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.

What is the length of arc S shown below? Enter an exact expression.
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

S = 15π = 47.12

length of arc S = 15π

Attached is the image of the arc.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Radius arc r = 10

Angle at the center of arc ⍉ = 3π/2

The length of the arc S can be derived using the formula;

S = r × ⍉

Substituting the values;

S = 10 × 3π/2

S = 30π/2

S = 15π =  47.12

length of arc S = 15π

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-9,-4) and (-9,4).
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

x = -9 would be the slope because when you see the two points for each coordinate there is no x value but we do see a straight line and we see that there is no y-intercept. So, x= -9 would be the answer. Hope this helps.

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

11.0344828%

Step-by-step explanation:

145000 - 129000 = 16000.

16000/145000 = 16/145 = 0.110344828

Therefore there was a 11.0344828% decrease
