A ball is thrown vertically upward from the top of a building 160 feet tall with an initial velocity of 48 feet per second. The

distance d (in feet) of the ball from the ground after t seconds is d(t) = 160 + 48t - 16t^2.
After how many seconds does the ball strike the ground? Please explain if you can!
When will the ball reach its maximum height? What is the maximum height of the ball? Please explain if you can!

Answer:

# after 5 seconds, the ball strikes the ground

# The ball reaches maximum height at t = 1.5 seconds

# The max height is 196 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is:

d(t)=-16t^2+48t+160

t is the time

d(t) is the distance traveled

Initial height is 160 feet and initial velocity is 48 ft/sec

If we want to find the time it takes the ball to hit the ground, we let d(t) equal to 0 and find t. Shown below:

-16t^2+48t+160=0\\t^2-3t-10=0\\(t-5)(t+2)=0\\t=5,-2

We disregard t = -2 since time can't be negative. We take t = 5

Thus, after 5 seconds, the ball strikes the ground.

The equation is a quadratic of the form: ax^2+bx+c

Matching equations, we can say:

a = -16

b = 48

c = 160

The time when ball reaches max height is given as:

t=-\frac{b}{2a}

Substituting, we find:

t=-\frac{b}{2a}\\t=-\frac{48}{2(-16)}\\t=1.5

The ball reaches maximum height at t = 1.5 seconds

The max height can be found by putting t = 1.5 into the original equation. Shown below:

d(t)=-16t^2+48t+160\\d(1.5)=-16(1.5)^2+48(1.5)+160\\=196

The max height is 196 feet

Lola dice Argos mi perro tiene 10 kg menos que roco cuantos kilogramos tiene argos
Elena L [17]

Answer:

A=R-10

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem is:

<em>Lola says: Argos, my dog, has 10 kilograms less than Roco. How much kilograms Argos has?</em>

<em />

This problem is about algebraic language. We just need to express the ordinaty language into an equation.

We know the words less means difference. So, let's call A Argos' weight and R Roco's weight. We can expresse the given problem as

A=R-10

Notice that we applied a difference due to the word "less" in the problem.

Therefore, Argo's weight is given by the expression

A=R-10

The perimeter of a square is 36<br>what is the area of the square?​
zmey [24]

Answer: 81 units²

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this problem, remember that the formula for the area of a square is 4s.

Therefore, since the perimeter of the given square is 36, we have 36 = 4s and dividing both sides by 4, 9 = s.

Now, remember that the formula for the area of a square is s² and since the length of a side of the given square is 9, we have (9)² or 81.

So the area of a square that has a perimeter of 36 is 81 units².

vDetermine if a Poisson experiment is described, and select the best answer: Suppose we knew that the average number of typos in
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

probability that a randomly selected page that contains only text will contain no typos that is

P(x=0) = e^{-0.08} = 0.923

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Poisson distribution</u>:-

Explanation of the Poisson distribution :-

The Poisson distribution can be derived as a limiting case of the binomial

distribution under the conditions that

i) p is very small

ii) n is very large

ii) λ = np (say finite

The probability of 'r' successes = \frac{e^{-\alpha }\alpha^r  }{r!}

Given the average number of typos ∝ = 0.08 per page.

probability that a randomly selected page that contains only text will contain no typos that is = p(x=0) = \frac{e^{-0.08 }\(-0.08)^0  }{0!}

After calculation P(x=0) = e^{-0.08} = 0.923

probability that a randomly selected page that contains only text will contain no typos =0.923
