The equation $y=-4.9t^2+3.5t+5$ describes the height (in meters) of a ball thrown upward at $3.5$ meters per second from $5$ met

ers above the ground, where $t$ is the time in seconds. In how many seconds will the ball hit the ground? Express your answer as a common fraction.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The position function is

s(t)=-4.9t^2+3.5t+5 and if we are looking for the time t it takes for the ball to hit the ground, we are looking for the height of the ball when it is on the ground. Of course the height of anything on the ground is 0, so if we set s(t) = 0 and solve for t, we will find our answer.

0=-4.9t^2+3.5t+5 and factor that however you are currently factoring in class to get that

t = -.71428 seconds or

t = 1.42857 seconds (neither one of those is rational so they can't be expressed as fractions).

We all know that time will never be a negative value, so the time it takes this ball to hit the ground is

1.42857 seconds (round how you need to).

So since they are similar
AC/BC=CD/CE

so
(66-x)/30=(x+4)/5
times both sides by 5
(66-x)/6=x+4
times both sides by 6
66-x=6(x+4)
distribute
66-x=6x+24
add x to both sides
66=7x+24
minus 24 from both sides
42=7x
divide both sides by 7
6=x
x=6 units

The gas tank in the car holds 20 gallons of gasoline. You used up 4 gallons and 1 quart on your trip. How much gasoline is left
erma4kov [3.2K]
There are 4 quarts in a gallon so the amount used can be shown as 4 1/4, or 4.25 so to find out how much gas is left in the tank you simply subtract 4.25 from 20.

20-4.25

=15.75

There is 15.75, or 15 3/4, gallons of gasoline left in the tank.

Ghella [55]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find an equation in the options which is same as the equation given in the question;

The equation we are testing against is;

0.05n + 0.1d = 3.65

What we can do here is divide through by 0.01

So we will have;

0.05n/0.01 + 0.1d/0.01 = 3.65/0.01

= 5n + 10d = 365

Driving at the speed limit, it takes you 2 hours to drive your delivery truck 100 miles. assuming you drive at the same speed, h
Varvara68 [4.7K]
Speed is the rate of change of distance.
the speed of the truck for the 100 miles within 2 hours is
speed = 100 miles travelled / 2 hours taken 
speed = 50 miles/hour
assuming that the driver drives at 50 miles/hr 
the time taken to drive 50 miles is - 1 hour
therefore to drive 300 miles - it takes - 300 miles / 50 miles/hr 
the time taken is - 6 hours
it takes 6 hours to drive for 300 miles
