In a video game, a bird is flung on a sling shot and follows a parabolic path. The path of the bird can be modeled by the equati

on h=-16t²+55t+4, where h is the height of the bird and t is the amount of time, in seconds, the bird had been in the air. How long will it take the bird to reach a height of 40 feet in the air for the first time?

Answer:

The bird will take 0.88 seconds to reach a height of 40 feet in the air for the first time

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

h=-16t^2+55t+4

This is a vertical parabola open downward

The vertex represent a maximum

where

h is the height of the bird

t is the amount of time, in seconds, the bird had been in the air

For h=40 ft

substitute in the quadratic equation

40=-16t^2+55t+4

-16t^2+55t+4-40=0

-16t^2+55t-36=0

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

ax^{2} +bx+c=0

is equal to

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}

in this problem we have

-16t^2+55t-36=0

so

a=-16\\b=55\\c=-36

substitute in the formula

x=\frac{-55\pm\sqrt{55^{2}-4(-16)(-36)}} {2(-16)}

x=\frac{-55\pm\sqrt{721}} {-32}

x=\frac{-55+\sqrt{721}} {-32}=0.88\ sec

x=\frac{-55-\sqrt{721}} {-32}=2.56\ sec

therefore

The bird will take 0.88 seconds to reach a height of 40 feet in the air for the first time

If L || m, solve for x (9x+2) 119
algol13

Answer:

13.4

Step-by-step explanation:

(9x+2) 119  to solve for x you need to isolate it so subtract 119 so the equation would look like this  (9x+2) = -119. Once you do that you are going to subtract 2 from both sides of the equation (9x)= -121. And now you divide by 9 and you have your answer x= 13.4.

the area of a triangle is 384 square feet. If its base is 8 feet longer than its altitude, find the length of the base and the a
REY [17]
A=1/2bh
b=8+h
A=384

384=1/2(bh)
times 2
768=bh
sub
768=b(8+b)
768=8b+b^2
minus 768 both sides
0=b^2+8b-768
factor
0=(b-24)(b+32)
set to zero
b-24=0
b=24

b+32=0
minus 32
b=-32
false, legnths cannot be negative

b=24
24=8+h
minus 8
16=h

base=24ft
