There are 514 gram rice in each container.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Amount of rice = 6 kg

1 kg = 1000 g

6 kg = 6*1000 = 6000 g

Number of containers = 10

Rice left = 860 g

Let,

x be the amount in each container.

Total amount of rice - Number of containers*Amount in each container = Amount of rice left

$6000-10x=860\\6000-860=10x\\5140=10x\\10x=5140$

Dividing both sides by 10

$\frac{10x}{10}=\frac{5140}{10}\\x=514$

There are 514 gram rice in each container.

A superhero is trying to leap over a tall building. The function f(x)=-16x^2+200x gives the superhero's height in feet as a func

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Since $\bigtriangleup \geq 0$ , the superhero makes it over the building.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height is given by the following function:

$f(x) = -16x^{2} + 200x$

Will the superhero make it over the building?

We have to find if there is values of x for which f(x) = 612.

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

$ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0$ .

This polynomial has roots $x_{1}, x_{2}$ such that $ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})$ , given by the following formulas:

$x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}$

$x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}$

$\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac$

If $\bigtriangleup < 0$ , the polynomial has no solutions.

In this question:

$f(x) = -16x^{2} + 200x$

$-16x^{2} + 200x = 612$

$16x^{2} - 200x + 612 = 0$

We have to find $\bigtriangleup$

We have that $a = 16, b = -200, c = 612$ . So

$\bigtriangleup = (-200)^{2} - 4*16*612 = 832$

Since $\bigtriangleup \geq 0$ , the superhero makes it over the building.

Ben dives from a 10-foot platform. the equation h = -16 t 2 27t 10models the dive. how long will it take ben to reach the water?

klio [65]

So i'm assuming your eqtn is h = -16t^2 + 27t + 10
and we're looking for t = ? when h = 0

=> 16t^2 - 27t - 10 = 0
(16t + 5)(t - 2) = 0

t = 2 and t = -5/16

answer 2 seconds

1) A projectile is thrown upward so that its distance above the ground after t seconds is

leonid [27]

Answer:

After 22 seconds the projectile reach its maximum height of 4,840 units

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$h(t)=-10t^{2}+440t$

This is a vertical parabola downward (because the leading coefficient is negative)

The vertex is a maximum

Find out the coordinates of the vertex

Convert the quadratic equation in vertex form

Factor -10

$h(t)=-10(t^{2}-44t)$

Complete the square

$h(t)=-10(t^{2}-44t+22^2)+(10)(22^2)$

$h(t)=-10(t^{2}-44t+22^2)+4,840$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$h(t)=-10(t-22)^{2}+4,840$

The vertex is the point (22,4,840)

therefore

After 22 seconds the projectile reach its maximum height of 4,840 units
