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

otez555 [7]

Hey there!

2 - 4 * 6

= 2 - 24

= -22


Option A.
7 * (5 - 2) + 6

= 7 * 3 + 6

= 21 + 6

= 27

Option A. is incorrect


Option B.
5 + 2 * 7 + 6

= 5 + 14 + 6

= 19 + 6

= 25

Option B. is also incorrect


Option C.
7 * (5 + 2) - 6
= 7 * 7 - 6

= 49 - 6

= 43

Option C. is also incorrect


Option D.

6 - 2 + (7 * 5)

= 6 - 2 + 35

= 4 + 35

= 39

Thus, it seems like NONE of the ABOVE is correct


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!

PLZ HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIST
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is option A "A number less than 2." That is because we check off each of the following given options. It won't be option C because they're 4 odd numbers a equal amount of multiplies of two (option D) which means they both have a equal (4 out of 8) chance. It won't be option B because they're 7 out of 8 numbers that are greater then on which means you have a greater chance of getting a number greater then one but the question is asking for the most unlikely.....therefore the answer is option A because you have a 1 out of 8 chance of getting a number less then two.

Hope this helps.
