Answer:

c) 18 units

d) 1 second

Step-by-step explanation:

h = -16t² - 4t + 20

c) t = 0.25

h = -16(0.25)² - 4(0.25) + 20

h = 18

d) -16t² - 4t + 20 = 0

4t² + t - 5 = 0

4t² + 5t - 4t - 5 = 0

t(4t + 5) - (4t + 5) = 9

(4t + 5)(t - 1) = 0

t = -1.25, 1

t = 1 second

A positive real number is 2 less than another. When 4 times the larger is added to the square of the smaller, the result is 49.

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

The numbers are

$-2+3\sqrt{5}$ and $3\sqrt{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the smaller positive real number

y -----> the larger positive real number

we know that

A positive real number is 2 less than another

so

$x=y-2$

$y=x+2$ ----> equation A

When 4 times the larger is added to the square of the smaller, the result is 49

so

$4y+x^2=49$ ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

$4(x+2)+x^2=49$

solve for x

$x^2+4x-41=0$

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

$ax^{2} +bx+c=0$

is equal to

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$x^2+4x-41=0$

so

$a=1\\b=4\\c=-41$

substitute in the formula

$x=\frac{-4\pm\sqrt{4^{2}-4(1)(-41)}} {2(1)}$

$x=\frac{-4\pm\sqrt{180}} {2}$

$x=\frac{-4\pm6\sqrt{5}} {2}$

$x=-2\pm3\sqrt{5}$

so

The positive real number is

$x=-2+3\sqrt{5}$

Find the value of y

$y=x+2$

$y=-2+3\sqrt{5}+2$

$y=3\sqrt{5}$

Miles is planning to spend 2/3 as many hours bicycling this week as he did last week. Is Miles going to spend more hours or fewe

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Fewer hours

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 is a fraction and shows the parts of a whole. This means that 2/3 of last week is fewer than last week. Last week is the whole for example 15 hours. This week will be 2/3 or 2/3*15 = 10 hours. This week will be less than last week.

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!<br> Find x given y = 76° in the figure below.<br> x = <br> °

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

104°

Step-by-step explanation:

The straight line for $q$ forms an angle of 180°

Therefore,

$x+y=180$

$x+76=180$

$x=180-76$

$x=104$

Answer:

c. 45.34ft

Step-by-step explanation:

When leg one of the triangle is 15ft and leg two is 17 ft you would take 17^2 + 15^2 and then you find the square root of that (514) to get the hypotenuse of the triangle. After that you multiply by two to account for the 2/2 sqaure foot per each unit
