Answer:

a = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

15 - a = 20

Move the constant of 15 to the other side by subtracting it.

-a = 5

Divide by -1 to make a positive.

a = -5

Check.

15 - (-5) = 20

15 + 5 = 20

20 = 20

A waterfall has a height of 900 feet. A pebble is thrown upward from the top of the falls with an initial velocity of 24 feet pe
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

The pebble will hit the ground 8.29 second after it is thrown.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The height of the pebble after t seconds is given by the equation

h= -16t²+24 t+900.

When the pebble hit the ground, the height of the pebble will be zero.

So putting h=0 in the given equation.

0 = -16t²+24 t+900

⇒-4(4t²-6t-225)=0

⇒4t²-6t-225=0

Applying quadratic formula t=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}, here a=4, b= -6 and c= -225.

\therefore t=\frac{-(-6)\pm\sqrt{(-6)^2-4.4.(-225)}}{2.4}

⇒ t = 8.29, -6.79

Since time can not negative.

∴t=8.29 seconds.

The pebble will hit the ground 8.29 second after it is thrown.

Determine the equation of the line with slope 5 that passes through the point M(1, 2).
Nezavi [6.7K]
You're already given the slope, so the first step you must take is to find the y-intercept. To do this, you substitute the values of the coordinate M into y = 5x + c, with the x value substituting x and the y value substituting y. This gives us:
2 = (5 × 1) + c
2 = 5 + c
- 5
-3 = c

So now you know that the y-intercept is -3, you can see that your final answer must be the first option, y = 5x - 3.

I hope this helps!
