the assumption being that the endpoints are two continuous points in the pentagon, Check picture below.

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{3})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ d=\sqrt{[2-(-1)]^2+[3-4]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(2+1)^2+(3-4)^2} \\\\\\ d=\sqrt{9+1}\implies d=\sqrt{10}~\hfill \stackrel{\stackrel{~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{5 sides}}{}}{\textit{perimeter of the pentagon}}}{5\sqrt{10}}$

A football is kicked from the ground and follows the graph of the function y = –t2 + 3t, where y represents height and t represe

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The height of the objects are the same after 2 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate at which time both objects have the same height we need to find the value of t that makes both equations equal. Therefore:

$-t^2 + 3t = -t + 4\\t^2 - 3t - t + 4 = 0\\t^2 - 4t + 4 = 0\\t_{1,2} = \frac{-(-4) \pm \sqrt{(-4)^2 - 4*1*4}}{2*1} = \frac{4 \pm \sqrt{16 - 16}}{2}\\t_{1,2} = \frac{4}{2} = 2$
