Answer:

The ball will take 2.6 seconds to hit the ground again.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sam kicks a soccer ball from the ground. The height of the ball (in feet) can be modeled with the function, h(t) = −16t(t − 2.6), where t is the time in seconds after the ball is kicked.

So, the ball will be at ground when h = 0 = - 16t(t - 2.6)

⇒ t = 0 or t = 2.6.

Therefore, the ball will take 2.6 seconds to hit the ground again. (Answer)

Answer:

Assuming the slide is straight - 12 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the slide is straight - it creates a right triangle with long side 13 feet and one of the short sides of 5 feet. We need to find the other short side.

We know that:

$x^2 + 5^2 = 13^2\\x^2 + 25 = 169\\x^2 = 144\\x = 12 \vee x = -12\textrm{; but -12 doesn't make sense}$

Bogdan [553]

If the population was 40,000 at the beginning of 2009, at the end of 2009 it has increased by 10% and became 44,000.

By the same way, at the end of 2010, it became $44000 + \frac{44000*10}{100} = 48400$

At the end of 2011, the population was $48400 + \frac{48400 * 10}{100} = 53240$
