nal pull of the earth is about 16 feet per second squared. wants to find how many seconds,t, it will take the object to hit the ground. Match each expression with the correct equation that models this situation or solution.

Answer:

The first listed equation is the correct equation to solve

The correct answer is: t = 5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let me mention first that there is an error in the statement that the gravitational pull of the Earth is 16 ft/s^2. It is in fact 32 ft/s^2, and the actual equation uses half of the acceleration multiplied by the square of the variable time, so it gives as final expression :

y(t)=-16\,t^2+ 0 \,t +400

and we want to find the value/s for "t" that make this equation equal zero (when it reaches the ground and the object just touches the ground. This makes the equation we want to solve:

0=-16\,t^2+ 0 \,t +400\\16\,t^2+0\,t -400=0

which solving for "t" becomes:

16\,t^2-400 =0\\16\,t^2=400\\t^2=\frac{400}{16} \\t^2=25\\t= +/- 5\,\,sec

So we adopt the positive answer (positive time) since the negative value has no physical meaning for this problem.

That is: t = 5 seconds

49x^2=-21x-2 quadratic functions
lara [203]

Answer: 49x^2=-21x-2 quadratic functions -1/7and -2/7    



Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic function:

In elementary algebra, the quadratic formula is a formula that provides the solution to a quadratic equation. There are other ways of solving a quadratic equation instead of using the quadratic formula, such as factoring, completing the square, graphing and others.

Move terms to the left side

49x^{2}  =-21x-2

49x^{2}  -(-21x-2) =0

 Distribute

49x^{2}  -(-21x-2) =0

49x^{2}+21x+2=0

Use the quadratic formula



 x=(-b±√b^{2}  -4ac  ) / 2a

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

Once in standard form, identify a, b, and c from the original equation and plug them into the quadratic formula.

 49x^{2}+21x+2=0

let, a=49

b=21

c=2

The sum of two consecutive integers is 345. What are the integers? need help with it
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

hi there ☺️

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 345. We start by assigning X to the first integer. Since they are consecutive, it means that the 2nd number will be X + 1 and the 3rd number will be X + 2 and they should all add up to 345. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 345

To solve for X, you first add the integers together and the X variables together. Then you subtract three from each side, followed by dividing by 3 on each side. Here is the work to show our math:

X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 345

3X + 3 = 345

3X + 3 - 3 = 345 - 3

3X = 342

3X/3 = 342/3

X = 114

Which means that the first number is 114, the second number is 114 + 1 and the third number is 114 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 345 are 114, 115, and 116.

114 + 115 + 116 = 345

We know our answer is correct because 114 + 115 + 116 equals 345 as displayed above.

A researcher was testing the number of popcorn kernels that popped out of a mini bag of 100 kernels after being cooked for the s
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

The percentage of the bag that should have popped 96 kernels or more is 2.1%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable <em>X</em> can be defined as the number of popcorn kernels that popped out of a mini bag.

The mean is, <em>μ</em> = 72 and the standard deviation is, <em>σ</em> = 12.

Assume that the population of the number of popcorn kernels that popped out of a mini bag follows a Normal distribution.

Compute the probability that a bag popped 96 kernels or more as follows:

Apply continuity correction:

P( X\geq 96)=P( X>96+0.50)

                 =P( X>96.50)\\=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{96.50-72}{12})\\=P(Z>2.04)\\=1-P(Z

*Use a <em>z</em>-table.

The probability that a bag popped 96 kernels or more is 0.021.

The percentage is, 0.021 × 100 = 2.1%.

Thus, the percentage of the bag that should have popped 96 kernels or more is 2.1%.
