A ball is dropped off an office building that is 790 feet tall. Apply the function h(t)=-16t^2, where h(t) is the height of the

ball at the time t, and c is its initial height. Approximately how long did it take the ball to hit the ground

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This models the parabolic function

h(t)=-16t^2+v_{i}t+h_{i},

where h(t) is the height after the motion occurs, v_{i} is the initial upwards velocity, and h_{i} is the initial height from which the object was launched or dropped.  Because we do not have any upwards velocity when an object is dropped straight down, it is only affected by gravity.  Our function for this situation is

h(t)=-16t^2+790

To find when the object hits the ground, replace the h(t) with a 0, since the height of something when it hits the ground has no height at all.  Factor the quadratic for t, time.

0=-16t^2+790 and

0=-16(t^2-49.375)

By the Zero Product Property, either

-16 = 0 or t^2-49.375=0

Since -16 definitely does not equal 0, then

t^2-49.375=0 and

t^2=49.375

Taking the square root of both sides and only allowing for the principle (positive) root since time will never be negative, then

t=\sqrt{49.375} and

t = 7.03 seconds

What is the principal which would amount to $6900 in 3 years at 5% simple interest per annum?​
balu736 [363]

Answer:

$6000

Step-by-step explanation:

accumulated amount = A = PI

A = $6900

Let P = x

6900 - I = x

I = (x)(0.05)(3yrs) = 0.15x

6900 - 0.15x = x

Add

6900 = 1.15x

Divide, solve for x

x = 6000

20 POINTS HELPPPPP

For this case we have the following expression:

\frac {216 ^ {n-2}} {(\frac {1} {36}) ^ {3n}} = 216

We multiply both sides by: (\frac {1} {36}) ^ {3n}

216 ^ {n-2} = 216 * (\frac {1} {36}) ^ {3n}

We divide both sides by 216:

\frac {216 ^ {n-2}} {216} = (\frac {1} {36}) ^ {3n}

To divide powers of the same base, we place the same base and subtract the exponents:

216 ^ {n-2-1} = (\frac {1} {36}) ^ {3n}\\216 ^ {n-3} = (\frac {1} {36}) ^ {3n}

Rewriting:

(6 ^ 3) ^ {n-3} = (\frac {1} {6 ^ 2}) ^ {3n}\\6 ^ {3n-9} = \frac {1} {6 ^ {6n}}\\6^{ 3n-9} * 6^{ 6n} = 1

To multiply powers of the same base, we place the same base and add the exponents:

6^{ 3n-9 + 6n} = 1\\6^{ 9n-9} = 1

We know that any number raised to zero is 1, a ^ 0 = 1.

So, for equality to be true:

9n-9 = 0\\9n = 9\\n = \frac {9} {9}\\n = 1

Answer:

n = 1

Graph + > -1.
andrew-mc [135]

You have the right idea but the endpoint is at the wrong location. Instead, the green dot should go at -1. The shading is to the right. We use a closed filled in circle here (instead of an open hole) to tell the reader "include the endpoint". So -1 is part of the solution set.

In short, the graph consists of a closed filled in circle at -1 with shading to the right. This visually describes all values that are larger than -1, or equal to -1.
