Answer:

4.4

Step-by-step explanation:

add $35 and$25 you get $55 the multiply by 0.08 and you get 4.4 but i don't think it is right.

A ball is thrown into the air. The height in feet of the ball can be modeled by the equation h = -16t2 + 20t + 6 where t is the

makkiz [27]

$f(t)=h=-16t^2+20t+6

$

a=-16, b=20, c =6

Δ= $b^2-4ac=20^2-4*(-16)*6=400+384=784$

$\sqrt{Δ}=\sqrt{784}=28$

max:

$p=-\frac{b}{2a}=-\frac{20}{-32}=\frac{20}{32}=\frac{5}{8}$

max heigh: $h=-16(\frac{5}{8})^2+20*\frac{5}{8}+6=-16\frac{25}{64}+\frac{100}{8}+6$

$h=-\frac{25}{4}+\frac{50}{4}+6=\frac{-25+50+24}{4}=\frac{49}{4}$

$h=\frac{49}{4}$ at $t=\frac{5}{8}s$

will fall down at t:

$t=\frac{-20-28}{-32}=\frac{-48}{-32}=\frac{3}{2}=1.5$

$t=1.5s$

20. A ball is dropped from a height of a little over 5 feet, and the height is measured at small intervals. The table below show

Step 1:

a) Write the quadratic model

a = -15.64

b = -1.24

c = 5.23

$P(t)=-15.64t^2\text{ - 1.24t + 5.2}3$

b) t = 0.30

$\begin{gathered} P(t)=-15.64t^2\text{ - 1.24t + 5.2}3 \\ =\text{ -15.64 }\times0.3^2\text{ - 1.24}\times\text{ 0.3 + 5.2}3 \\ =\text{ -1.4076 - 0.372 + }5.23 \\ =\text{ 3.45} \end{gathered}$

c) t = 0.52 seconds

$\begin{gathered} p(t)=-15.64t^2\text{ - 1.23t + 5.23} \\ =\text{ -15.64}\times0.52^2\text{ - 1.23}\times0.52\text{ + 5.23} \\ =\text{ -4.23 - 0.64 + 5.23} \\ =\text{ 0.36} \end{gathered}$

d) 0.30 is more likely to be relaible.

$\begin{gathered} p(t)\text{ = 1} \\ p(t)=-15.64t^2\text{ - 1.23t + 5.23} \\ 1=-15.64t^2\text{ - 1.23t + 5.23} \\ -15.64t^2\text{ - 1.23t + 4.23 = 0} \\ t\text{ = 0.48222} \\ \text{t = 0.48 seconds} \end{gathered}$

Evaluate for x=4 and y=-3 write in simplest form<br> 2y/x2

lorasvet [3.4K]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

I think your formula (2y/x2) is equivalent to

(2*y)/(x^2) where x^2 means x-squared.

If so, then

(2*y)/(x^2) = (2*3)/(4*4) = 6/16 = 3/8

Thank you,

MrB

Find the x intercepts of f(x) = –16x^2 + 22x + 3

Helga [31]

That is where the line crosses the x axis or where y=0

0=-16x^2+22x+3
we gon do grouping
ac method
-16 times 3=-48

what 2 numbers multiply to get -48 and add to get 22
-2 and 24
0=-16x^2-2x+24x+3
group
0=(-16x^2-2x)+(24x+3)
undistribute
0=-2x(8x+1)+3(8x+1)
undistribute
0=(8x+1)(-2x+3)
set eaqual to 0

8x+1=0
8x=-1
x=-1/8

-2x+3=0
3=2x
3/2=x

x intercepts ate x=-1/8 and x=3/2
