A ball is thrown from a height of 43 meters

Mathematics
1 answer:
AveGali [126]3 years ago
4 0
When the ball will hit the ground, the height will be zero. So we need to replace h with 0 in our equation, and solve for t:
0=43-4t-5t^{2}
-5t^{2}-4t+43=0
To solve this equation we are going to use the quadratic formula: t= \frac{-b(+/-) \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a}.
From our height equation, we can infer that a=-5, b=-4, and c=43. So lets replace those values in our quadratic formula to find t
t= \frac{-(-4)(+/-) \sqrt{(-4)^{2}-4(-5)(43)} }{2(-5)}
t=- \frac{5}{8} - \frac{ \sqrt{713} }{8} or t=- \frac{5}{8} + \frac{ \sqrt{713} }{8}
t=-3.96 or t=2.71
Since time cannot be negative, t=2.71 is the solution of our equation.

We can conclude that the ball will hit the ground after 2.71 seconds.

142=10x+8x+2. Please show steps as well.​
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

x=7.78

Step-by-step explanation:

142=10x+8x+2

Move all numbers with the same variables to each side to separate them.

142-2=10x+8x

140=18x

Divide by 18.

x= 140/18

x=7.78

allochka39001 [22]

Answer: 29.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The lengths of the two longer legs are both \sqrt{8^2 + 4^2}=\sqrt{80}

The lengths of the two shorter legs are both \sqrt{4^2+4^{2}}=\sqrt{32}

So P=2\sqrt{80}+2\sqrt{32} \approx 29.2

A rectangular box with an open top has a length of x feet, a width of y feet, and a height of z feet. It costs $4.30 per square
almond37 [142]

Answer:

C=$(4.30xy+5.40(xz+yz))

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface Area of a Cuboid=2(LW+LH+HW)

Since the top is open

Surface Area = LW+2(LH+HW)

If Length = x feet,

Width =y feet

Height = z feet

Surface Area = xy+2(xz+yz)

Area of the base=xy

If it costs $4.30 per square foot to build the base

Cost of the base=Cost Per Square Foot X Area = $4.30xy

Area of the sides =2(xz+yz)

If it costs $2.70 per square foot to build the sides

Cost of the sides=Cost Per Square Foot X Area of the sides

= 2.70 X 2(xz+yz)

=5.40(xz+yz)

Cost of Constructing the Box = Cost of Constructing the Base + Cost of Constructing the Sides.

Therefore,

C=$(4.30xy+5.40(xz+yz))
