An astronaut on the moon throws a baseball upward. The astronaut is 6 ft 6 in tall, and the initial velocity of the ball is 40 f

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

t = 0.293 s and 14.52 s

Step-by-step explanation:

The heights of the ball in feet is given by the equation as follows :

$S = -2.7t^2+40t+6.5$

Where t is the number of seconds after the ball was thrown.

We need to find is the ball 18 ft above the moon's surface.

Put S = 18 ft

$-2.7t^2+40t+6.5=18\\\\-2.7t^2+40t=18-6.5\\\\-2.7t^2+40t-11.5=0$

It is a quadratic equation. Its solution is given by :

$t=\dfrac{-40+\sqrt{40^{2\ }-4\left(-2.7\right)\left(-11.5\right)}}{2\left(-2.7\right)},\dfrac{-40-\sqrt{40^{2\ }-4\left(-2.7\right)\left(-11.5\right)}}{2\left(-2.7\right)}\\\\t=0.293\ s,14.52\ s$

So, the ball is at first 0.293 s and then 14.52 s above the Moon's surface.

Um help! how do I do this?

valkas [14]

1/2 t-4(2+t)=20
1/2 t-8-4t=20
least common multiple=2
t-16-8t=40
-7t=40+16
-7t=56
t=56/-7=-8

Answer: t=-8

To check
-8/2 - 4(2-8)=-4-4(-6)=-4+24=20

|1/2b-8|=|1/4b-1|<br> b=____ and ____

Deffense [45]

Answer:

b = 12 and 28

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value equation |1/2b-8| = |1/4b-1| resolves to a piecewise linear function with three pieces. There are two solutions.

<h3>Domains</h3>

The absolute value function on the left has a turning point where its value is zero:

1/2b -8 = 0

b -16 = 0

b = 16

The absolute value function on the right has a turning point where its value is zero:

1/4b -1 = 0

b -4 = 0

b = 4

For b > 16, both absolute value functions are identity functions. In this domain, the equation is ...

1/2b -8 = 1/4b -1

For 4 < b < 16, the function on the left negates its argument, so the equation in this domain is ...

-(1/2b -8) = 1/4b -1

For b < 4, both functions negate their arguments, so the equation in this domain is ...

-(1/2b -8) = -(1/4b -1)

For the purpose of finding the value of b, this is effectively identical to the equation for b > 16. (The value of b does not change if we multiply both sides of the equation by -1.)

<h3>Solutions</h3>

<u>Domain b < 4 ∪ 16 < b</u>

1/2b -8 = 1/4b -1

2b -32 = b -4 . . . . . . . . multiply by 4

b = 28 . . . . . . . . . . . . add 32-b to both sides

This solution is in the domain of the equation, so is one of the solutions to the original equation.

<u>Domain 4 < b < 16</u>

-(1/2b -8) = 1/4b -1 . . . . equation in this domain

-2b +32 = b -4 . . . . . . multiply by 4

36 = 3b . . . . . . . . . . . add 2b+4 to both sides

12 = b . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

This solution is in the domain of the equation, so is the other solution to the original equation.

<h3>Graph</h3>

For the purposes of the graph, we have define the function g(b) to be the difference of the two absolute value functions. The solutions are found where g(x) = 0, the x-intercepts. The graph shows those to be ...

b = 12 and b = 28

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

Defining g(b) = |1/2b-8| -|1/4b-1|, we can rewrite it as ...

$g(b)=\begin{cases}7-\dfrac{1}{4}b&\text{for }b < 4\\-\dfrac{3}{4}b+9&\text{for }4\le b < 16\\\dfrac{1}{4}b-7&\text{for }16\le b\end{cases}$

Then the solutions are the values of b that make g(b) = 0.
