Answer:

5 secs

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the object is given as:

h = -16t^2+48t+160

The moment when the object hits the ground, the height of the object will be 0 m.

Hence:

0 = -16t^2+48t+160

Solving this for t:

Divide through by 16 and move all parameters to the left hand side:

t^2-3t-10 = 0

t^2 - 5t + 2t - 10 = 0\\\\\\t(t - 5) + 2(t - 5) = 0\\\\\\(t + 2)(t - 5) = 0\\\\\\=> t = -2, 5

Since time cannot be negative, time, t = 5 secs.

The object will hit the ground after 5 secs.

Answer: 9516793/9765625

Step-by-step explanation:

We can subtract the probability none of them have been vaccinated from 1.

If 52% of people are vaccinated, then 48% of people are not vaccinated.

Thus, the probability is 1-(0.48)^{5} =\frac{9516793}{9765625}

Oliga [24]

Answer:

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

x+x+x=54

(x+x+x)=54(Combine Like Terms)

3x=54

3x=54

Step 2: Divide both sides by 3.

3x  3 = 54

3 x=18
