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.

6. In right triangle ABC, mZC=3y-10,
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

scalene

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the value of y

we know that

The sum of the interior angles in a triangle must be equal to 180 degrees

In this problem

m∠A+m∠B+m∠C=180°

substitute the given values

90\°+(y+40)\°+(3y-10)\°=180\°

Solve for y

4y+120=180

4y=180-120

4y=60

y=15

step 2

<em>Find the measure of angle B</em>

m∠B=(y+40)°

substitute the value of y

m∠B=(15+40)=55°

step 3

<em>Find the measure of angle C</em>

m∠C=(3y-10)°

substitute the value of y

m∠C=(3(15)-10)=35°

The three interior angles are different

so

The three sides of the ABC triangle will also be different

therefore

The right triangle ABC is scalene
