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

Write the equation of the function g(x) if g(x) = f(x - 3) +1 and f(x) = x3 + 1.
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Solution,

f(x) = x^{3} + 1

Put x = x - 3,

f(x - 3) =  (x-3)^{3} + 1

Now,

g(x) = f(x - 3) + 1

or, g(x) =[ (x-3)^{3} +1 ] + 1

or, g(x) = x^{3} -9x^{2} + 27x - 1 + 1+1

or, g(x) = x^{3} - 9x^{2} +27x + 1

James just began a job as a nurse. He is given a starting salary of $66,640 per year. He is also told that his salary will incre
Leto [7]

Answer:

the rate of change of James’ salary is $845 dollars per year

y = 845x + 66640

the value of James’ salary in 23 years=$86,075

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the years worked and y = Salary in dollars

When x=0 then y = 66640

when x= 8 then y = 73400

Two points are (0,66640)  and (8,73400)

Rate of change of salary is the slope

To find slope we use formula

slope = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{73400-66640}{8-0} =845

the rate of change of James’ salary is $845 dollars per year

Slope intercept form of equation is y=mx+b

m = 845 , b is the y intercept (initial salary)

so y = 845x + 66640

Now we find out salary in 23 years

plug in 23 for x in the y equation

y = 845x + 66640

y = 845(23) + 66640=86075

the value of James’ salary in 23 years=$86,075
