Answer:

6 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The question in English is</em></u>

An object is thrown from a platform.

Its height (in meters), x seconds after launch, is modeled by:

h(x)=-5x^2+20x+60

How many seconds after the launch does the object reach the ground?

Let

x ----> the time in seconds

h(x) ---> the height of the object

we have

h(x)=-5x^2+20x+60

we know that

When the object hit the ground the height is equal to zero

so

For h(x)=0

we have

-5x^2+20x+60=60

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

ax^{2} +bx+c=0

is equal to

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}

in this problem we have

-5x^2+20x+60=60

so

a=-5\\b=20\\c=60

substitute in the formula

x=\frac{-20\pm\sqrt{20^{2}-4(-5)(60)}} {2(-5)}

x=\frac{-20\pm\sqrt{1,600}} {-10}

x=\frac{-20\pm40} {-10}

x=\frac{-20+40} {-10}=-2

x=\frac{-20-40} {-10}=6

The solution is x=6 sec

The he object reach the ground at x=6 seconds

Which of the following is parallel to the line 2x+4y=16
k0ka [10]

Answer:

Option C: y=-1/2x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the options:

A) y=2x+5

B) y=-1/2x+4

C)y=-1/2x+8

D)y=-2x+5

But first let's define what parallel even is. When two lines are parallel it means that there slope is the same value and the same sign, while there y-intercepts are different, because if they were the same, then they wouldn't be parallel, they would just be the same exact line.

So we're given the equation in standard form. To find the slope we can change it so it's in the form of y=mx+b. This can be done by simply isolating y. The reason we want it in the slope-intercept form is because m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept. m is the slope because as x increases by 1 the y-value will increase by m. So the "rise" will be m and the "run" will be 1, thus the slope will be m/1 or in other words m because the slope is defined as rise/run. So let's start the steps to isolating y

Original equation

2x+4y=16

Subtract 2x from both sides

4y=-2x+16

Divide both sides by 4

y = -1/2x + 4

Here we have it in slope-intercept form. In this case the slope, or m, is -1/2 and the y-intercept or b is 4. So now let's look at the other equations.

Option A: This equation has a slope of 2, which is not the same as -1/2 so it is not parallel

Option B: This equation has a slope of -1/2 which is the same as -1/2 so it might be parallel. But look at the y-intercept it's 4, that's the same y-intercept as the original equation. This means the two equations are equal and not parallel

Option C: This equation has a slope of -1/2 which is the same as -1/2 so it might be parallel. It has a y-intercept of 8 which is not the same as 4, so the two lines are parallel and not equal! This is the answer

Lindsay prepared 9 containers of fruit punch for a party. After the party, there were still 4 4/9 containers of fruit punch left
umka2103 [35]

Turn 9 into \frac{81}{9}. Then, convert 4 \frac{4}{9} into a improper faction ( \frac{40}{9} ). Then, subtract

\frac{81}{9} - \frac{40}{9} = \frac{41}{9}. Lastly, convert  \frac{41}{9} to a mixed fraction ( 4\frac{4}{9} ).

Your answer is 4\frac{4}{9}.
