Answer:

The height of the objects are the same after 2 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate at which time both objects have the same height we need to find the value of t that makes both equations equal. Therefore:

-t^2 + 3t = -t + 4\\t^2 - 3t - t + 4 = 0\\t^2 - 4t + 4 = 0\\t_{1,2} = \frac{-(-4) \pm \sqrt{(-4)^2 - 4*1*4}}{2*1} = \frac{4 \pm \sqrt{16 - 16}}{2}\\t_{1,2} = \frac{4}{2} = 2

The height of the objects are the same after 2 seconds.

How many ways are there to choose a committee of 3 people from a group of 9 people?
QveST [7]
C r = (n!)/(r!(n-r)!)
9 C 3 = (9!)/(3!*(9-3)!)
9 C 3 = (9!)/(3!*6!)
9 C 3 = (9*8*7*6!)/(3!*6!)
9 C 3 = (9*8*7)/(3!)
9 C 3 = (9*8*7)/(3*2*1)
9 C 3 = (504)/(6) 9 C 3 = 84

Which of the sequences is an arithmetic sequence?
Bogdan [553]
<h3>Answer: Choice A</h3>

This is because we're adding -6 to each term, i.e. subtracting 6 from each term, to get the next term

  • -2+(-6) = -8
  • -8+(-6) = -14
  • -14+(-6) = -20
  • -20+(-6) = -26

and so on. The gap between adjacent terms is the same width. We say that the common difference is d = -6.
