An object is launched from a platform.

Mathematics
1 answer:
tankabanditka [31]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

  10

Step-by-step explanation:

Ground level is where h = 0, so solve the equation ...

  h(x) = 0

  -5(x -4)^2 +180 = 0 . . . . substitute for h(x)

  (x -4)^2 = 36 . . . . . . . . . . divide by -5, add 36

  x -4 = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . positive square root*

  x = 10 . . . . . . add 4

The object will hit the ground 10 seconds after launch.

_____

* The negative square root also gives an answer that satisfies the equation, but is not in the practical domain. That answer would be x = -2. The equation is only useful for time at and after the launch time: x ≥ 0.

2) Which equation could represent a line that is perpendicular to y= -2x +<br> 4?
pshichka [43]

Answer:

Perpendicular lines have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the given line.

For example, if a given line has the slope 3/2, the the perpendicular line would have the slope -2/3.

For the given line: y = 4x - 7, the perpendicular line would have a slope of -1/4

There isn't enough info in the question to determine the y-intercept. Literally, any y-intercept could work and the line would still be perpendicular. Is the line supposed to pass through a certain point?

Your answer would be something like: y = -1/4 x + b

b is the y-intercept...if your question paper is multiple choice, choose the answer with the slope of -1/4. If it's supposed to pass through a certain point (x,y) replace x and y with the values in that point and solve for b to get the y-intercept.

Solve for x. Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary.
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

ST = x = 1.8 (to the nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

STU is a right triangle right angled at T with S =61° and hypotenuse SU=3.7 units.

ST = x = SUcos(61°) = 3.7cos(61°) = 3.7*0.48481 = 1.7938
