Answer:

4 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of months be x

Alligator 1 weight = 4 + 2x

Alligator 2 weight = 8 + x

4 + 2x = 8 + x
2x - x = 8 - 4
x = 4

The answer is 4 months

A projectile is launched into the air. The function h(t) = –16t2 + 32t + 128 gives the height, h, in feet, of the projectile t s

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

t = 4 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the projectile after it is launched is given by the function :

$h(t)=-16t^2+32t+128$

t is time in seconds

We need to find after how many seconds will the projectile land back on the ground. When it land, h(t)=0

So,

$-16t^2+32t+128=0$

The above is a quadratic equation. It can be solved by the formula as follows :

$t=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

Here, a = -16, b = 32 and c = 128

$t=\dfrac{-32\pm \sqrt{(32)^2-4\times (-16)(128)} }{2\times (-16)}\\\\t=\dfrac{-32+ \sqrt{(32)^2-4\times (-16)(128)} }{2\times (-16)}, \dfrac{-32\- \sqrt{(32)^2-4\times (-16)(128)} }{2\times (-16)}\\\\t=-2\ s\ \text{and}\ 4\ s$

Neglecting negative value, the projectile will land after 4 seconds.

Find the missing side lengths. Leave your answer as radicals in simplest form.

Ronch [10]

Answer:

Hence x = y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the SOH CAH TOA identity

Hypotenuse = 2√2

Opposite = x

theta = 45

Sin theta = opp/hyp

Sin 45 =x/2√2

1/√2 = x/2√2

x = 2√2 * 1/√2

x = 2

To get y we will use the pythagoras theorem;

(2√2)² = x² +y²

(2√2)² = 2²+y²

8 = 4 + y²

y² = 8-4

y² = 4

y = √4

y = 2

Hence x = y = 2
