The time a projectile spends in the air can be modeled by the equation t² -t - 8 = 0, in which t represents the amount of time t

raveled, in seconds. Which of the following is equivalent to the equation t² - 2t - 8 = 0?
(t + 4)(t - 2) = 0
t -4)(t - 2) = 0
(t + 4)(t + 2) = 0
(t - 4) (t + 2) = 0

Answer:

(t - 4)(t + 2) = 0  

Step-by-step explanation:

The general formula for a quadratic expression is

y = ax² + bx + c

Your expression is

y = t² - 2t - 8 = 0

By comparison, we see that

a = 1; b = -2; c = -8

1. Find two numbers that multiply to give ac and add to give b.

In this case, find two numbers that multiply to give -8 and add to give -2.

It helps to list the factors of  -8.

They are ±1, ±2, ±4, and ±8

After a little trial and error, you should find the numbers -4 and +2.

-4 × 2 = -8, and -4 + 2 = -2)

2. Rewrite the middle term with those numbers

t² -4t + 2t - 8 = 0

3. Factor the first and last pairs of terms separately

t(t - 4) +2(t - 4) = 0

4. Separate the common factor

The common factor is t - 4.

(t - 4)(t + 2) = 0

Karmin will make $18.4 for working an hour after the increase.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

First, we need to determine how much Karmin made an hour.

Karmin's hourly rate = \frac{480}{30} = 16.

So Karmen made $16 every hour that she worked. She worked for 30 hours and earned $480.

She will get a 15% increase in her hourly rate this month.

Step 2:

We need to determine how much 15% of $16 is.

15% of $16 = \frac{15}{100} (16) = 0.15 (16)= 2.4.

So her 15% increase amounts to $2.4.

So the hourly rate for this month 16 + 2.4 = 18.4.

So Karmin will make $18.4 for working 1 hour.

The picture frame has a perimeter of 100 inches. The width is 22 inches. Calculate the missing length. Use that answer to find t
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

39 inches.

858 inches²

Step-by-step explanation:

Length:- (if length = x)

2 ( 11 + x ) = 100

22 + 2x = 100

2x = 100 - 22

2x = 78

x = 78 ÷ 2

x = 39 inches

Area:-

Area = l × b

= 39 × 22

= 858 inches²

In ΔQRS, the measure of ∠S=90°, the measure of ∠R=29°, and SQ = 5.8 feet. Find the length of RS to the nearest tenth of a foot.
taurus [48]

Answer:

10.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

In ΔQRS,

  • m∠S=90°
  • m∠R=29°,
  • SQ = 5.8 feet.

See the diagram below.

The triangle is a Right Triangle,

Using trigonometric ratios,

Tan R=\dfrac{|SQ|}{|RS|} \\Tan 29^\circ=\dfrac{5.8}{|RS|}\\$Cross multiply$\\|RS|XTan 29^\circ=5.8\\|RS|=\dfrac{5.8}{Tan 29^\circ}\\$=10.5 ft (to the nearest tenth of a foot)
