Answer:
(a) 7.5 seconds
(b) The horizontal distance the package travel during its descent is 1737.8 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) The given function for the height of the object is s = -16·t² + v₀·t + s₀
The initial height of the object s₀ = 900 feet
The initial vertical velocity of the object v₀
= 0 m/s
The time it takes the package to strike the ground is found as follows;
0 = -16·t² + 0×t + 900
900 = 16·t²
t² = 900/16 = 62.25
t = √62.25 = 7.5 seconds
(b) Given that the horizontal velocity of the package is given as 158 miles/hour, we have
158 miles/hour = 231.7126 ft/s
The horizontal distance the package covers in the 7.5 second of vertical flight = 231.7126 ft/s × 7.5 s = 1737.8445 feet = 1737.8 ft to one decimal place
The horizontal distance the package travel during its descent = 1737.8 ft.
We can find a formula for nth term of the given sequence as follows:
1, 5, 12, 22, 35
The 1st differences between terms:
4, 7, 10, 13
The 2nd differences :
3, 3, 3
Since it takes two rounds of differences to arrive at a constant difference between terms, the nth term will be a 2nd degree polynomial of the form:
, where c is a constant. The coefficients a, b, and the constant c can be found.
We can form the following 3 equations with 3 unknowns a, b, c:

Solving for a, b, c, we get:
a = 3/2, b = -1/2, c = 0
Therefore, the nth term of the given sequence is:

Answer:
6.5 = x
Step-by-step explanation:
(x - 4)2 = 5
2*x + 2*-4 = 5
2x - 8 = 5
2x = 13
x = 6.5
Day = 8 4/5 ÷ 4
day = 44/5 ÷ 4
day = 44/5 × 1/4
day = 44/20
day = 11/5
day = 2 1/5
Answer:
A: Tax paid us $1370
B: Total cost= car cost + taxes
$27,400+ $1370
=$28,770
