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.

7^8 divide by 7y =7^6 find the value of y
lisabon 2012 [21]
Answer: y = 7

Explanation:

7^8/7y = 7^6
7^7/y = 7^6
In order for 7^7 to become 7^6 you need to divide by 7

Which mean y = 7

So that:
7^7/7= 7^6
7^6 = 7^6

frank reasoned that in the number 0.555, the valueof the 5 in the thousandths place is ten times the value of the 5 in the hundr
ollegr [7]

The reasoning of Frank is not correct. The value of 5 is the thousandths place is 1/10 times the value of 5 in the hundredths place instead of being 10 times.

In the question, we are given the number 0.555.

We can write it as:-

0.555 = 0.500 + 0.050 + 0.005

0.500 is the value of tenths place

0.050 is the value of hundredths place

0.005 is the value of thousandths place

We know that,

0.050*(1/10) = 0.050/10 = 0.005

Hence, the value of 5 is the thousandths place is 1/10 times the value of 5 in the hundredths place.
