<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!

Given: ∠A is a straight angle. ∠B is a straight angle.
choli [55]

Given: ∠A is a straight angle. ∠B is a straight angle.

We need to Prove: ∠A≅∠B.

We know straight angles are of measure 180°.

So, ∠A and <B both would be of 180°.

It is given that ∠A and ∠B are straight angles. This means that <u>both angles are of 180°</u> because of the <u>the definition of straight angles</u>. Using <u>the definition of equality</u>, m∠A=m∠B . Finally, ∠A≅∠B by <u>definition of congruent. </u>

Solve the equation 2p/3-12=-2
-BARSIC- [3]
Hey there! 

\frac{2p}{3} - 12 = -2

Firstly, we are going add 12 on each of the sides that we're working with. like ↓ 

p - 12 + 12 \\ \\ = -2 + 12

This gives us \frac{2}{3}p = 10 (if you are wondering how we got the out come of 10 it is because I added -2 + 12 = 10

Now multiply \frac{3}{2} on each of your sides 

\frac{3}{2} ( \frac{2}{3}p)  \\ \\  =  \frac{3}{2} (10)

Cancel the first set and you will find the value of p

p = 15

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day
