A penguin leaps out of the water while swimming. This action is called porpoising. The height y (in feet) of a porpoising pengui

n can be modeled by y = −16x2 + 4.8x, where x is the time (in seconds) since the penguin leaped out of the water. Find the roots of the equation when y = 0. Explain what the roots mean in this situation.

Answer: The roots of the equation when y = 0 are 0 and 0.3

In this situation the root means the time (in seconds) since the penguin is inside the water.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The height y (in feet) of a porpoising penguin can be modeled by

y=-16x^2+4.8x, where x is the time (in seconds) since the penguin leaped out of the water.

When y=0, then

-16x^2+4.8x=0

Taking 16x as common from both terms as gcf, we get

16x(-x+0.3)=0\\\Rightarrow\ 16x=0\ or\ -x+0.3=0\\\Rightarrow\ x=0\ or\ x=0.3

The roots of the equation when y = 0 are 0 and 0.3

In this situation the root means the time (in seconds) since the penguin is inside the water.

Reduce 105 in the ratio 3:5​
Komok [63]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  39.375 : 65.625

Step-by-step explanation:

The meaning of "reduce" in this context is unclear. We assume you want to divide the quantity 105 into parts that have a ratio of 3 : 5. Then the smaller part will be 3/(3+5) = 3/8 of the total; the larger part will be 5/8 of the total.

  3/8 × 105 = 39 3/8

  5/8 × 105 = 65 5/8

The divided quantities are ...

  39.375 : 65.625

Find the possible values of the constant k if the roots of the quadratic equation
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

{b}^{2}  - 4ac = 0 \\  { ( - k  - 2)}^{2}  - 4(1)(4)  = 0\\  {k}^{2}  + 4k + 4 - 4 = 0 \\ {k}^{2}  + 4k = 0 \\ k(k + 4) = 0 \\  \therefore \: k = 0 \:  or \: k =  - 4
