Answer:

1.2 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

filling the jug up half way adds 1.4 kg to the weight.

2 x 1.4 - 2.8 kg of marbles when full

4-2.8 = 1.2 kg

Answer:

y = -16 (x - 1)^2 + 112

The object lands on the ground in approximately 3.6s

Explanation:

The equation given is that of a parabola.

Now the maximum (local) point of a parabola is the vertex. Therefore, if we want to rewrite our function in the form that would be used to find the maximum height, then that form must be the vertex form of a parabola.

The vertex form of a parabola is

$y=a(t-h)^2+k$

where (h, k) is the vertex.

The only question is, what is the vertex for our function h(t)?

Remember that if we have an equation of the form

$y=ax^2+bx+c$

then the x-coordinate of the vertex is

$h=-\frac{b}{2a}$

Now in our case b = 32 and a = -16; therefore,

$h=\frac{-32}{2(16)}=1$

We've found the value of the x-coordinate of the vertex. What about the y-coordinate? To get the y-coordinate, we put x = 1 into h(t) and get

$k=-16(1)+32(1)+96=112$

Hence, the y-coordindate is k = 112.

Therefore, the vertex of the parabola is (1, 112).

With the coordinates of the vertex in hand, we now write the equation of the parabola in vertex form.

$h(t)=a(t-1)^2+112$

The only problem is that we don't know what the value of a is. How do we find a?

Note that the point (0, 96) lies on the parabola. In other words,

$h(0)=-16(0)^2+32(0)+96=96$

Therefore, the vertex form of the parabola must also contain the point (0, 96).

Putting in t = 0, h = 96 into the vertex form gives

$96=a(0-1)^2+112$ $96=a+112$

subtracting 112 from both sides gives

$a=-16$

With the value of a in hand, we can finally write the equation of the parabola on vertex form.

$\boxed{h\mleft(t\mright)=-16\left(t-1\right)^2+112.}$

Now when does the object hit the ground? In other words, for what value of t is h(t) = 0? To find out we just have to solve the following for t.

$h(t)=0.$

We could either use h(t) = -16t^2 + 32t + 96 or the h(t) = -16(t - 1)^2 + 112 for the above equation. But it turns out, the vertex form is more convenient.

Thus we solve,

$-16\left(t-1\right)^2+112=0$

Now subtracting 112 from both sides gives

$-16(t-1)^2=-112$

Dividing both sides by -16 gives

$(t-1)^2=\frac{-112}{-16}$ $(t-1)^2=7$

taking the square root of both sides gives

$t-1=\pm\sqrt{7}$

adding 1 to both sides gives

$t=\pm\sqrt{7}+1$

Hence, the two solutions we get are

$t=\sqrt{7}+1=3.6$ $t=-\sqrt{7}+1=-1.6$

Now since time cannot take a negative value, we discard the second solution and say that t = 3.6 is our valid solution.

Therefore, it takes about 3.6 seconds for the object to hit the ground.

Please help with this I’m garbage at math:/

Ronch [10]

Answer:

Thale's theorem stated that if a line parallel to the base of the triangle intersects it, the ratio of sides of the respective sides is equal

In this diagram, since the 2 horizontal lines are parallel

the ratio of the 2 sides on the left and the 2 sides on the right will be equal

Hence,

x/15 = 2/10

x = 30/10

x = 3

kari74 [83]

Since the base is 3 inches and the height is 4 inches, as well as the area of a triangle being base*height/2, we get 3*4/2=6 in. for each triangle. Since we need 20 pieces for each puzzle, we multiply 6 by 20 to get 120. In addition, since 80 puzzles are needed, with 20 pieces for each puzzle, we have 120 inches for each puzzle and 120*80 = 9600 square inches of wood used
