Emilio throws a marshmallow into the air from his balcony. The height of the marshmallow (in feet) is represented by the equatio

n h=−16t2+8t+48, where t is the time (in seconds) after he throws the marshmallow. How long does it take the marshmallow to hit the ground, where h=0?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the marshmallow (in feet) is represented by the equation h=−16t2+8t+48,

where t is the time (in seconds) after he throws the marshmallow.

The equation is a quadratic equation. When the marshmallow hits the ground, its height from the ground will be zero. Therefore

−16t^2+8t+48 = 0

- 2t^2 + t + 6 = 0

Multiplying through by the negative sign. It becomes

2t^2 - t - 6 = 0

2t^2 + 3t - 4t - 6 = 0

t(2t + 3) - 2(2t + 3) = 0

(t - 2)(2t + 3) = 0

t - 2 = 0 or 2t + 3 = 0

t = 2 or t = - 3/2

The time cannot be negative

So it will take 2 seconds to hit the ground

The altitude of a triangle is increasing at a rate of 1 cm/min while the area of the triangle is increasing at a rate of 2 cm2/m
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

The base is reducing at a rate of 3.4cm per min.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let The Height of the Triangle, h

Area of the triangle = A

Area of a Triangle, A= \frac{1}{2}bh

When A=190 cm^2, h=10cm

190= \frac{1}{2}*b*10\\b=38cm

\frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{1}{2}h\frac{db}{dt}+ \frac{1}{2}b\frac{dh}{dt}\\\frac{dh}{dt}=1 cm/min, \frac{dA}{dt}=2cm^2/min,

2=\frac{1}{2}*10*\frac{db}{dt}+ \frac{1}{2}*38*1\\2=5\frac{db}{dt}+19\\2-19=5\frac{db}{dt}\\-17=5\frac{db}{dt}\\\frac{db}{dt}=-\frac{17}{5} =-3.4 cm/min

The base is reducing at a rate of 3.4cm per min.

Find the slope of the line whose equation is 7x - 2y = 4.<br> -2<br> 7/2<br> 4/7
sesenic [268]
Answer: 7/2

To find the slope, we must put the equation in y = mx + b form, and m represents ur slope.

7x - 2y = 4....subtract 7x from both sides
-2y = -7x + 4 ...now divide both sides by -2
y = (-7/-2)x + (4/-2)
y = 7/2x - 2....now we have it in y = mx + b form, and since m is ur slope, ur slope in this equation is 7/2.
