To find the time to reach ground solve -16t^2 +55 = 0

t^2 = 55/16
t = sqrt55 / 4 = 1.85 seconds

Answer:

Approximately 1.85 sec does it take the object to reach the ground

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the statement:

If an object is dropped from a height of 55 feet

⇒h_0 = 55 ft

The function is given by:

d = -16t^2+55   .....[1] gives the height of the object after t seconds.

We make the table for some values of t.

t                    d

0                  55

1                  39

2                 -9

3                 -89

4                -201

Plot these points on the coordinate plane.

You can see the graph as shown below.

Now, find how long does it take the object to reach the ground (d=0).

Substitute d = 0  in [1] we have;

0 = -16t^2+55

⇒16t^2 = 55

Divide both sides by 16 we get;

t^2 = 3.4375

⇒

t =\pm \sqrt{3.4375}

Since, t cannot be in negative.

⇒t = 1.85404962 second.

Therefore, Approximately 1.85 sec does it take the object to reach the ground

Suma doua numere este 702.Diferenta lor este un sfert din scazator .Afla cele doua numere dAU COROANA
Molodets [167]

Answer:

Cele două numere căutate sunt:

  1. <u>390 </u>
  2. <u>312</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Pentru a rezolva necunoscutul cu aceste două numere, trebuie create două ecuații cu două necunoscute X și Y cu informațiile obținute: În primul rând, știm că suma celor două numere este egală cu 702, prin urmare:

1. <u>X + Y = 702 </u>

Apoi se menționează că diferența (adică scăderea) dintre cele două numere este egală cu un sfert din numărul cel mai mic, pentru a avea o referință, vom identifica variabila Y ca fiind cel mai mic număr, deci a doua ecuație ar fi:

2. <u>X - Y = 0,25Y</u> sau <u>Y / 4 </u>

Ștergem variabila X în a doua ecuație:

  • X - Y = 0,25Y
  • X = 0,25Y + Y
  • <u>X = 1,25Y </u>

Ecuația 1 este acum folosită cu X-ul șters:

  • X + Y = 702
  • 1,25Y + Y = 702
  • 2,25Y = 702
  • Y = 702 / 2,25
  • <u>Y = 312 </u>

Acum, din moment ce se știe că este X = 1.25Y, valoarea lui Y este înlocuită și obținem:

  • X = 1,25Y
  • X = 1,25 * 312
  • <u>X = 390</u>

A takeaway sells 10-inch pizzas and 12-inch pizzas.
N76 [4]

Answer:

532.52

Step-by-step explanation:

P 2(10-inch pizza)=407*3.72-358*0.49=1514.04-175.42=1339.62

P2(12-inch pizza)=169*5.26-142*0.04=888.94-5.68=883.26

P=1339.62+883.26=2222.88

2222.88-1690.36=532.52

13. L'Shonda purchased a container of juice that contains 200 calories. The label says that 40% of the calories are from carbohy
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

80

Step-by-step explanation:

So I here's my thought process on this:

200 divided by 2 is 100

100 - 40% is 60, leaving 40 behind.

So double that and it would be:

200 - 40% is 120

200 - 120 = 80

80% is the answer.
