6 0

Answer:

-2, 1, 6 and 97

Step-by-step explanation:

Tn = n² - 3

First Term : T1 = (1)² - 3 = -2

Second Term : T2 = (2)² - 3 = 1

Third Term : T3 = (3)² - 3 = 6

Tenth Term : T10 = (10)² - 3 = 97

Sofia hits a softball straight up. the equation h= -16t^2 + 90t models the height h, in feet, of the ball after t seconds. How l

andrezito [222]

It is in the air 5.625 seconds.

Using the quadratic formula,

$t=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}
\\
\\=\frac{-90\pm \sqrt{90^2-4(-16)(0)}}{2(-16)}
\\
\\=\frac{-90\pm \sqrt{8100-0}}{-32}
\\
\\=\frac{-90\pm \sqrt{8100}}{-32}=\frac{-90\pm90}{-32}
\\
\\=\frac{-90+90}{-32}\text{ or }\frac{-90-90}{-32}=\frac{0}{32}\text{ or }\frac{-180}{-32}
\\
\\=0\text{ or }5.625$

0 is when the ball is first launched, 5.625 is when it hits the ground again.

What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that is perpendicular to the line

Len [333]

Answer:

y = x - 1 (third answer choice)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given we see immediately that the slope of this line is -1. The slope of a line perpendicular to this one is +1, which is the negative reciprocal of -1. The slope-intercept form is y = mx + b. To find b, the y-intercept, we make the following substitutions: m = -1, y = -2, x = -2:

-2 = +1(-2) + b, or +1 = 2 + b, or b = -1

and so the desired equation is y = x - 1 (third answer choice)

an air conditioning system can circulate 360, cubic feet of air per minute. how many cubic yards of air can it circulate per min

ahrayia [7]

Alright, lets get started.

3 feet = 1 yard

If we cube both sides of the equation, we will get the conversion into cubic yards

So,

$3*3*3 cubic feet = 1 * 1*1 cubic yards$
