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.

Use the graph below to estimate the solution to the system of equations shown.
Mila [183]

Answer: The second choice is answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>The first line (Blue One)</h3>

y=-x-3 (Slope is -1 and intercepts y at -3)

<h3>The second one (Red One)</h3>

y=2x-8 (Slope is 2, to find y-intercept. Substitute x = 0 then we get -8) (For x-intercept, it's 4. Just substitute y=0 to get x-intercept.)

Because there are choices, it's easy to notice.

The first one, x = -4 and almost -5 which is not right. (x is around 1 almost 2.)

The second one, x = 1 and almost 2 is right.

The third one, x = -1 and almost -2 is not right (The intersection isn't even at -1 or any negative number for x-axis.)

The fourth one, just like the first one... x = 4 almost 5

<h3>Or solve the equations.</h3>

y=-x-3\\y=2x-8

Substitute y=2x-8 in y=-x-3

2x-8=-x-3\\2x-8+x+3=0\\3x-5=0\\3x=5\\x=\frac{5}{3}\\(x=1\frac{2}{3})

Look at the value of x then find the answer that matches the value of x.

Now for y, substitute x = 5/3 in y = -x-3 (or in 2x-8 if you want.)

y=-\frac{5}{3} -3\\y=-\frac{5}{3} -\frac{9}{3} \\y=-\frac{14}{3} \\(y=-4\frac{2}{3} )

So the answer is the second choice.
