Number of possible combinations = (4x3) ÷ 2 = 6
Answer: There are 6 possible combinations.
We want to know the time, <em>t</em>, it takes the ball to reach a height (<em>y</em>) of 0.

We can factor out the GCF first. The largest number that will divide evenly into 16 and 24 is 8. Also, both terms have a <em>t</em>, so we can factor that out as well:

(-16/8 = -2 and 24/8 = 3)
Using the zero product property, we know that either 8t=0 or -2t+3=0. Solving the first equation, we would divide both sides by 8:
8t/8=0/8
t=0
This is at 0 seconds, before the ball is in the air at all.
Solving the second equation, we start by subtracting 3 from both sides:
-2t+3-3=0-3
-2t=-3
Now we divide both sides by -2
-2t/-2=-3/-2
t=1.5
After 1.5 seconds, the ball will hit the ground again.
The square root 5 is irrational because a square root of a positive number is either an integer or irrational number. Therefore it is irrational.
Answer: 216
Step-by-step explanation:
The LCM of 24 and 54 is 216. To find the least common multiple of 24 and 54, we need to find the multiples of 24 and 54 (multiples of 24 = 24, 48, 72, 96 . . . . 216; multiples of 54 = 54, 108, 162, 216) and choose the smallest multiple that is exactly divisible by 24 and 54, i.e., 216.
