If a certain cannon is fired from a height of 8.8 meters above the ground, at a certain angle, the height of the cannonball ab

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

It would take approximately 6.50 second for the cannonball to strike the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided function.

$h(t)=-4.9t^2+30.5t+8.8$

We need to find the time takes for the cannonball to strike the ground.

Substitute h(t) = 0 in above function.

$-4.9t^2+30.5t+8.8=0$

Multiply both sides by 10.

$-49t^2+305t+88=0$

For a quadratic equation of the form $ax^2+bx+c=0$ the solutions are: $x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Substitute a = -49, b = 305 and c=88

$t=\frac{-305+\sqrt{305^2-4\left(-49\right)88}}{2\left(-49\right)}=-\frac{-305+\sqrt{110273}}{98}\\t = \frac{-305-\sqrt{305^2-4\left(-49\right)88}}{2\left(-49\right)}= \frac{305+\sqrt{110273}}{98}$

Ignore the negative value of t as time can't be a negative number.

Thus,

$t=\frac{305+\sqrt{110273}}{98}\approx6.50$

Hence, it would take approximately 6.50 second for the cannonball to strike the ground.

The price of a bungalow in 1990 was $850000. If there was a 125% increase in 2000, followed by a 30% decrease in 2013, what was

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

1,338,750$

Step-by-step explanation:

1990 price was 850,000

in 2000

850,000 + 125% = 1,062,500

850,000 + 1,062,500 = 1,912,500

in 2013

1,912,500 - 30% = 573,750

1,912,500 - 573,750 = 1,338,750

Factor each completely. <br><br>10a² - 9a + 2 <br><br>

Sophie [7]

Answer:

a= $\frac{2}{5}$ or $\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Equate the equation to zero

$10a^{2}$ -9a+2=0

$10a^{2}$ -5a-4a+2=0

5a(2a-1)-2(2a-1)=0

Write out the factors

(5a-2)(2a-1)=0

Then equate each factor to zero

5a-2=0 OR 2a-1=0

5a=2 OR 2a=1

a= $\frac{2}{5}$ OR a= $\frac{1}{2}$

a= $\frac{2}{5}$ or $\frac{1}{2}$
