Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Percy is not correct because he applied the zero product property to a factored expression that was not equal to 0. He should have subtracted 12 from both sides to get x2 + 7x = 0 before factoring. The correct solutions are 0 and -7.

Suppose the initial height of a Pumpkin is 12 feet and the pumpkin is being launched with a velocity of 61 feet per second. Use
iogann1982 [59]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The maximum height before landing will be 69.7804 feet.

<h2>Why?</h2>

Since there is no information about the angle of the launch, we can safely assume that it's launched vertically.

So, we can calculate the maximum height of the pumpkin using the following formulas:

y=y_o+v_{o}*t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

v=vo-gt

Where,

y, is the final height

y_o, is the initial height

g, is the acceleration of gravity , and it's equal to:

g=32.2\frac{ft}{s^{2} }

t, is the time.

Now, we are given the following information:

y_{o}=12ft\\\\v=61\frac{ft}{s}

Then, to calculate the maximum height, we must remember that at the maximum height, the speed tends to 0, so, calculating we have:

Time calculation,

We need to use the following equation,

v=vo-gt

So, substituting we have:

v=61\frac{ft}{s}-32.2\frac{ft}{s^{2}}*t\\\\-61\frac{ft}{s}=-32.2\frac{ft}{s^{2}}*t\\\\t=\frac{-61{ft}{s}}{-32.2\frac{ft}{s^{2}}}=1.8944s

We know that it will take 1.8944 seconds to the pumpkin to reach its maximum height.

Maximum height calculation,

Now, calculating the maximum height, we need to use the following equation:

y=y_o+v_{o}*t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

Substituting and calculating, we have:

y=y_o+v_{o}*t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

y=12ft+61\frac{ft}{s}*1.8944s-\frac{1}{2}32.2\frac{ft}{s^{2}}*(1.8944s)^{2}

y=12ft+61\frac{ft}{s}*1.8944s-\frac{1}{2}32.2\frac{ft}{s^{2}}*(1.8944s)^{2}\\\\y_{max}=12ft+115.5584ft-16.1\frac{ft}{s^{2}}*(3.5887s^{2})\\\\y_{max}=127.5584ft-57.7780ft=69.7804ft

Hence, we have that the maximum height before the landing will be 69.7804 feet.

Have a nice day!

The area of a rectangle is 40 cm2.<br> If its length is 10 cm, what is its width?
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Width = 4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for area of a rectangle is length x width. You have the length (10), leaving you with this equation.

10 x ? = 40

Solve for x, or in other words, divide 40 by 10. This gives you 4. This means that 10 x 4 equals 40 cm^2

A rectangular field has an area of 1764 square meters. The width of the field is 13 meters more than the length. What is the per
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

170m

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer to the above question is letter d which is 170 m. To get the 170 m, kindly check the below solution: 

x^2 + 13x = 1764 so x = -49 and 36, we take 36 as its the positive value. And the other side is 49. Now use 2(l+b) to find perimeter. You get (36+49)*2 = 170
