H(t) = -16t² + vt + s

Where -16 is half of the gravitational constant of almost 32 ft/sec (downward, thus negative),

v is the initial velocity (90), and

s is the starting height (160)

so we have:

H(t) = -16t² + 90t + 160

How long before it hits the ground? Solve for h(t) = 0:

0 = -16t² + 90t + 160

Divide both sides by -2:

0 = 8t² - 45t - 80

Quadratic equation:

t = [ -b ± √(b² - 4ac)] / (2a)

t = [ -(-45) ± √((-45)² - 4(8)(-80))] / (2(8))

t = [ 45 ± √(2025 + 2560)] / 16

t = [ 45 ± √(4585)] / 16

throwing out the negative time:

t = (45 + √4585) / 16

t ≈ 7.04 seconds

Please help me with the 3rd question!!! I'll give you 91 points now, please.

Answer:

At the end of the day 797 lockers were closed.

Step-by-step explanation:

So first of all you need to find out how many even numbers there are from 1-900 (which is 450) so you know that 450 are open. In the 3 multiplication tables every second number is even so you know that half of the 450 lockers that was opened was closed again: this meant that 225 lockers remained open.

You also know that every number in the 4 multiplication tables is the second number in the 2 multiplication tables so half of them are closed but you also know that the 900th locker was opened so now you have 113.

So to conclude you do 900-113 which gives you 797 (this is because 113 is the amount of lockers that is open)

Find the value of y when x=3<br> y=2x3<br> y=0
MaRussiya [10]
Answer: 54

Why? You need to put 3 in for x so you get
2(3)^3
3 to the third power is 3*3*3 which equals 27
2(27)
Now you must do 2 times 27 and you get 54

Hope this helps
