Answer:

The correct answer is D. 5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is given to be : s(t) = vt + h - 0.5at²

where, s represents the height of the object from the ground after time t, v represents the initial velocity , a is the acceleration due to gravity which is to be taken 32 feet/sec²

Now, s = 4 feet

Initial velocity, v = 80 feet/second

a = 32 feet/sec²

⇒ s(t) = vt + h - 0.5at²

⇒ 4 = 80 × t - 0.5 × 32 × t²

⇒ 16t² - 80·t + 4 = 0

⇒ 4t² - 20t + 1 = 0

⇒ t = 4.95 seconds

⇒ t ≈ 5 seconds

Hence, It will take approximately 5 seconds for the baseball to hit the ground

Therefore, The correct answer is D. 5 seconds

To answer this item, we just have to substitute the given to the equation, where s is equal to 4 and v is equal to 80 ft/s. 
                                4 = (80)t - 0.5(32 ft/s²)(t²)

The value of t from the equation generated above is equal to 4.94 s. Thus, the answer is approximately 5, letter D.

Which statement is true? A. In any right triangle, the sine of one acute angle is equal to the cosine of the other acute angle.
mr Goodwill [35]

That would be choice 2. One acute angle is the complement of the other

eg in a 90-60-30 triangle sine 30 = cos 60

Write an equation for the line that passes through (4,-6) and (-7,-6). Is the line parallel or perpendicular to the y-axis?
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

y = -6, perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the points to find the slope of the line:

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} =\frac{-6-(-6)}{-7-4} =\frac{-6+6}{-7-4}=\frac{0}{-11}=0

Then, using point-slope form, choose one set of coordinates to use for y1 and x1:

y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})

y-(-6)=0(x-4)

y+6=0

y=-6

Since the slope of the line is zero, it's a horizontal line. The y-axis is a vertical line, which means that the line is perpendicular to the y-axis.

From a population of 200,000,000 elements, the standard deviation is known to be 14. A sample of 49 elements is selected. It is
Talja [164]

Answer:

The standard error of the mean = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The standard deviation σ = 14

The sample size n = 49

The sample mean \overline x = 56

The formula for calculating the standard error can be expressed as:

S.E = \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

S.E = \dfrac{14}{\sqrt{49}}

S.E = \dfrac{14}{7}

S.E = 2

Therefore, the standard error of the mean = 2

4 2/3 divide by 1 2/3
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

14/5

Step-by-step explanation:

I'd suggest rewriting both mixed numbers as improper fractions.  Then we'd have:

14/3 and 5/3

Dividing 14/3 by 5/3 is equivalent to dividing 14 by 5, since the denominators are the same (3).

Quotient is 14/5.
