Answer:
is a horizontal stretch of
by
units.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given functions are;

and

The parent function is
.
The function
is a horizontal stretch of
by
units.
The equation is actually

. Free fall is always -16t^2 as the position function. We are looking for how long it takes the object to hit the ground. In other words, the height of an object is 0 when it is laying on the ground, so how long (t) did it take to get there? We will then set that position equal to 0 and solve for t.

. If we subtract 1437 from both sides and divide by -16, we have

. Taking the square root of both sides gives us, rounded to the nearest tenth, t = 9.5 or t=-9.5. The 2 things in math that will never EVER be negative are time and distance/length, so -9.5 is out. That means that it took just about 9.5 seconds for the object to fall to the ground from a height of 1437 feet when pulled on by the force of gravity.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Use synthetic division:
The coefficients of 2x^3 - 1 are {2, 0, 0, -1}. Setting up synthetic division, we get:
1 / 2 0 0 -1
2 2 2
---------------------------
2 2 2 1
Note that the remainder is 1. The same result would be obtained through long division.
The quotient is 2x^2 + 2x + 2 with a remainder of 1.
Consecutive numbers differ by one, which means that if you start with a certain integer
, you obtain the next integer by adding one.
So, if you start with
, the three consecutive numbers are

The sum of these three numbers is

This number is divisible by 3 because you can write it as

Note that this is true in general: the sum of three consecutive numbers is always divisible by three, because it is three times the middle number.
