What is an congruent number

Mathematics

A congruent number N is the area of a right triangle whose sides are all rational numbers (a number that can be stated as a fraction, not something like pi or e).

For example, consider the right triangle with side lengths 3, 4, 5. The area of this triangle is \frac{(3)(4)}{2} = 6. Thus, 6 is a congruent number. The area of a triangle with sides that are any set of the Pythagorean Triples will be a congruent number. I have attached a more precise definition for you from a math blog at UConn (don't let the technical definition confuse you!).

Answer:

Sean's rocket lands 3 seconds after Kiara's rocket.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kiara:  f(t)= -16t² + 80t

Sean:  h(t) = -16t² + 120t + 64

Assume that both rockets launch at the same time.  We need to be suspicious of Sean's rocket launch.  His equation for height has "+64" at the end, whereas Kiara's has no such term.  The +64 is the starting height iof Sean's rocket.  So Kiara has a 64 foot disadvantage from the start.  But if it is a race to the ground, then the 64 feet may be a disadvantage.  [Turn the rocket upside down, in that case.  :) ]

We want the time, t, at which f(t) and h(t) are both equal to 0 (ground).  So we can set both equation to 0 and calculate t:

Kiara:  f(t)= -16t² + 80t

0 = -16t² + 80t

Use the quadratic equation or solve by factoring.  I'll factor:

0 = -16t(t - 5)

T can either be 0 or 5

We'll choose 5.  Kiara's rocket lands in 5 seconds.

Sean:  h(t) = -16t² + 120t + 64

0= -16t² + 120t + 64

We can also factor this equation (or solve with the quadratic equation):

0 = -8(t-8)(2t+1)

T can be 8 or -(1/2) seconds. We'll use 8 seconds.  Sean's rocket lands in 8 seconds.

Sean's rocket lands 3 seconds after Kiara's rocket.

The distance a spring will stretch varies directly with how much weight is attached to the spring. If a spring stretches 9 inche
masha68 [24]
<span>Let the distance a string will stretch be l, and the weight attached to the string be w, then l = kw. 9 = 100k => k = 9/100. l = 9/100 w. Therefore, when a weight of 90 pounds is attached, l = 9 / 100 x 90 = 810 / 100 = 8.1 inches.Hope I helped! :) Cheers!I hope that I could help :) sometines those questions are tricky. Let me know if you need additional help</span>
