The height h (in feet) of an object t seconds after it is dropped can be modeled by the quadratic equation h = -16t2 + h0, where

h0 is the initial height of the object. Suppose a small rock dislodges from a ledge that is 255 ft above a canyon floor. Solve the equation h = -16t2 + 255 for t, using the quadratic formula to determine the time it takes the rock to reach the canyon floor.

Answer:

The rock will reach to the canyon floor in 3.99 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height h (in feet) of an object t seconds after it is dropped can be modeled by the quadratic equation

h=-16t^2+255

Where, h0 is the initial height of the object.

It can be written as

h=-16t^2+0t+255

The height of the object is zero if it will reach to the canyon floor.

0=-16t^2+0t+255

Quadratic formula:

t=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Here a=-16, b=0 and c=255.

t=\frac{-0\pm \sqrt{0^2-4(-16)(255)}}{2(-16)}

t=\frac{\pm \sqrt{16320}}{-32}

t=\pm 3.99

Time cannot be negative, therefore the rock will reach to the canyon floor in 3.99 seconds.

The formula c = 5p + 210 relates c, the total cost in dollars of hosting a birthday party at a skating rink, to
Lesechka [4]
It would be 31 because if they are willing to spend 365 on the party then you’d replace the c with 365 and then subtract 210 from 365 and then divide 5 to get the variable by itself

Abigail was skateboarding home when the wheel axle of her skateboard broke. She had already traveled two thirds of the way home
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

I think that her taking the skateboard is 4 times as fast as her walking.

Step-by-step explanation:

I got this because she traveled twice as long and twice as fast on the skateboard, so if you multiply it together, there u have it.

For this exercise assume that all matrices are ntimesn. Each part of this exercise is an implication of the form​ "If "statement
inna [77]

Answer:

C. True; by the Invertible Matrix Theorem if the equation Ax=0 has only the trivial solution, then the matrix is invertible. Thus, A must also be row equivalent to the n x n identity matrix.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Invertible matrix Theorem is a Theorem which gives a list of equivalent conditions for an n X n matrix to have an inverse. For the sake of this question, we would look at only the conditions needed to answer the question.

  • There is an n×n matrix C such that CA=I_n.
  • There is an n×n matrix D such that AD=I_n.
  • The equation Ax=0 has only the trivial solution x=0.
  • A is row-equivalent to the n×n identity matrix I_n.
  • For each column vector b in R^n, the equation Ax=b has a unique solution.
  • The columns of A span R^n.

Therefore the statement:

If there is an n X n matrix D such that AD=​I, then there is also an n X n matrix C such that CA = I is true by the conditions for invertibility of matrix:

  • The equation Ax=0 has only the trivial solution x=0.
  • A is row-equivalent to the n×n identity matrix I_n.

The correct option is C.
