A firecracker shoots up from a hill 160 feet high, with an initial speed of 90 feet per second. Using the formula H(t) = −16t2 +
Masja [62]

When the firecracker hits the ground, H(t) = 0.0 = -16t^2 + 90t + 160 Using the quadratic formula,t = (-90 +- sqrt(90^2 - 4(-16)(160))) / 2(-16)t = -1.42 ort = 7.04

The negative time is extraneous. Therefore,t = 7.04 s.

Seven Seconds is your answer!

Jon recently drove to visit his parents who live 280 miles away. On his way there his average speed was 9 miles per hour faster
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

11 mph and 20 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent his average speed going by r1 and his average speed returning by r2.  We know that r1 = r2 + 9.

Recall that distance = rate times time, so time = distance / rate.

Time spent going was (280 mi) / r1, or (280 mi) / (r2 + 9 mph).

Time spend returning was (280 mi) / r2.

The total time was 14 hrs, so (280 mi) / (r2 + 9 mph) + (280 mi) / r2 = 14 hrs

Note that there is only one variable here:  r2.  Find r2, and then from r2, find r1:

Dividing all 3 terms by 14 hrs yields:

  20            20

---------- + ----------- = 1

r2 + 9         r2

The LCD here is r2(r2 + 9).  Thus, we have:

      20r2                    (r2 +  9)(r2)

------------------- = 1 or  ------------------

 (r2 +  9)(r2)               (r2 +  9)(r2)

Then 20(r2) = (r2)^2 + 9(r2).  This is reducible by dividing all terms by r2:

20 = r2 + 9, or 11 = r2.  Then r1 = 11 + 9, or 20.

The two rates were 11 mph and 20 mph.
