Answer:

0.46 seconds or 11.72 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Putting 87 for h in the height equation gives ...

87 = -16t^2 +195t

Dividing by -16 puts this in a little nicer form for finding solutions.

t^2 -(195/16)t = -87/16

To "complete the square", we can add the square of half the coefficient of t:

t^2 -(195/16)t + (195/32)^2 = (195/32)^2 -87/16

(t -195/32)^2 = 32457/1024

Taking the square root, we have ...

t -195/32 = ±(1/32)√32457

t = (195 ±√32457)/32 ≈ 0.4638 or 11.7237

The rocket is at a height of 87 feet after 0.46 seconds, and again after 11.72 seconds.

Whats the answer to 1/4 times 4/7

timama [110]

So you are multiplying the fractions together. You do not need a common denominator. You multiply the numerators together and the denominators to get your new fraction.
1x4=4
4x7=28
4/28
This fraction can now be simplified by dividing the numerator and denominator by 4
4/28x4/4
1/7

three friends go to the movies and split the total cost between them. the total cost is $13.05 for movie tickets and $10.26 for

lakkis [162]

Total cost = $13.05 + 10.26
= $23.31
Indivdual pay = $23.31 / 3
= $7.77 each

Which of the following is not an identity?

OLga [1]

D. csc^2 x + sec^2 x = 1

The process for each option is to rewrite the equation, attempting to obtain the identity sin^2 x + cos^2 x = 1. In general convert each function to its equivalent using just sin and cos.

A. cos^2 x csc x - csc x = -sin x
cos^2 x * 1/sin x - 1/sin x = -sin x
(cos^2 x * 1/sin x - 1/sin x) * sin x = -sin x * sin x
cos^2 x * 1 - 1 = -sin^2 x
cos^2 x = -sin^2 x + 1
cos^2 x + sin^2 x = 1
Option A is an identity.

B. sin x(cot x + tan x) = sec x
sin x(cos x/sin x + sin x/cos x) = 1/cos x
cos x + sin^2 x/cos x = 1/cos x
cos^2 x + sin^2 x = 1
Option B is an identity.

C. cos^2 x - sin^2 x = 1- 2sin^2 x
cos^2 x - sin^2 x + 2sin^2 x = 1- 2sin^2 x + 2sin^2 x
cos^2 x + sin^2 x = 1
Option C is an identity.

D. csc^2 x + sec^2 x = 1
1/sin^2 x + 1/cos^2 x = 1
cos^2 x/(cos ^2 x sin^2 x) + sin^2 x/(cos^2 x sin^2 x) = 1
(cos^2 x + sin^2 x)/(cos ^2 x sin^2 x) = 1
1/(cos ^2 x sin^2 x) = 1
1 = cos ^2 x sin^2 x
Option D is NOT an identity.

Human body temperatures have a mean of 98.20° F and a standard deviation of 0.62°. Sally's temperature can be described by z = -

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

$97.27^{o}F$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that human body temperatures have a mean of 98.20° F and a standard deviation of 0.62°. Sally's temperature can be described by z = -1.5.

To find Sally's temperature we will use z-score formula.

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$ , where $\mu$ = Mean, $\sigma$ = Standard deviation.
