F(t) = -5t^2 + 20t + 60
-5(t^2 - 4t - 12)
-5(t + 2) (t - 6)
t = -2 or t = 6

Answer:

6 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a function formula f(t)=-5t^2+20t+60 that models the approximate height of an object  t seconds after it is launched.

To find the number of seconds it will take the object to hit the ground, we need to find the zeros of our given function.

-5t^2+20t+60=0

Upon dividing our equation by -5 we will get,

t^2-4t-12=0

We will factor our given equation by splitting the middle term as:

t^2-6t+2t-12=0

t(t-6)+2(t-6)=0

(t-6)(t+2)=0

(t-6)=0\text{ or }(t+2)=0

t=6\text{ or }t=-2

Since time cannot be negative, therefore, it will take the object 6 seconds to hit the ground.

Find the mean, median, and mode of the data set. Round to the nearest tenth. 15, 13, 9, 9, 7, 1, 11, 10, 13, 1, 13 mean = 8.5, m
jasenka [17]

Answer:

Mean = 9.3

Median = 10

Mode = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the mean, you would have to add up all of the numbers (102), then divide how many numbers you have with the numbers added up (9.3). To get the median, you would have to put all of the numbers that you have, in order, from least to greatest and cross off each number, one from each side before getting to the number in the middle (unless if you have an even number; works better with odd numbers, which is easier). To get the mode, you would need to find out which number appears the most, and, if there is more than one, you can put the numbers down. Hope this helps.
