Answer:

y = (-16t-2)(t-1)

To find the zeros, let's set y = 0 and separate these two expressions in parenthesis with the zero product property.

0 = -16t-2

0 = t-1

Now let's solve for t and get two zeros.

0 = -16t-2

2 = -16t

<u>t = -1/8</u>

0 = t-1

<u>t = 1</u>

1. Our two zeros are t = -1/8 and t = 1.

2. The two zeros are not both meaningful! Remember that this is modeling time, and we don't really care about -1/8 seconds. We don't need that negative time measurement, so we just want to know what's happening at 1 second. And at one second, the ball is on the ground. Great, so we know that height of ball = 0 after 1 second.

The triangular arrangement of numbers shown is known as Pascal's triangle. Use inductive reasoning to find the 6 missing numbers
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

1 5 10 10 5 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question has been attached as an image.

Looking at the triangle, we see a pattern. The first level we have 1, in the next level we have 1 1, the next evel we have 1 2 1, the next level we have 1 3 3 1 and so on. From here, we see that to get the numbers of the next level, we have to write 1 as the first number, then add 1 to the next number after it in the previous level to get the second number in the next level then add the second number of the previous level to the next number beside it to get the third number in the next level and so on until you get to the last number before 1 in the previous level, add that number to 1 to get the second to the last number in the next level and finally put 1 as the last number in the next level. Now, we have

1 4 6 4 1

1 5 10 10 5 1

And that is the required set of numbers.

Soloha48 [4]
Suppose the original price to be x.
62%x=296.4
Divide both sides by 62% to get x=478, which is the original price.

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

X ≥9 years after 2009.

Step-by-step explanation:

Y=4x+4

Y-4=4x

X=(Y-4)/4

Y=number of U.S. households, in millions.

Y≥40

Y-4≥36

(Y-4)/4≥9

So, X≥9.
