
, where each period is separated by a vertical asymptote which indicates that the function is not determined through all its domain, that's what the question refers to when it says "if is undefined, enter undefined".
However, at
, the tangent is determined, that means, there's no asymptote on that coordinate, that's why it has a "determined value", which is -0.02 approximately.

Answer:
Yes, this is a right triangle
Step-by-step explanation:
Plug the values into the pythagorean thm.
1.5^2 + 2^2 = 2.5^2
2.25+4=6.25
6.25=6.25
Answer:
2 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Their combined speed (speed of closure) is 80 mph + 40 mph = 120 mph.
120 mi/h = 120 mi/(60 min) = 2 mi/min
The distance between the trains at the 1-minute mark is ...
(1 min) · (2 mi/min) = 2 mi
They were warned when two miles apart.
I)
The Midpoint M of the line segment AB is found using the Midpoint formula:

ii)
the slope of the line through A and B is found by the slope formula:

iii)
the product of the slopes of 2 perpendicular lines is -1, so the slope of the line perpendicular to the line through A and B is -1/(-1)=1
iv)
the equation of the line with slope 1, which contains point M(3, 9) is found by the slope point form equation of a line:
y-9=1(x-3)
y-9=x-3
y=x+6
Answer: y=x+6
