The height h (in feet) of an object dropped from a ledge after x seconds can be modeled by h(x)=−16x2+36 . The object is dropped

again from a different starting height so that it hits the ground 0.5 seconds sooner. Write a function f that models the path of the object the second time it is dropped.

Check the picture below.

\bf ~~~~~~\textit{initial velocity in feet} \\\\ h(t) = -16t^2+v_ot+h_o \quad \begin{cases} v_o=\textit{initial velocity}&\\ \qquad \textit{of the object}\\ h_o=\textit{initial height}&\\ \qquad \textit{of the object}\\ h=\textit{object's height}&\\ \qquad \textit{at "t" seconds} \end{cases}

so the object hits the ground when h(x) = 0, hmmm how long did it take to hit the ground the first time anyway?

\bf h(x)=-16x^2+36\implies \stackrel{h(x)}{0}=-16x^2+36\implies 16x^2=36 \\\\\\ x^2=\cfrac{36}{16}\implies x^2 = \cfrac{9}{4}\implies x=\sqrt{\cfrac{9}{4}}\implies x=\cfrac{\sqrt{9}}{\sqrt{4}}\implies x = \cfrac{3}{2}~~\textit{seconds}

now, we know the 2nd time around it hit the ground, h(x) = 0, but it took less time, it took 0.5 or 1/2 second less, well, the first time it took 3/2, if we subtract 1/2 from it, we get 3/2 - 1/2  = 2/2 = 1, so it took only 1 second this time then, meaning x = 1.

\bf ~~~~~~\textit{initial velocity in feet} \\\\ h(x) = -16x^2+v_ox+h_o \quad \begin{cases} v_o=\textit{initial velocity}&0\\ \qquad \textit{of the object}\\ h_o=\textit{initial height}&\\ \qquad \textit{of the object}\\ h=\textit{object's height}&0\\ \qquad \textit{at "t" seconds}\\ x=\textit{seconds}&1 \end{cases} \\\\\\ 0=-16(1)^2+0x+h_o\implies 0=-16+h_o\implies 16=h_o \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~\hfill h(x) = -16x^2+16~\hfill

quick info:

in case you're wondering what's that pesky -16x² doing there, is gravity's pull in ft/s².

66 bats were sold. Some were sold for $42 each the rest were sold for $30 each. The total sales were$2,460. Write and solve a sy
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

40 bats sold for $42

26 bats sold for $30

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 66

42x + 30y = 2460

solve first equation for y and plug in for y in second equation

42x + 30 (66 - x) = 2460

x = 40

y = 66- 40 = 26

Answer:

See below:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! My name is Galaxy and I will be helping you today, I hope you are having a nice day!

We can solve this in two steps, Comprehension and Solving. I'll go ahead and start with Comprehension.

If you have any questions feel free to ask away!!

Comprehension

We know according to the laws of geometry that all angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees.

We also know that in an isosceles angle, the base angles are equation to each other.

Now that we know what we need to know, we can setup an equation.

2x-6+(2x)=180

We can do this because first of all, we know that 2x-6 is one of the angles and as per the base angles of an isosceles triangle we know that both base angles are x, therefore we can add 2x to get 180 degrees.

I'll start solving now.

Solving

We can solve this by using the equation we made above and solving it with algebra.

2x-6+2x=180\\4x-6=180\\4x=186\\x=46.5

We know that x is equal to 46.5 degrees. We can check that by inputting it into the equation.

2(46.5)-6+2(46.5)=180?\\4(46.5)=186?\\46.5=46.5

We've proven that our answer is correct by double checking,

Therefore the answer is 46.5!

Cheers!
