Answer:

  • Josh's book lands first
  • Ben's lands about 0.648 seconds later

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the given equation for v=60 and s=40, the height of Ben's book is ...

  h(t) = -16t² +60t +40

We want to find t when h(t) = 0, so we're looking for the solution to ....

  0 = -16t² +60t +40

Using the quadratic formula, we find the positive value of t to be ...

  t = (-60 -√(60² -4(-16)(40)))/(2(-16)) = (15 +√385)/8 ≈ 4.3277

__

Similarly, the height of Josh's book is ...

  0 = -16t² +48t +40

  t = (-48 -√(48² -4(-16)(40)))/(2(-16)) = (12 +√304)/8 ≈ 3.6794

__

The time before Josh's book lands is shorter by ...

  4.3277 -3.6794 ≈ 0.6482 . . . . . seconds

Josh's book reaches the ground first, by about 0.648 seconds.

A borrower earns $8,000/month and makes credit card and car note payments of $900. A conventional lender requires a 30% income r
Pavlova-9 [17]
Answer: The lendor will allow for $1500 for the housing expenses.

This lendor is allowing 30% for the debt. So, we start by multiplying 8000 times 0.3 which equals 2400.

However, we have to subtract the current debts of 900.
2400 - 900 = 1500

22+(30-4) ÷2 And 18+(22-4) ÷6
schepotkina [342]

22 + (30 - 4) divided by 2

30 - 4 = 26

26/2 = 13

22 + 13 = 35

35

18 + (22 - 4) divided by 6

22 - 4 = 18

18 divided by 6 = 3

18 + 3 = 21

21
