The rock will hit the ground at 2 seconds.

Explanation:

Given that the height, h, in feet of a rock above the ground is given by the equation h=-16t^2+24t+16, where t is the time in seconds after the rock is thrown.

We need to determine the time at which the rock will hit the ground.

To determine the time, let us equate the height h = 0 in the equation h=-16t^2+24t+16, we get,

0=-16t^2+24t+16

Switch sides, we have,

-16 t^{2}+24 t+16=0

Let us solve the equation using the quadratic formula.

Thus, we have,

t=\frac{-24 \pm \sqrt{24^{2}-4(-16) 16}}{2(-16)}

Simplifying, we get,

t=\frac{-24 \pm \sqrt{576+1024}}{-32}

t=\frac{-24 \pm \sqrt{1600}}{-32}

t=\frac{-24 \pm 40}{-32}

Hence, the two values of t are

t=\frac{-24 + 40}{-32}   and   t=\frac{-24 -40}{-32}

Simplifying the values, we get,

t=\frac{16}{-32}  and  t=\frac{-64}{-32}

Dividing, we get,

t=-\frac{1}{2}  and  t=2

Since, t cannot negative values, we have,

t=2

Thus, the rock will hit the ground at 2 seconds.

Choose the correct simplification of the expression (−2x + 8y)(9x − 3y).
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
For these kinds of expressions use FOIL (first, outside, inside, last).

-2x • 9x = -18x^2
-2x • -3y = 6xy
8y • 9x = 72 xy
8y • -3y = -24y^2

Now combine them all:

-18x^2 + 78xy - 24y^2

Lydia bought a shirt at 20% off its retail price of $40. She paid 5% tax on the price after the discount. How much did Lydia pay
lys-0071 [83]
$33.60. 20% of 40 is 8. 40 minus 8 is 32. 5% of 32 is 1.60, with a sum of 33.60, the total for the shirt.

Savatey [412]

Answer:

 f(x) = -3|x| + 2x - 1

f(-5) = -3|-5| + 2*(-5) - 1

      = -3*5 + 2*(-5) - 1

      = -15 - 10 - 1

      = -26

Hope this helps!
