Answer:

A) (-1 ± √21)/ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Move all terms onto one side

$x^{2}$ = 5-x

$x^{2}$ + x - 5 = 0

Insert values into quadratic formula

a = 1 b= 1 c= - 5

[-b ± √( $b^{2}$ - 4ac)]/2a

[-1 ± √( $1^{2}$ - 4 (1(-5)]/ 2(1)

(-1 ± √21)/ 2

An object at the top of a building with height 110 feet is thrown upward with an initial speed of 23 ft/s. Find its position z(t

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Height of building is $h=110\ ft$

Initial upward velocity $u=23\ ft/s$

height of object is given by

$z(t)=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

but building is already at a height of 110 ft so z(t) must be given by

$Z(t)=ut+\frac{1}{2}(-g)t^2+110$

$Z(t)=23\times t-\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times t^2$

$Z(t)=-16t^2+23t+110$

Time when it hits is given by when Z(t)=0[/tex]

$-16t^2+23t+110=0$

$t=\frac{-23\pm \sqrt{(23)^2-4\times (-16)\times 110}}{2\times (-16)}$

$t=\frac{-23\pm 87}{-32}$

$t=3.43\ s$

Stels [109]

Answer:

The appropriate response is "0.9476".

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

Standard deviation,

$\sigma=1150$

Randomly selected railroad-car shipments,

n = 500

As we know,

⇒ $\sigma \bar{x}=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }$

On substituting the values, we get

⇒ $=\frac{1150}{\sqrt{500} }$

then,

⇒ $=P(-1.94$

⇒ $=P(Z$

On using the table of P, we get

⇒ $=0.9738 - 0.0262$

⇒ $=0.9476$

The scale factor is what u multiply the first image by to get the second image. So by dividing the second image by the first image will give u the scale factor.

6 / 1.5 = 4....so there is a scale factor of 4 because 1.5 * 4 = 6
