A ball is thrown downward from a cliff. Its position at time t seconds is given by the formula s(t) = 16t2 + 32t, where s is in

feet. How many seconds (to the nearest tenth) will it take for the ball to fall 215 ft.? Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

Answer:

It takes 2.8 seconds for the ball to fall 215 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a position function s(t) where s stands for the number of feet the ball has fallen, so we have to replace s with the given value of 215 ft and solve for the time t.

Setting up the equation.

The motion equation is given by

s(t) =16t^2+32t

We can replace there s = 215 ft to get

215=16t^2+32t

Solving for the time t.

From the previous equation we can move all terms in one side to get

16t^2+32t-215=0

At this point we can solve for t using quadratic formula.

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

where a, b and c are the coefficients of the quadratic equation

at^2+bt+c=0

So we get

a=16\\b=32\\c=-215

Replacing on the quadratic formula we get

t = \cfrac{-32\pm \sqrt{32^2-4(16)(-215)}}{2(16)}

Using a calculator we get

t=-4.8 , t = 2.8

Physically speaking the only result that makes sense is to move forward in time that give us t = 2.8 seconds.

We can conclude that it takes 2.8 seconds for the ball to fall 215 ft.

Answer:

W=1000C/tc

Step-by-step explanation:

First multiply both side 1000: 1000C=Wtc

Divide both side by tc: 1000C/tc=W (t, c ≠0)

Quadrilateral abcd is inscribed in a circle with m∠a = (x)degrees, m∠b = (2x - 10)degrees, and m∠c = (3x)degree. what is m∠d?
Lynna [10]
Hello,

When you have a polygon inscribed in a circle, the opposite angles are supplementary.

So we can start by saying that A + C = 180. Or x + 3x = 180. This gives us a value of 45 for x.

If we input that in for angle B, we get: 2(25) - 10 = 80.

If angle B = 80, then angle D must be 100, because the angles are supplementary.

Good luck,
