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.

After arianna completed some work, she figured she still had 78 21/100 pictures to paint. if she completed another 34 23/25 pict
dezoksy [38]

Subtract the number she completed from what she had left to paint originally.

The fractions have different denominators so first step is to rewrite the fractions with a common denominator.

23/25 can be rewritten as 92/100

Now you have 78 21/100 - 34 92/100

Because 21/100 is smaller than 92/100 subtract 1 whole number from 78 and rewrite 1 as 100/100 and add that to the fraction.

78 21/100 becomes 77 121/100

Now subtract :

77 121/100 - 34 92/100

77-34 = 43

And 121/100 - 92/100 = 29/100

Combine to get 43 and 29/100

8_murik_8 [283]
2 hours = 45 pages

1 hour = 45 ÷ 2 = 22.5 pages

12 hours = 22.5 x 12 = 270 pages

Write the sum using summation notation, assuming the suggested pattern continues. 5 - 15 + 45 - 135 + ...
nalin [4]

Answer:

<em>summation of five times negative three to the power of n from n equals zero to infinity</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Summation Notation </u>

It represents the sum of a finite or infinite number of terms. Let's analyze the terms of the given succession:

5-15+45-135+...

If we take 5 as a common factor, we have

5(1-3+9-27+...)

The parentheses contain the alternate sum/subtraction of powers of 3. The odd terms are positive, the even terms are negative, thus the exponent must be n starting from 0 or n-1 starting from 1

The summation is then represented by

\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}5(-3)^n

This corresponds with the option:

<u>summation of five times negative three to the power of n from n equals zero to infinity</u>
