Answer:

x + y + z = - 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Reciprocal of a : - 6,

Reciprocal of b : 2

Therefore if x is the sum of the reciprocals of a and b, it will be - 6 + 2 = - 4. x will be - 4.

Respectively if y is the product of the reciprocals of a and b, it will be - 6 * 2 = - 12. y is - 12. And if z is twice the reciprocal of a / the reciprocal of b, it will be the following,

z = 2(- 6) / 2

= - 12 / 2 = - 6

And x + y + z = - 4 - 12 - 6 = - 22. That is your solution.

Due to gravity, an object falls 16t^2 feet in t seconds. You drop a backpack from a window that is 20 feet above the ground. Wil
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

NO

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h(t) represent the distance the pack is located above the ground at time t.  Then h(t) = 20 ft - 16t^2 ft.  Notice how h = 20 ft (the initial height) and that it decreases as t increases.

How long does it take for the pack tohit the ground?  Set h(t) = 0 and solve for t:

0 ft = 20 ft - 16t^2 ft yields 16t^2 ft = 20, or t^2 ft = 20/16, which is greater than 1.  So the question "Will the backpack hit the ground in 1 second" is answered by NO.
