Answer:

t=2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation

h = -16t²+36t+1

Next, we are asked to find how long the ball was in the air (the time, in seconds) if Casey caught the ball 9 feet above the ground (9 feet is the height).

Therefore, as 9 is the height, we can plug that into our equation to get

9 = -16t²+36t+1

To make this a quadratic equation that is easy to factor, we can subtract 9 from both sides to get

-16t²+36t-8=0

To factor this, we need to find two values that add up to 36 and multiply to (-16)*(-8) = 128. With a little guess and check, I found the numbers 32 and 4 to work well. We can then make the equation

-16t²+32t+4t-8=0

-16t(t-2) + 4(t-2) = 0

(-16t+4)(t-2) = 0

Therefore, to solve for the equation being 0, or 9 = -16t²+36t+1, either (t-2) or (-16t+4) must equal 0

t-2 = 0

t=2

-16t+4 = 0

-16t = -4

t = 1/4

Therefore, t=1/4 and/or t=2. To figure out which one it is (or both!), we can take into account that the question states "on its way down". This means that the ball goes up and then down, and we want to find t when it is going down. Using the knowledge that a ball that is hit goes up and then down, as well as that -16t²+36t-8=0 is a quadratic equation with 2 solutions, we can say that the higher value of t (t=2) represents when the ball is going down

On a certain hot​ summer's day, 744 people used the public swimming pool. The daily prices are $ 1.75 for children and $ 2.00 fo
Natali [406]

Answer:

383 children and 361 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say there are a adults and c children. Since the total number of people was 744, we can write:

a + c = 744

We also know that children's prices are $1.75 per child and adults' prices are $2 per adult. Since the total is $1392.25, we can write:

1.75c + 2a = 1392.25

Now we have a system of linear equations:

a + c = 744

1.75c + 2a = 1392.25

Multiply the first equation by 2:

2 * (a + c = 744)  ⇒  2a + 2c = 1488

Now subtract the second equation from this one:

    2a + 2c = 1488

-    2a + 1.75c = 1392.25

___________________

    0a + 0.25c = 95.75

c = 383

Plug this in to find a:

a + c = 744

a + 383 = 744

a = 361

There were 383 children and 361 adults.

This is a right triangle. All side lengths of a right triangle can be found using Pythagorean Theorem.
1. 4^2+8^2=c^2, so this means that c=\sqrt{x}80, so your first answer is 8.944.
2. 1600-625=a, so a is the square root of 975, which is 31.22.
3. c^2-a^2=b^2: 122,500-40000, so b^2 is 287.23.
4. 56.25+156.25=c^2, so c is 14.58
5. c^2-b^2=a^2, so a^2 is 67.8
Hope this helped.
