Super Dave Osborne stands at the bottom of a canyon elevation 256 feet below sea level, he throws a piano up at a velocity of 3

20 feet per second the piano lands on the edge of the cliff at zero elevation . The flight of the piano is modeled by the equation f( x ) = −16t2 2 + 320t − 256. The piano was in the air for exactly how many seconds

Answer:

The piano was in the air for 18.34 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the piano after t seconds is given by the following equation:

f(t) = -16t^{2} + 320t - 256

Initially, the piano is below the ground level. At the first root of the equation, it will go into the air, and then some time after that it will fall down again, which is at the second root of the equation.

Roots of a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0.

This polynomial has roots x_{1}, x_{2} such that ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2}), given by the following formulas:

x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}

x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}

\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac

In this question:

f(t) = -16t^{2} + 320t - 256

So

a = -16, b = 320, c = -256

\bigtriangleup = (320)^{2} - 4*(-16)*(-256) = 86016

t_{1} = \frac{-320 + \sqrt{86016}}{2*(-16)} = 0.8348

t_{2} = \frac{-320 - \sqrt{86016}}{2*(-16)} = 19.17

Subtracting:

19.17 - 0.8348 = 18.34

The piano was in the air for 18.34 seconds.

Convert ( 4 , 300 ∘ ) to rectangular form.
Rasek [7]

The rectangular representation of the polar point of (4 , 300) is (2,- 2√3)

According to the statement

we have given a coordinates of the rectangle and we have to find the polar coordinates.

So, For this purpose, we know that the

We Use the conversion formulas to convert from polar coordinates to rectangular coordinates which are

x = rcosθ

y = rsinθ

Substitute the given values in it then

x=(4)cos(300)

y=(4)sin(300)

Apply the reference angle by finding the angle with equivalent trig values in the first quadrant.

x=(4)cos(60) -(1)

y= - (4)sin(60) -(2)

And then

x=(4)cos(60)  

x=(4)(1/2)

x = 2 -(3)

and

y= - (4)sin(60)

y= - (4)(√3/2)

y= - 2√3 -(4)

Replace (3) with (1) and (4) with (2)

then it becomes

x = 2 and y= - 2√3

The rectangular representation of the polar point of (4 , 300) is (2,- 2√3)

The complement of an angle is 25 less than 3 times the angles itself. Find the measure of each
Semenov [28]

Answer: 28.75° and 61.25°

Step-by-step explanation:

A complementary angle equals 90°.

Let the measure of the angle be a

Therefore, its complement will be:

= 90-a.

The complement of an angle is 25 less than 3 times the angles itself can be written as:

90-a = 3a - 25

90 + 25 = 3a + a

115 = 4a

a = 115/4

a= 28.75

Since the angle is 28.75°, the complement will be:

= 90° - 28.75°

= 61.25°

The angles are 28.75° and 61.25°
