Answer:

5.3 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the motion equation as follows

h(t) = -16t^{2}+ 48t +190

When the projectile touches the ground we have the height equal to 0

-16t^{2}+ 48t +190=0

we need to to solve this quadratic equation with:

\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}

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

In this case A=-16, B=48, C=190

\frac{-48+\sqrt{48^{2}-4*(-16)190 } }{2(-16)}

\frac{-48-\sqrt{48^{2}-4*(-16)190 } }{2(-16)}

The results are -2.25 s and 5.3 s, since time is a positive variable the final answer is 5.3 seconds

I just graphed this equation, and it shows that the projectile will hit the ground at 5.3 seconds. I could be wrong but I'm going with the calculator is right I hope. I hope this helps you!

Your math teacher tells you that the next test is worth 100 points and contains 38 problems. Multiple-choice questions are worth
rusak2 [61]
If we assume that
x isthe number of multiple choice questions, and y is the number of word problems, we can write a system of equations like:
{ x + y = 38
{ 2x + 5y = 100

If we multiply the first equation by -2 we get:
{ -2x-2y = -76
{ 2x + 5y = 100

Now if we add both equations we get only equation with 1 unknown (y) :

3y = 24 ⇒ y = 8

Substituting the calculated value to the first equation we get:

x + 8 = 38 ⇒ x = 30

The solution:
{ x = 30
{ y = 8

means that:
The test had 30 multiple choice questions, and 8 word problems.
