Answer:

  • Alan: 200 m/min
  • Brian: 150 m/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the number of laps that Alan completes in 9 minutes. Then n-1 is the number of laps Brian completes, and the difference in their lap times in minutes per lap is ...

  9/(n -1) - 9/n = 3/4 . . . . . minutes

Multiplying by (4/3)n(n -1), we get

  12n -12(n -1) = n(n -1)

  12 = n(n -1)

Solutions to this are n=4 and n=-3. We are only interested in the positive solution, n = 4. Then Alan's speed in m/min is ...

  (4·450 m)/(9 min) = 200 m/min

Brian completes 3 laps in that 9-minute time, so his rate is ...

  (3·450 m)/(9 min) = 150 m/min

An object is thrown upward at a speed of 96 feet per second by a machine from a height of 14 feet off the ground. The height of
liberstina [14]

Answer:

8t^2 -48 t -7=0

x =\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 -4ac}}{2a}

Where:

a= 8, b =-48, c = -7 and replacing we got:

t_1 = \frac{48 - \sqrt{(-48)^2 -4(8)(-7)}}{2*8} = -0.1425

t_2 = \frac{48 + \sqrt{(-48)^2 -4(8)(-7)}}{2*8} = 6.142

And since the time cannot be negative the correct answer for this cae would be t = 6.142 s

Step-by-step explanation:

If the question is: When will the object hit the ground at when the time is how many seconds?

We have the function for the heigth given by:

h(t) = -16t^2 +96 t +14

And we want to find the time where h(t) =0 so we can set like this the condition:

0 =-16t^2 +96 t +14

And we can rewrite the expression like this:

16t^2 -96 t -14 =0

We can divide both sides of the equation by 2 and we got:

8t^2 -48 t -7=0

And we can use the quadratic equation to solve for t like this:

x =\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 -4ac}}{2a}

Where:

a= 8, b =-48, c = -7 and replacing we got:

t_1 = \frac{48 - \sqrt{(-48)^2 -4(8)(-7)}}{2*8} = -0.1425

t_2 = \frac{48 + \sqrt{(-48)^2 -4(8)(-7)}}{2*8} = 6.142

And since the time cannot be negative the correct answer for this cae would be t = 6.142 s
