Answer:

The projectile will hit the ground after 38.8 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the height s (t) in feet of the projectile after t seconds is given by the function

s(t) = - 16t² + 600t + 800.

To know the time at which the projectile will hit the ground, you must replace s(t) by height 0:

0=- 16t² + 600t + 800

This is a quadratic function of the form ax2 + bx + c, where a= -16, b=600 and c=800.

To solve a quadratic function, you must apply the expression:

x1,x2=\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2}-4*a*c } }{2*a}

In this case:

x1,x2=\frac{-600+-\sqrt{600^{2}-4*(-16)*800 } }{2*(-16)}

Solving:

x1,x2=\frac{-600+-\sqrt{360000+51200 } }{-32}

x1,x2=\frac{-600+-\sqrt{411200 } }{-32}

x1,x2=\frac{-600+-641.25 }{-32}

So:

x1=\frac{-600+641.25 }{-32}

x1=\frac{41.25 }{-32}

x1= -1.289 seconds

and

x2=\frac{-600-641.25 }{-32}

x2=\frac{-1241.25 }{-32}

x2= 38.789 ≅ 38.8 seconds

Time cannot be negative. So, <u><em>the projectile will hit the ground after 38.8 seconds.</em></u>

Someone plz help me with this
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

5y^{6}\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to  simplify:

\sqrt{50y^{12}}

We rewrite as:

\sqrt{2\times25 \times (y^{6})^2}

We split the radical sign to obtain:

\sqrt{25} \times \sqrt{(y^{6})^2} \times \sqrt{2}

Simplify the square root for the perfect squares to get:

5y^{6}\sqrt{2}

Therefore the simplified form is: 5y^{6}\sqrt{2}
