Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The position formula for this is actually

$s(t)=-16t^2+64$

It says, in not so may words, that the object was dropped under the influence of gravity from a height of 64 feet. When it hits, the ground, it will not be above ground at all anymore...it will be ON the ground and have a height of 0. Therefore, if we set the position function equal to 0 and solve for t, we are finding out how long it will take for the object to hit the ground.

$0=-16t^2+64$ and

$16t^2=64$ and

$t^2=4$ and

t = 2

It takes 2 seconds for the object to hit the ground from 64 feet up.

Sauron [17]

Answer:

$60\% \: of \: 94 \\ = \frac{60}{100} \times 94 \\ = \frac{3}{5} \times \frac{94}{1} \\ = 18.4 \times 3 \\ = 55.2$

Write the equation of a hyperbola with vertices (0, -4) and (0, 4) and foci (0, -5) and (0, 5).

andre [41]

Check the picture below. So, more or less looks like so.

notice, the center is clearly at the origin, and notice how long the "a" component is, also, bear in mind that, is opening towards the y-axis, that means the fraction with the "y" variable is the positive one.

Also notice, the "c" distance from the center to either foci, is just 5 units.

$\bf \textit{hyperbolas, vertical traverse axis }\\\\
\cfrac{(y-{{ k}})^2}{{{ a}}^2}-\cfrac{(x-{{ h}})^2}{{{ b}}^2}=1
\qquad 
\begin{cases}
center\ ({{ h}},{{ k}})\\
vertices\ ({{ h}}, {{ k}}\pm a)\\
c=\textit{distance from}\\
\qquad \textit{center to foci}\\
\qquad \sqrt{{{ a }}^2+{{ b }}^2}
\end{cases}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\$

$\bf \begin{cases}
h=0\\
k=0\\
a=4\\
c=5
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{(y-{{ 0}})^2}{{{ 4}}^2}-\cfrac{(x-{{ 0}})^2}{{{ b}}^2}=1\implies \cfrac{y^2}{16}-\cfrac{x^2}{b^2}=1
\\\\\\
c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}\implies c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \sqrt{c^2-a^2}=b
\\\\\\
\sqrt{5^2-4^2}=b\implies \boxed{3=b}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{y^2}{16}-\cfrac{x^2}{3^2}=1\implies \boxed{\cfrac{y^2}{16}-\cfrac{x^2}{9}=1}$

$\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{1\cdot5}{2\cdot5}=\dfrac{5}{10}=0.5=0.50\\\\\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{3\cdot25}{4\cdot25}=\dfrac{75}{100}=0.75\\\\0.50\ \boxed{ \ \textless \ 0.51 \ \textless \ 0.52 \ \textless \ ... \ \textless \ 0.73 \ \textless \ 0.74} \ \textless \ \ 0.75\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}\ \boxed{\ \textless \ \dfrac{51}{100} \ \textless \ \dfrac{52}{100}=\dfrac{13}{25} \ \textless \ ... \ \textless \ \dfrac{73}{100} \ \textless \ \dfrac{74}{100}=\dfrac{37}{50}}\ \ \textless \ 0.75$
