4 0

The answer is 2
Add like terms
Add 8 to -8 and the zero
To get 4x=8

If an object is dropped from a height of 144 feet, the function h(t)=-16t^2+144 gives the height of the object after t seconds.

shtirl [24]

Answer:

A. 3s

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the object after t seconds is given by:

$h(t) = -16t^2 + 144$

When will the object hit the ground?

It hits the ground after t seconds, and t is found when $h(t) = 0$ . So

$h(t) = -16t^2 + 144$

$0 = -16t^2 + 144$

$16t^2 = 144$

$t^2 = \frac{144}{16}$

$t^2 = 9$

$t = \sqrt{9}$

$t = 3$

3 seconds, so the correct answer is given by option a.

STALIN [3.7K]

C,D and F are correct.

C is what you would think of when reading it, you walked 12 and walked 1/4(12) more.

12 + 12(1/4) =

12 + 3 =

D is equal to C when simplified,

12(1+1/4) =

12 + 3 =

F is the same as the D, it just simplified the numbers in the parenthesis

12(1+1/4) =

12(4/4 + 1/4) =

12(5/4) =

You travel from point A to point B in a car moving at a constant speed of 70 km/h. Then you travel the same distance from point

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

Yes, the average speed for the entire trip from A to C is equal to $80\frac{km}{h}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The average speed of an object is defined as the distance traveled divided by the time elapsed. Velocity is a vector quantity, and average velocity can be defined as the displacement divided by the time. For the special case of straight line motion in the x direction, the average velocity takes the form:

$V_a_v_e_r_a_g_e=\frac{x_2-x_1}{t_2-t_1}=\frac{Δx}{Δt}$
