Answer:

Denote that line: y = ax + b

Line passes (-2, 7) and (2,-5):

=> -2a + b =7

=> 2a + b = -5

Add both side of above equations:

=> 2b = 2

=> b = 1

=> a = (-5 - 1)/2 = -3

=> Slope a = -3

Hope this helps!

Gennadij [26K]

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In this problem we have a pumpkin is launched from the top of a 20 foot tall platform at an initial velocity of 84 feet per second. So the height, h, of the pumpkin at time t seconds after the launch can be modeled by the equation:

$h(t) = -16t^2 + 84t + 20$

So this is the equation of a parabola. The maximum of this parabola occurs at its vertex. So let's find this vertex:

$\text{The x-value of the vertex is}: \\ \\ t=-\frac{b}{2a} \\ \\ \\ Where: \\ \\ a=-16 \\ \\ b=84 \\ \\ c=20 \\ \\ \\ t=-\frac{84}{2(-16)} \\ \\ t=-\frac{84}{-32} \\ \\ t=\frac{21}{8}=2.625 \\ \\ h(2.625)=-16(2.625)^2+84(2.625)+20 \\ \\ h(2.625)=-110.25+220.5+20 \\ \\ h(2.625)=130.25m$

Finally, the maximum occurs at time 2.625 seconds when the height is 130.25m

Answer:

a = 33 degrees, b = 147 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of all the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees, and to solve for the angle on the other side of 109 degrees is 71 degrees, so to solve for a, have 180 minus 71 and 76. Then the sum of 71 and 76 is angle b since its the result of a subtracting from 180.

Can someone help me with this plsssss

Answer:

15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The two cylinders shown in the figure are similar to each other.

Therefore, when two figures are similar their measures are in proportion.

So, radius and height of both the cylinders are in proportion.

Radius of both the cylinders are 2 cm and 5 cm respectively. Height of the smaller cylinder is 5 cm. Now,
