It would be helpful if you draw the situation in the problem. We will see that a right triangle is made from the system. By using knowledge on trigonometric functions, we can calculate for the height of the roller coaster. We do as follows:

tan (65) = height / 130
height = 278.79 ft

Hope this answers the question.

Answer: The total profit is $129

Step-by-step explanation:

The total revenue, was $147 (the total they earned), and the cost of the materials is $18 (how much they returned for the materials)

The total profit is computed as the difference between the revenue and the costs, then the total profit of the kids in this case is:

Profit = $147 - $18 = $129

This means that Tia and Jaden earned $129, if they divide it evenly, each one of them gets $129/2 = $64.5

An object launched vertically from a point that is 37.5 feet above ground level with an initial velocity of 48.6 feet per second
Elis [28]

Answer: 3.675 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, when the object hits the ground, h=0:

h=−16t^2+48.6t+37.5

0=−16t^2+48.6t+37.5

We have to apply the quadratic formula:  

For: ax2+ bx + c  

x =[ -b ± √b²-4ac] /2a  

Replacing with the values given:  

a=-16 ; b=48.6; c=37.5

x =[ -(48.6) ± √(-48.6)²-4(-16)37.5] /2(-16)  

x = [ -48.6 ± √ 4,761.96] /-32

x = [ -48.6 ± 69] /-32

Positive:  

x = [ -48.6 + 69] /-32 = -0.6375

Negative:  

x = [ -48.6 - 69] /-32 = 3.675 seconds (seconds can't be negative)

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
