The function H(t) = −16t2 + 48t + 12 shows the height H(t), in feet, of a cannon ball after t seconds. A second cannon ball move

s in the air along a path represented by g(t) = 10 + 15.2t, where g(t) is the height, in feet, of the object from the ground at time t seconds. Part A: Create a table using integers 0 through 3 for the 2 functions. Between what 2 seconds is the solution to H(t) = g(t) located? How do you know? (6 points) Part B: Explain what the solution from Part A means in the context of the problem. (4 points)

Part A:
To determine the values of the times to which the height of the two cannon balls are the same, we equate the given functions.
    H(t) = g(t)
Substitute the expressions for each.
  -16t² + 48t + 12 = 10 + 15.2t

Transpose all the terms to the left-hand side of the equation.
 -16t² + (48 - 15.2)t + (12 - 10) = 0

Simplifying,
   -16t² + 32.8t + 2 = 0

The values of t from the equation are 2.11 seconds and -0.059 seconds

Part B:
In the context of the problem, only 2.11 seconds is acceptable. This is because the second value of t which is equal to -0.059 seconds is not possible since there is no negative value for time.

A square with sides of 3 squareroot 2 is inscribed in a circle. what is the area of one of the sectors formed by the radii to th
mrs_skeptik [129]
Drawing this square and then drawing in the four radii from the center of the cirble to each of the vertices of the square results in the construction of four triangular areas whose hypotenuse is 3 sqrt(2).  Draw this to verify this statement.  Note that the height of each such triangular area is (3 sqrt(2))/2.

So now we have the base and height of one of the triangular sections.

The area of a triangle is A = (1/2) (base) (height).  Subst. the values discussed above,   A = (1/2) (3 sqrt(2) ) (3/2) sqrt(2).  Show that this boils down to A = 9/2.

You could also use the fact that the area of a square is (length of one side)^2, and then take (1/4) of this area to obtain the area of ONE triangular section.   Doing the problem this way, we get (1/4) (3 sqrt(2) )^2.  Thus, 
A = (1/4) (9 * 2) = (9/2).  Same answer as before.

I need 50 gallons of milk replacer for calves and the powder mixture says it's 6.25 oz for 5 gallons how many oz of powder do I
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

62.5 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the ratio proportion method:

x:50::6.25:5

x = (50x6.25)/5

OR a more simple method is to do this:

5 gallons of milk require 6.25 oz. How many oz of powder do I need to get 10x that amount? Since 50 is 10x5, you do the same thing for 6.25, and get 62.5
