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.

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In\: \triangle PQT,\: \overline{PQ}|| \overline {RS}...(Given)\\\\\implies\frac{PS}{ST}=\frac{QR}{RT}\\(By\: Proportionality\: Theorem) \\ \\\implies\frac{2x+4}{5}=\frac{3x+5}{7}\\\\ \implies \: 7(2x + 4) = 5(3x + 5) \\  \\ \implies \:14x + 28 = 15x + 25 \\  \\ 14x - 15x = 25 - 28 \\ \\ - x =  - 3 \\  \\ x = 3

Answer:

? = 85°

Step-by-step explanation:

the sum of the interior angles of a polygon is

sum = 180° (n - 2) ← n is the number of sides

here n = 5 , then

sum = 180° × 3 = 540°

sum of the angles around a point = 360° , so

interior angle on right = 360° - 250° = 110°

sum the interior angles and equate to 540°

110° + 115° + 120° + 110° + ? = 540° , that is

455° + ? = 540° ( subtract 455° from both sides )

? = 85°
