If we discuss this as if it is a triangle then the "rise" is the vertical side and the "run" is the adjacent side.
So the ratio of the rise to the run is 8 / 15 which equals <span> <span> <span> 0.5333333333 </span> </span> </span>
To find the angle of this roof pitch we look up the arc tangent of <span> <span> <span> 0.5333333333  </span> </span> </span> and we find that is 28.072 Degrees

Solve for k. m=−8j−9k+9
inn [45]
Answer: k = -8/9j + -1/9m + 1

Step 1: Flip the equation.<span><span><span><span>−8j </span>− 9k </span>+ 9 </span>= m

</span>Step 2: Add -9 to both sides.<span><span><span><span><span>−8j </span>− 9k </span>+ 9 </span>+ −9 </span>= <span>m + −9</span></span><span><span><span>−8j </span>− 9k </span>= <span>m − 9

</span></span>Step 3: Add 8j to both sides.<span><span><span><span>−8j </span>−9k </span>+ 8j </span>= <span>m −9 + 8j</span></span><span><span>−9k </span>= <span><span>8j + m </span>−9

</span></span><span>Step 4: Divide both sides by -9.
-9k/-9 = 8j + m - 9/-9
</span><span>k = -8/9j + -1/9m + 1</span>

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

No it is still 11 feet from the water at 2 seconds

2.1651 seconds  is when it will hit the water

Step-by-step explanation:

h(t) = -16 t^2 +75

This is the formula  for the distance

The -16t^2 is due to gravity and the 75 is the height above the bridge

We want to know the height a t =2

h(2) = -16 (2)^2 +75

h(2) =-64 +75

h(2) = 11

The rock will be 11 ft above the water

When will the rock hit the water

h = 0

0 = -16 t^2 +75

Subtract 75 from each side

-75 = -16t^2 +75-75

-75 = -16t^2

Divide by -16

-75/-16 =  -16t^2 /-16

75/16 = t^2

Take the square root of each side.  We only take the positive square root since time must be positive

sqrt(75/16) =t

5/4 sqrt(3) = t

2.1651 seconds = t
