Answer:
option D
Step-by-step explanation:
Jerry solved this equation:
In the first step , she multiplied 3 inside the parenthesis
1.
In step 2, 3/4 is added on both sides
2.
In step 3, we take LCD 12
3.
In step 4, add the fractions
4.
Here, 3 or 3/1 are same.
In step 5, to remove 3/1 we multiply both sides by 1/3.
Instead of multiplying 1/3 , Jerry made an error by multiplying 3/1
In step 5, he should have multiplied both sides by 1/3
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.
