Answer:
1.7 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
where
v is the initial velocity (in feet per second)
s represents the initial height (in feet)
In this problem we have
---> because the object is dropped
substitute
Remember that
When the chestnut hit the ground the value of H is equal to zero
so
For H=0
solve for t
therefore
The solution is t=1.7 sec
Answer:
Use the appropriate entry method for piecewise functions for the graphing calculator of interest.
Step-by-step explanation:
For Desmos, the entry looks like ...
f(x) = {x ≤ 2: -2x-1,-x+4}
_____
For a TI-84 calculator, the entry may look like ...
Y₁ = (-2X–1)(X≤2) + (-X+4)(X>2)
The symbols ≤ and > come from the TEST menu, which is the (2nd) shift of the MATH key.
Note that the function is the sum of the pieces, each piece multiplied by a test. For something like 0≤x<2, the multiplier would be a pair of tests:
... (0≤X)(X<2)
