4 0

first, make an equation:

$- 54 = - 3x - 12$

then, add twelve to both sides to remove it from the right:

$- 42 = - 3x$

then just divide by (-3) to get the value of x:

$x = 14$

A baseball is hit with an initial vertical velocity of 121 feet per second and the ball was hit 1 foot above ground. How high is

Viktor [21]

Answer:

After 4 seconds, the ball is at 229 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the height of the ball at 4 seconds

What we have to do here is to substitute the value of t for 4 seconds in the equation

We have;

h = -16(4^2) + 121(4) + 1

h = -256 + 484 + 1

h = 229 ft

George has a square sandbox in the backyard. The sandbox has an area of 160 square feet. To the nearest foot, what is the length

spin [16.1K]

We know that the sandbox is square, and that the area is 160 sq ft. Since A = s^2 for a square, let's work backwards and find s if A = 160 sq ft = s^2.

s^2 = 160 = 16(10). We do this because 16 is the largest perfect square factor of 160.

Then the length of one side of the square is approx. s = 4√10 ft (12.65 ft)
