Answer:

<em>The ball is 8 seconds in the air.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equations</u>

The height of a ball thrown in the air is given by the equation:

h(t)=-t^2+8t

We assume the time is expressed in seconds.

The ball will be in the air while its height is positive. When its height is zero, it means the ball could be at launch time or returning to the ground level.

Setting h(t)=0:

-t^2+8t=0

Factoring:

t(-t+8)=0

There are two possible solutions:

t=0, t=8 sec

The first solution corresponds to the moment the ball is being thrown, the second solution corresponds to the moment the ball is returning to the ground, thus:

The ball is 8 seconds in the air.

Subtract -2x^2+4x-1−2x
vivado [14]

Answer:

8x²- x -8

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is not well written. I guess what you mean is:

Subtract -2x^2+4x-1 ( minus 2x squared plus 4x minus 1) from 6x^2+3x-9 (6x squared plus 3x minus 9).

To  subtract -2x^2+4x-1 from 6x^2+3x-9, that is

6x^2+3x-9 - (-2x^2+4x-1). This can be written as

6x²+3x-9 - (-2x²+4x-1)

Now, opening the bracket, we will get

6x²+3x-9 +2x²-4x+1

Then, collecting like terms, we get

6x²+2x²+3x-4x-9+1

6x²+2x² = 8x²

3x-4x = -x

-9+1 = -8

∴6x²+2x²+3x-4x-9+1 becomes

8x²-x -8

The answer is 8x²-x -8.

Justin walked 3 miles north and 6 miles west. starting from the same point, tina walked 2 miles south and 4 miles east. how far
Darya [45]
Basically, Justin and Tina's paths form two right-angled triangles whose hypotenuses(?) form a straight line between their end points. Therefore we need to find the two distances from the starting point and add them.
Justin walked 3 miles north and 6 miles west so his distance from the start is the square root of 9+36 or 45. This can be simplified to 3√5. 
Tina walked 2 miles south and 4 miles east so her distance from the starting point is the square root of 4 + 16 or 20. This can be written as 2√5.
If we add these two distances together we get 5√5. Hence, Justin and Tina are 5√5 miles away from each other.

Numbers AMBER<br> 1<br> Explain how we know V30 lies between 5 and 6.
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

5² = 25 and 6² = 36

(\sqrt{30} )² = 30

Then

25 < 30 < 36

Thus \sqrt{30} lies between 5 and 6

1) A 1.5 kg apple pie is sitting on the kitchen counter . If it has 13.44 J of gravitational potential energy, how tall is the c
seropon [69]
So the equation you’ll use for both is
WP = mg • h
It’s delta height generally.

1.) .9 m = h

2.) 216 = WP

I would’ve sent a screenshot, but the app wouldn’t let me.
