Sean tossed a coin off a bridge into the stream below. The path of the coin can be represented by the equation 2 h tt = − 16t^2+

72t+ 100 (where t is time in seconds and h is height in feet) How long will it take the coin to reach the stream?

Answer:

It will take 5.61 seconds for the coin to reach the stream.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

h(t) = -16t^{2} + 72t + 100

How long will it take the coin to reach the stream?

The stream is the ground level.

So the coin reaches the stream when h(t) = 0.

h(t) = -16t^{2} + 72t + 100

-16t^{2} + 72t + 100 = 0

Multiplying by (-1)

16t^{2} - 72t - 100 = 0

Solving 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:

16t^{2} - 72t - 100 = 0

So

a = 16, b = -72, c = -100

\bigtriangleup = (-72)^{2} - 4*16*(-100) = 11584

t_{1} = \frac{-(-72) + \sqrt{11584}}{2*16} = 5.61

t_{2} = \frac{-(-72) - \sqrt{11584}}{2*16} = -1.11

Time is a positive measure, so we take the positive value.

It will take 5.61 seconds for the coin to reach the stream.

Why will the value of y for the function y equals 5x + 1 always be greater than that of y equals 4x + 1 with X greater than 1?
klemol [59]
You mean
the linear equations, 5x-y+1=0,4x-y+1=0
the slopes are 5 and 4 respectively.
it is clear that slope of first equation is greater that is it has a steeper graph therefore it Will always be greater than the other for x > 1
the same can be done by calculus; differentiation.

note y=5x+1 is always greater than y=4x+1 for all x>1
