Answer:

It will take 6 seconds for the ball to reach the ground.

Velocity: -192\frac{\text{m}}{\text{s}}.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a ball dropped from the top of a building has a height of s =576-16t^2 meters after t seconds.

The ball will hit the ground, when height will be 0 meters, so we will equate height with 0 as:

576-16t^2=0

Let us solve for t.

576-576-16t^2=-576

-16t^2=-576

\frac{-16t^2}{-16}=\frac{-576}{-16}

t^2=36

Taking positive square root of both sides, we will get:

\sqrt{t^2}=\sqrt{36}

t=6

Therefore, it will take 6 seconds for the ball to reach the ground.

To find the ball's velocity at t=6, we will take the derivative of position function and evaluate derivative at t=6.

s=576-16t^2

s'=\frac{d}{dt}(576)-\frac{d}{dt}(16t^2)

s'=0-32t

s'(6)=-32(6)

s'(6)=-192

Therefore, the ball's velocity at the moment of impact would be -192\frac{\text{m}}{\text{s}}.

Answer:

You can use Gaussian Elimination.

Double both sides of the first equation and add the second equation.

6x + 4y = 8

5x - 4y = 3

---------------

11x      = 11

x = 1

5 - 4y = 3

-4y = -2

y = 1/2

Answer:

42/90

Step-by-step explanation:

               <u>   </u>

Let x = .46

multiply both sides by 10

            <u>    </u>

10x = 4.66

multiply both sides by 10 again

                 <u>    </u>

100x = 46.66

                         <u>    </u>       <u>    </u>

100x - 10x = 46.66 - 4.66

90x = 42

x = 42 / 90

Can be reduced to x = 21/45
