Answer:
% Change = (87.5 - 125) / 125 * 100%
= -37.5 / 125 * 100%
= -0.3 * 100%
= -30 %
The percent change is -30 % or 30% decrease.
After one week it will be a total decrease of 175 milligrams
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem you need the function
h(t) = -16t2 + v0t + h0
where t = time
v0 is the initial velocity, which in our case is 0
h0 = initial height, which in our case is 256
h(t) = 0 since we want to know when the ball will hit the ground.
0 = -16 t2 + 256
And we can solve for t
If we rearrange the terms we see that this is a difference of 2 squares
0 = 256 - 16t2
0 = (16-4t)(16+4t)
Setting each factor = 0
16-4t=0 16+4t=4
t = 4 t = -4
The second solution is discarded as time cannot be negative.
So the ball will hit the ground in 4 seconds.
