Answer:

9 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

The altitude of an object, d, can be modeled using the equation below:

d=-16t^2 +vt+h

from the edge of a 486 foot cliff, Peyton shot an arrow over the ocean with an initial upward velocity of 90 feet per second. In how many seconds will the arrow reach the water below?

Let

d ----> the altitude of an object in feet

t ---> the time in seconds

v ---> initial velocity in ft per second

h ---> initial height of an object in feet

we have

d=-16t^2 +vt+h

we  know that

When the arrow reach the water the value of d is equal to zero

we have

v=90\ ft/sec

h=486\ ft

d=0\ ft

substitute the values and solve for t

0=-16t^2 +(90)t+486

-16t^2+90t+486=0

Multiply by -1 both sides

16t^2-90t-486=0

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form ax^{2} +bx+c=0 is equal to

x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}

in this problem we have

a=16\\b=-90\\c=-486

substitute in the formula

t=\frac{90(+/-)\sqrt{-90^{2}-4(16)(-486)}}{2(16)}

t=\frac{90(+/-)\sqrt{39,204}}{32}

t=\frac{90(+/-)198}{32}

t_1=\frac{90(+)198}{32}=9\ sec

t_2=\frac{90(-)198}{32}=-3.375\ sec

the solution is t=9 sec

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

The ratio of blue jays to Robin's was 6 to 7. If there were 84 Robins, how many blue jays were there?​
Paul [167]

Answer:

72

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Since the ratio of blue jays to robin's was 6 to 7 then if there were 84 robins how many blue jays were there.</em>

<em>6 to 7 can also be express as 6/7</em>

<em>Thus, we can set up a proportion</em>

<em>6/7 = x/84</em>

<em>Now, we have to solve for x</em>

<em>x = 72</em>

<em>Hence, if there were 84 robin there would be 72 blue jays.</em>

In a cookie mix, we find ginger cookie, molasses cookies, and pinwheel cookie in a ratio of 1:2:7. If a bag of the mix contains
liraira [26]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:It must be an equal ratio- 2:3:7 = n:n:112

Now, to find the other numbers (n) in the ratio, we have to find the relationship between the two proportions.

To get from 7 to 112, we must multiply by 16. This is the relationship.

So, we must multiply both, the walnut and raisin cookies by 16 also.

2 x 16 = 32 = Raisin

3 x 16 = 48 = Walnut

Already known: 112 = Pinwheel

Now that we have all the data, we can make the ratio.

Raisin : Walnut : Pinwheel

32 : 48 : 112

Hope this helps! :)

The price of a stock increased 12 cent Monday morning. On Monday afternoon, the price of the stock decreased 56 cent. On Tuesday
jeyben [28]
Ok, were starting at when the stock increased first which is 12 cents on monday.  to find your answer your going to need to add all of the increased cents first; then subtract.

12 + 14 = 26

So we have 26 cents, now we subtract the 56.

26 - 56 = -30

now we have -30.  now we find out how far away on the number line it is from 12.  your answer would be 42.

now for your answer, (i did all of that for other people who had the same question but different answer)

your answer would be 112 cents (which is option B)

150% of what number is 40.
Crazy boy [7]

Solution for what is 150% of 40 40/x=100/150 (40/x)*x=(100/150)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x 40=0.666666666667*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.666666666667) to get x 40/0.666666666667=x 60=x x=60 now we have: 150% of 40=60
