\bf \stackrel{\textit{ball's height}~\hfill }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{h}=1+15t-5t^2}\implies \stackrel{\textit{ball's height}~\hfill }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{6}=1+15t-5t^2}\implies 0=-5+15t-5t^2 \\\\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{using the quadratic formula} \\\\ \stackrel{\stackrel{a}{\downarrow }}{5}t^2\stackrel{\stackrel{b}{\downarrow }}{-15}t\stackrel{\stackrel{c}{\downarrow }}{+5}=0 \qquad \qquad t= \cfrac{ - b \pm \sqrt { b^2 -4 a c}}{2 a}

\bf t=\cfrac{-(-15)\pm\sqrt{(-15)^2-4(5)(5)}}{2(5)}\implies t=\cfrac{15\pm\sqrt{225-100}}{10} \\\\\\ t=\cfrac{15\pm\sqrt{125}}{10}\implies t=\cfrac{15\pm\sqrt{5^2 \cdot 5}}{10}\implies t=\cfrac{\stackrel{3}{~~\begin{matrix} 15 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}\pm ~~\begin{matrix} 5 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~\sqrt{5}}{\underset{2}{~~\begin{matrix} 10 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}}

\bf t=\cfrac{3\pm \sqrt{5}}{2}\implies t= \begin{cases} \frac{3+ \sqrt{5}}{2} \approx 2.618\\\\ \frac{3- \sqrt{5}}{2}\approx 0.382 \end{cases}

The solids are similar. Find the surface area of the red solid.
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

756

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of areas is the square of the scale factor.

First, we find the scale factor from the blue solid to the red solid.

scale factor = 6/4 = 3/2

The ratio of areas is the square of the scale factor:

ratio of areas = (3/2)^2 = 9/4

volume of red solid = volume of blue solid * ratio of areas

volume of red solid = 336 m^2 * 9/4 = 756 m^2

Answer: S = 756 m^2

The first term of an AP is -7 and the ratio of the eight term to the third term is 7:1 calculate the common difference
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

the common difference is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

first term of an AP, a = -7

let the common difference = d

The third term is written as;

T₃ = a + 2d

The eight term is written as;

T₈ = a + 7d

The ratio of the eight term to third term = 7:1

\frac{T_8}{T_3} = \frac{7}{1} = \frac{a+ 7d}{a + 2d} \\\\7 =  \frac{a+ 7d}{a + 2d}\\\\Recall, a = -7\\\\7 =   \frac{-7+ 7d}{-7 + 2d}\\\\7(-7 + 2d) = -7+ 7d\\\\-49 + 14d = -7 + 7d\\\\14d -7d = -7 + 49\\\\7d = 42\\\\d = \frac{42}{7} \\\\d = 6

Therefore, the common difference is 6.

Solving equations (algebra). Thank you!
LenKa [72]

Answer:

\large\boxed{\dfrac{1}{x^2}+x^2=23}

Step-by-step explanation:

\left(\dfrac{1}{x}+x\right)^2=25\qquad\text{use}\ (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\\\\\left(\dfrac{1}{x}\right)^2+2(x\!\!\!\!\diagup)\left(\dfrac{1}{x\!\!\!\!\diagup}\right)+x^2=25\\\\\dfrac{1}{x^2}+2+x^2=25\qquad\text{subtract 2 from both sides}\\\\\dfrac{1}{x^2}+x^2=23
