A football team lost five yards on each of two consecutive plays. Find the total change in yardage.

Mathematics

maria [59]3 years ago

Answer:

The change is a loss of 10 yards, so -10 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total change in yardage after 2 plays is the sum of the yardage of each play.

What lost yardage means?

Lost yardage means negative yardage.

Imagine that in a Buffalo Bills game, Devin Singletary lost 2 yards on his first carry. So his total yardage is -2.

If in the next carry he gets 3 yards, his total yardage is 1. If he loses 1, his total yardage is -3.

First play

Loss of 5 yards.

So the first play counts for -5 yards.

Second play

Loss of 5 yards.

So the second play counts for -5 yards.

Total

-5 - 5 = -10

The change is a loss of 10 yards, so -10 yards.

A person standing at the edge of a cliff throws a rock upward from a height of 180ft above ground level with an initial velocity
taurus [48]

Answer: 8.73 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following equation that models the motion of the rock:

h(t)=-16t^{2}+64t+180

Where h(t) is the height of the rock at a time t.

Now, if  h(t)=48 ft we can find t and then the velocity of the rock at that height:

48=-16t^{2}+64t+180

Rearranging the equation:

-16t^{2}+64t+132=0

Multiplying the equation by -1:

16t^{2}-64t-132=0

Solving with the quadratic formula t=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}  , where a=16, b=-64, c=-132 .

t=\frac{-(-64)\pm\sqrt{(-64)^{2}-4(16)(-132)}}{2(16)}

Choosing the positive result of the equation:

t=5.5 s  

Since velocity V is defined as the traveled distance h(t) in a given time t, we have:

V=\frac{h(t)}{t}

V=\frac{48 ft}{5.5 s}

V=8.727 ft/s \approx 8.73 ft/s This is the velocity of the rock at the height of 48 feet

The best recruitment source, that is, one which tends to result in attracting employees who experience greater loyalty, tenure,
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

The best recruitment source, that is, one which tends to result in attracting employees who experience greater loyalty, tenure, and job satisfaction than other recruiting sources,is **referrals from current employees**

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an HR question.

Referrals given to potential employees by current employees refer to the glowing references about the firm provided by those current employees to the potential employees.

The best set of people to talk about work conditions, pay, etc., at a workplace are the actual workers of that workplace.

Whenever they provide such privy information to a potential employee, it leaves no massive room for unpleasant surprises when the potential employee takes the job. The referrals basically groin the employee for the the best and the worst of such a workplace, that even qualified personnel, before taking up jobs, like to speak to current employees of that firm.

In HR, there's the popular saying that a firm is as good as the way they treat their employees.

So, such total information before taking a job leads to gaining employees that know all about what to expect and which realistic job satisfaction to target. Their realities after starting the job is often already calculated.

Hence, anyone that interacts with current employees of a firm and still takes up job with the firm, has a huge tendency to stay longer, be more loyal and have a bigger job satisfaction.

Hope this Helps!!!
