3 0

Answer:

B 5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

h = 240 + 32t – 16t^2

When is this equation 0

0 = 240 + 32t – 16t^2

Factor out 16

0 = -16(-15-2t+t^2)

   = -16(t^2-2t-15)

What 2 numbers multiply to -15 and add to -2

-5*3 = -15

-5+3 =-2


0 = -16(t-5) (t+3)

Using the zero product property

t-5=0   t+3=0

t=5    t=-3

Since time cannot be negative

t=5 seconds

Amy is eight years older than twice her cousin Alicia’s age. The sum of their ages is less than 32. Let x represent Alicia's age
Vladimir [108]
Assume that the age of Alicia is x and that of Amy is y
Twice the age of Alicia = 27
Eight years older means we will add 8
Therefore, the statement "<span>Amy is eight years older than twice her cousin Alicia’s age" can be represented as follows:
y = 8 + 2x (equation)
The sum of their ages is less than 32 can be represented as:
x + y < 32 which can also be written as y < 32-x (inequality)

Which line is the line of reflection?<br><br>A. a<br>B. b<br>C. c<br>D. d
Leto [7]
The line of reflection is b

You can see it much easier if take away all the clutter. Redraw the diagram and take way a d and especially c.

You should be left with only line b and the two triangles. You can see it much easier if you do that. Then just look at the parallel lines of the triangles. They are right across from each other.

an equivalent expression is 5y+4

there is 3y which is y+y+y

so you have y+y+y+y+4+y

there are 5 y so it is 5y
