Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(5/6) itself is less than 1 (but greater than 0). Thus, anything multiplied by (5/6) will result in a smaller-by-magnitude quantity.

For example, (5/6)(3/4) is LESS than 3/4 because 5/6 is greater than zero but less than 1.

An object is dropped from a bridge and allowed to freefall to the ground. The height of the object over time can be modeled usin

kkurt [141]

Answer:

<em>t = 3 seconds</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation, as a function of time, that describes the height of the object that is dropped from the bridge.

The equation is:

$h (t) = 144 - 16t ^ 2$

Where t is the time in seconds and h is the height in feet.

To know how long it takes the object to fall to the ground we do h (t) = 0 and solve for t.

So:

$0 = 144 - 16t ^ 2\\\\16t ^ 2 = 144\\\\t ^ 2 = \frac{144}{16}\\\\t ^ 2 = 9\\\\t_1 = 3\\t_2 = -3$

We take the positive solution.

Therefore the object takes 3 seconds to reach the ground

Danielle worked three days last week for a total of 18.25 hours. She worked 6.5 hours on Monday and 5.75 hours on Wednesday. How

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

She worked for 6 hours on Saturday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of hours worked by Danielle last week = 18.25 hours

She worked for three days, Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.

Let she worked on Saturday = x hours

Therefore, total hours worked by Danielle in three days = 6.5 + 5.75 + x

And the equation will be,

6.5 + 5.75 + x = 18.25

12.25 + x = 18.25

x = 18.25 - 12.25

x = 6

Therefore, she worked for 6 hours on Saturday.
