A ball is thrown downward from the top of a 240​-foot building with an initial velocity of 12 feet per second. The height of the

ball h in feet after t seconds is given by the equation h=-16t^2 - 12t + 240. How long after the ball is thrown will it strike the​ ground?

Answer:

16t^2 +12 t -240 =0

And we can use the quadratic formula given by:

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

Where a = 16, b = 12, c =-240. And replacing we got:

t = \frac{-12 \pm \sqrt{(12^2) -4*(16)(-240)}}{2*16}

And after solve we got:

t_1 = 3.516 s , t_2 = -4.266s

Since the time cannot be negative our final solution would be t = 3.516 s  

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following function given:

h(t) = -16t^2 -12 t +240

And we want to find how long after the ball is thrown will it strike the​ ground, so we want to find the value of t that makes the equation of h equal to 0

0 = -16t^2 -12 t +240

And we can rewrite the expression like this:

16t^2 +12 t -240 =0

And we can use the quadratic formula given by:

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

Where a = 16, b = 12, c =-240. And replacing we got:

t = \frac{-12 \pm \sqrt{(12^2) -4*(16)(-240)}}{2*16}

And after solve we got:

t_1 = 3.516 s , t_2 = -4.266s

Since the time cannot be negative our final solution would be t = 3.516 s

Solve for x.

Answer:

a \: \:  x =  \frac{ -1 ±  i\sqrt{139}}{14}

Explanation:

Since this is unfactorable, use the Quadratic Formula:

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

Now, take the information and input it:

-1 ± \frac{ \sqrt{1 - 4(7)(5)}}{2(7)} \\  \\ -1 ± \frac{ \sqrt{ -139}}{ 14} = \frac{-1 ±  i\sqrt{139}}{14}

I am joyous to assist you anytime.

Elise has to use the information given below to find the original number. Write an equation to represent the situation. What is
lilavasa [31]
Let x= original number
equation: 2x+24=2/7 x
move 2x over to the other side of the equation to get 24=-12/7 x. Then, multiply both sides of the equation by -7/12 to isolate the variable.
The final answer should be x=-14

HELP PLS!!! find x and y please show steps
loris [4]

Answer:

<h3>            x = 7 ,   y = 7√2</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of measures of angles in triangle is 180°

so:

180° - 90° - 45° = 45°

two angles angles of the same measure, that means: x = 7

so:

      7^2+7^2=y^2\\\\y^2=7^2\cdot2\\\\y=\sqrt{7^2\cdot2}\\\\\bold{y=7\sqrt2}
