<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: The first graphic representation.

<h2>Why?</h2>

We are given a quadratic equation, meaning that it could be two possible solutions for the exercise, however, we are talking about time, so we have to consider only the obtained positive values.

Let's make the equation equal to 0 in order to find the values of "t"

h(t)=-16.1t^2 + 150\\0=-16.1t^2 + 150\\16.1t^2=150\\t^2=\frac{150}{16.1}=9.32\\t=+-\sqrt{9.32}=+-3.05\\t1=3.05\\t2=-305

So, discarding the negative value, we can use the possitive value to find the correct graphic representation.

To find the correct graphic representation we must take into consideration the following:

- We must remember that the sign of the coefficient of the quadratic term (t^2) will define if the parabola opens downward or upward.

From the given quadratic (or parabola) equation we have:

a=-1\\b=0\\c=150

So, since the coefficient of the quadratic term is negative, the parabola opens downward.

- Since we are looking for a graphic that represents the change in height over time, we need to look for a graphic that shows only positive values for the x-axis (time)

- We are looking for a parabola which y-axis intercept is equal to 150.

Therefore, the graphic representation of the quadratic function that models a ball's height over time is the first graphic representation.

Have a nice day!

1) Area = leg(1) * leg(2) * .5 = 15 * 36 * .5 = 270

Perimeter = leg(1) + leg(2) + hypotenuse = 15 + 36 + 39 = 90

2) Area = leg(1) * leg(2) = 20 * 80 = 1600

3) Median (divides it in 1/2)

4) Both (divides it in 1/2 and makes a 90 degree angle w/ base)

5) Altitude (makes 90 degree angle w/ base)

6)sqrt(30^2 + 16^2) = sqrt( 900 + 256) = sqrt(1156) = 34

7) sqrt(24^2 + 18^2) = sqrt( 576 + 324) = sqrt(900) = 30

8) sqrt(40^2 + 96^2) = sqrt(1600 + 9216) = sqrt(10816) = 104

9) sqrt(150^2 - 90^2) = sqrt(22500 - 8100) = sqrt(14400) = 120

10) sqrt(35^2 - 25^2) = sqrt(1225 - 625) = sqrt(600) = 10sqrt(6), approx. 24.5

The Surface Area of a square pyramid is 3600 ft. The slant height is 80 feet and the base is 20 feet. At most how many 1 foot cu
amm1812

Answer:

10,583 flexible cubes

9915 rigid cubes

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the surface area of a square pyramid is area of base plus perimeter of base multiplied by the slant height

Surface area = A + 1/2·p·s

The volume of the pyramid = 1/3×A×h

Where:

A = Area of the base = 20 × 20 = 400 ft²

h = The height of the pyramid = √((slant height)² - ((base side length)/2)²)

h = √(80² - (20/2)²) = 30·√7

The volume of the pyramid = 1/3*400*30·√7 = 4000·√7 ft³ = 10,583.005 ft³

If the cubes are flexible, approximately 10,583 cubes

For rigid cubes we have

Given that the height of the pyramid = 30·√7

The slope of the pyramid = 30·√7/10 = 3·√7

So an increase in height of 1 foot gives a reduction in width of 2/(3·√7)

The bottom can hold 400 cubes

The next layer can hold 19×19 = 361

3rd 361

4th 361

5th 324

6th 324

7th 324

8th 324

9th

Continuing, we get a total of about 9915 rigid cubes in the pyramid.

amm1812

Answer:  c.  0.0778

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  X is the number of non-authentic names in her sample with parameter :

n= 5 and p=40% = 0.40

Binomial probability distribution, the probability of getting success in x trials :-

P(X=x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}

We have ,

P(X=0)=^{5}C_0(0.40)^0(1-0.40)^{5}\\\\=(1)(0.60)^{5}\\\\=0.07776\approx0.0778

Thus , the correct answer is option c. 0.0778
