Answer:

0.448 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

d = -16t² -4t + 412

find t when d = 407

substituting d = 407 into the equation:

407 = -16t² -4t + 412 (subtract 407 from both sides)

-16t² -4t + 412 - 407 = 0

-16t² -4t + 5 = 0 (multiply both sides by -1)

16t² + 4t - 5 = 0  

solving using your method of choice (i.e completing the square or using the quadratic equation), you will end up with

t = (-1/8) (1 + √21)= -0.70 seconds (not possible because time cannot be negative)

or

t = (-1/8) (1 -√21) = 0.448 seconds (answer)

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of options = a, b, c, d, e

Number of correct answer choice = 1

Therefore, number of wrong answers = 4

Recall :

Probability = (number required outcome / number of total possible outcomes)

P(wrong answer) :

Number of Required outcome = number of wrong answer choices = 4

Total answers = 5

Hence,

P(wrong answer) = 4 / 5 = 0.8

How does finding the square root of a number compare to finding the cube root of a number?
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

See explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the principal square root of a number, we the number with an index of 2. The base then become the principal square root.

In the same way, we find the cube root of a number by writing the  number with an index of 3 and the base becomes the cube root of the given number.

For instance:

64=8^2\implies 8=\sqrt{64}

64=4^3\implies 4=\sqrt[3]{64}

suppose that f(x)=x^2 and g(x) = -2/3x^2 which statement best compares that graph of g(x) with the graph of f(x)?
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

f(x) = x^2 , g(x)= -\frac{2}{3}x^2

And we want to compare the two functions.

The minus signs is a reflection around the x axis and the value of 2/3 is a compression of the original function so then the best answer would be:

The graph of g(x) is the graph of f(x) compressed vertically and reflected over the x axis

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following two function given:

f(x) = x^2 , g(x)= -\frac{2}{3}x^2

And we want to compare the two functions.

The minus signs is a reflection around the x axis and the value of 2/3 is a compression of the original function so then the best answer would be:

d) The graph of g(x) is the graph of f(x) compressed vertically and reflected over the x axis
