we can use height formula

h(t)=-\frac{1}{2} g t^2+vt+h(0)

where

h(t) is the height after t seconds

v is velocity

h(0) is initial height

g is acceleration due to gravity

we know that

g=32 ft/s^2

we have

v=18.5ft/s

h(0)=4.5ft

so, we can plug these values

and we get

h(t)=-\frac{1}{2}*32 t^2+18.5t+4.5

h(t)=-16 t^2+18.5t+4.5

now, we have to find time when object will hit the ground

and we know that object will hit the ground when height becomes 0

so, we can set h(t)=0

and then we can solve for t

0=-16 t^2+18.5t+4.5

we can use pythagoras theorem

t=\frac{-185-\sqrt{185^2-4\left(-160\right)45}}{2\left(-160\right)}=\frac{37+\sqrt{2521}}{64}

t=1.36265sec..............Answer

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Janelle expanded the expression as shown below. -4(-3x + 2/7) = -12x - 3 5/7 What errors did she make?

We are given the expression:

-4(-3x + 2/7)

Solving this expression:

Expanding the brackets

-4 × -3x + -4 × 2/7

12x - 8/7

12x - 1 1/7

The admission fee at an amusement park is $2.00 for children and $6.80 for adults. On a certain day, 388 people entered the park
spin [16.1K]

Answer: 188 children and 200 adults were admitted.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of children that were admitted that day.

Let y represent the number of adults that were admitted that day.

On a certain day, 388 people entered the park. It means that

x + y = 388

The admission fee at the amusement park is $2.00 for children and $6.80 for adults. The admission fees collected that day totaled $1736. It means that

2x + 6.8y = 1736- - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 388 - y into equation 1, it becomes

2(388 - y) + 6.8y = 1736

776 - 2y + 6.8y = 1736

- 2y + 6.8y = 1736 - 776

4.8y = 960

y = 960/4.8

y = 200

x = 388 - y = 388 - 200

x = 188
