The motion of a ball scooped by a field hockey player can be modeled by h=-16t^2+40t, where t is the time in seconds and h is th

e height of the ball. When will the ball reach 25 feet?
Solve with quadratic formula or completing the square or factoring, thank you!!

25 = -16t^2 + 40t

16t^2 - 40t + 25 = 0

(4t - 5)(4t - 5) = 0

4t - 5 = 0

t = 5/4 = 1.25 seconds.

3.Find the area of Triangle and Parallelogram having base 13.5cm and height is 18cm.

patriot [66]

Base=13.5cm
Height=18cm

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Area=\dfrac{1}{2}Base\times Height$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Area=\dfrac{1}{2}(18)(13.5)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Area=9(13.5)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Area=121.5cm^2$

4. Two points on a line are (-10, 1) and (5, -5). If

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

The x-coordinate of another point is zero

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the slope between the two given points

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

we have

$(-10,1),(5,-5)$

substitute in the formula

$m=\frac{-5-1}{5+10}$

$m=\frac{-6}{15}$

Simplify

$m=-\frac{2}{5}$

step 2

Find the x-coordinate of another point

we have

(x,-3)

we know that

If the other point is on the line, then the slope between the other point and any of the other two points must be the same

so

Find the slope between the points

$(x,-3),(5,-5)$

Remember that

$m=-\frac{2}{5}$

substitute in the formula

$-\frac{2}{5}=\frac{-5+3}{5-x}$

$-\frac{2}{5}=-\frac{2}{5-x}$

the denominators must be the same

$5=5-x$

$x=0$

therefore

The x-coordinate of another point is zero

What are the coordinates of the fourth point that could be connected with (–8, 0), (1, 0), and (1, –5) to form a rectangle?

sergey [27]

(-8, -5)

To form a rectangle, all the lines must be perpendicular and parallel. If you draw out the points on a coordinate plane then you can find the answer pretty easily.

Also, this one is easy because all the lines are vertical or horizontal, and when that is the case then you can just see which number in the set hasn't appeared twice (1 appeared twice as an <em>x</em> value, 0 appeared twice as a <em>y </em>value, but -8 has only appeared once as an <em>x</em> and -5 has only appeared once as a <em>y </em>value)

Check the picture below.

for "b", well, recall that the sum of all interior angles in a triangle is 180°.

for "a", "c" and "d", well, all those are just <u>intercepted arcs</u>.
