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

If your current examination mean is 97.2 and you receive a 99 on the next examination, what effect will this have?
mr Goodwill [35]

If you have an average of 97.2 on your current exam and you get a 99 on your next exam, your average will increase.

  • Mean in mathematics is the sum (total) of all the values in a set of data, such as numbers or measurements, divided by the total number of values.

  • To find the average, sum all the values ​​in the set. Then divide the total by the number of values.

We have the current examination mean, xold = 97.2

Now, we receive,  x = 99 on the next examination, the new mean will be:

xnew = (xold + x)/N

xnew = (97.2+99)/2

xnew = 196.2/2

xnew = 98.1  

The new average is 98.1

98.1 > 97.2

So if you score 99 on your next exam, your average will increase.
