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.

Find the x and y intercept of 8x+10y=15. NO LINK TO ANSWER PLEASE TYPE
oee [108]

Answer:

x intercept: 15/8 and yintercerpt is 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

to find y intercept you have to put equation in standard form.

10y=-8x+15

y=--4/5x+3/2

x intercept is when y=0, so we plug in 0

0=-4/5x+3/2

4/5x=3/2

x=15/8
