Ms. Walker's science class is doing an egg drop experiment from the balcony of their school. Each egg is protected by a contrapt

ion that the students collectively designed. The height of the egg, in feet, after x seconds is given by the expression below.
-16x^2+35

What do the zeros of the expression represent?

A.
the horizontal distance traveled by the egg
B.
the time at which the egg reaches its maximum height
C.
the maximum height of the egg
D.
the time at which the egg reaches the ground

Answer:

The answer is (D) ⇒ the time at which the egg reaches the ground

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ h(x) = -16x² + 35 ⇒ x is the time in seconds

∵ The zeroes of the expression means the value of x when h(x) = 0

and h is the height of the egg form the ground

∴ -16x² + 35 = 0

∴ 16x² = 35

∴ x² = 35/16 = 2.1875

∴ x = √2.1875 = 1.479

∴ The egg reaches the ground after 1.479 sec.

∴ The zeroes of the expression means the time at which the

egg reaches the ground

A garden has a circular border and a fountain in the center. I measured the distance from one side of the garden to the other, g

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The length of the border is approximately 4 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the garden has a circular border we can apply the formula for the circle's length, which is shown below:

$length = 2*\pi*radius$

Where the radius is half the diameter. The diameter is the distance between two points in the circle going through the center, therefore for this garden the diameter is 1.2 feet and the radius is 0.6 feet. Applying this to the formula gives us:

$length = 2*\pi*0.6\\length = 1.2*\pi\\length = 3.8$

The length of the border is approximately 4 feet.

Please solve 5 f <br> (Trigonometric Equations)<br> #salute u if u solved it

Answer:

$\beta=45\degree\:\:or\:\:\beta=135\degree$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to solve $\tan \beta \sec \beta=\sqrt{2}$ , where $0\le \beta \le360\degree$ .

We rewrite in terms of sine and cosine.

$\frac{\sin \beta}{\cos \beta} \cdot \frac{1}{\cos \beta} =\sqrt{2}$

$\frac{\sin \beta}{\cos^2\beta}=\sqrt{2}$

Use the Pythagorean identity: $\cos^2\beta=1-\sin^2\beta$ .

$\frac{\sin \beta}{1-\sin^2\beta}=\sqrt{2}$

$\implies \sin \beta=\sqrt{2}(1-\sin^2\beta)$

$\implies \sin \beta=\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{2}\sin^2\beta$

$\implies \sqrt{2}\sin^2\beta+\sin \beta- \sqrt{2}=0$

This is a quadratic equation in $\sin \beta$ .

By the quadratic formula, we have:

$\sin \beta=\frac{-1\pm \sqrt{1^2-4(\sqrt{2})(-\sqrt{2} ) } }{2\cdot \sqrt{2} }$

$\sin \beta=\frac{-1\pm \sqrt{1^2+4(2) } }{2\cdot \sqrt{2} }$

$\sin \beta=\frac{-1\pm \sqrt{9} }{2\cdot \sqrt{2} }$

$\sin \beta=\frac{-1\pm3}{2\cdot \sqrt{2} }$

$\sin \beta=\frac{2}{2\cdot \sqrt{2} }$ or $\sin \beta=\frac{-4}{2\cdot \sqrt{2} }$

$\sin \beta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }$ or $\sin \beta=-\frac{2}{\sqrt{2} }$

$\sin \beta=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ or $\sin \beta=-\sqrt{2}$

When $\sin \beta=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ , $\beta=\sin ^{-1}(\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} )$

$\implies \beta=45\degree\:\:or\:\:\beta=135\degree$ on the interval $0\le \beta \le360\degree$ .

When $\sin \beta=-\sqrt{2}$ , $\beta$ is not defined because $-1\le \sin \beta \le1$
