When a ball is tossed into the air, it's height is a quadratic function of time. One student models the height of the ball as h(

t)= -16t^2. Another student models it as h(t)= -16t+10. Could both models be correct? Explain.

Answer:

Height equation for first student is correct while that of second student is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the function of height should be quadratic function.

Standard form of Quadratic function is given as,

f\left(x\right)=ax^2+bx+c.

Degree of quadratic function is 2.

Equation of height for first student is given as h\left(t\right)=-16t^{2}

Since, above equation has degree 2 and equation is in quadratic form with value of b and c as 0.

Therefore, height equation for first student is correct.

Equation of height for second student is given as h\left(t\right)=-16t+10.

Since the degree of above equation is 1, hence it cannot be the quadratic function. Hence second equation is not an quadratic function.

Therefore, height equation for second student is incorrect.

GEOMETRY HELPP -- WILL MARK BRAINLIEST
lukranit [14]

Answer: d = 29 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

S11°W  = 259° on a unit circle

N75°E = 15° on a unit circle

x separation after two hours

x = 2(8cos15 - 18cos259) = 21.179 miles

y separation after two hours

x = 2(8sin15 - 18sin259) = 19.7398 miles

total distance between them is

d = √(19.7398² + 21.179²) = 28.9518... ≈ 29 miles

Which of the following is polynomial?
lawyer [7]

Answer:

x^2-1 has two terms without any negative exponent. so it is a polynomial.

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial is a expression with more than one terms.

The expression with negative exponent is not a polynomial.

Expression in the denominator is also not a polynomial

x^2-1 has two terms without any negative exponent. so it is a polynomial.

option B,C and D has negative exponents, so it is not a polynomial.

Write the word sentence as an inequality. Then solve the inequality.
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

The inequality is 6x ≥ -24

The solution of this inequality is {x : x ∈ R, x ≥ -4} ⇒ [-4, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

  • In the inequality not more than means ≤
  • In the inequality at least means ≥

Let us solve the question

∵ Six times a number x means 6 × x = 6x

∵ At least means ≥

∴ Six times a number x is at least -24 is 6x ≥ -24

∴ The inequality is 6x ≥ -24

Now we will find the solution of the inequality

∵ 6x ≥ -24

→ Divide both sides by 6

∵ \frac{6x}{6} ≥ \frac{-24}{6}

∴ x ≥ -4

∴ The solution of this inequality is {x : x ∈ R, x ≥ -4} ⇒ [-4, ∞)
