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).

What is the volume of the prism given below?
KatRina [158]
Hi there!

Similar to the area of a triangle, it is 1/2 the area of a square. Therefore, we can multiply the base x height x length and divide it by 2 to find the volume of this figure.

WORK:
(6 x 8 x 19) / 2 = 456

ANSWER: 
Option B - 456 units^3

Hope this helps!! :)

Find the surface area. PLEASE HELP!!!!!​
jonny [76]
Since it is a cube, all sides lengths are the same.

Surface area = 2lw+2lw+2hw
if you substitute all the sides for 13 you get
2(169) three times
so you multiply and get 338 three times so you do 338x3 which is 1014 cm

its messy to explain so i attached a photo

Find the equation of the line that is parallel to x=6y-5 and that passes through (5,-3). express answer in standard form
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Final answer is x-6y=23

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the equation of the line that is parallel to x=6y-5 and that passes through (5,-3).

So first we need to find the slope of given line.

rewirite x=6y-5 in y=mx+b form

x+5=6y

\frac{1}{6}x+\frac{5}{6}=y

Compare given equation with y=mx+b

we get: m=1/6

We know that parallel equations has equal slope.

Then slope of required line m=1/6

Now plug the given point (5,-3) and slope m=1/6 into point slope formula:

y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)

y-(-3)=\frac{1}{6}\left(x-5\right)

y+3=\frac{1}{6}x-\frac{5}{6}

y=\frac{1}{6}x-\frac{5}{6}-3

y=\frac{1}{6}x-\frac{23}{6}

Now we need to rewrite that equation in standard form. Ax+By=C.

6y=x-23

x-23=6y

x-6y=23

Hence final answer is x-6y=23
