An astronaut on the moon throws a baseball upward. the astronaut is 6​ ft, 6 in.​ tall, and the initial velocity of the ball is

50 ft per sec. the height s of the ball in feet is given by the equation s=-2.7t^2+50t+6.5 ​, where t is the number of seconds after the ball was thrown. complete parts a and b.
A) After how many seconds is the ball 10 ft above the​ moon's surface?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The position function is

s(t)=-2.7t^2+50t+6.5 and if we are looking for the time(s) that the ball is 10 feet above the surface of the moon, we sub in a 10 for s(t) and solve for t:

10=-2.7t^2+50t+6.5 and

0=-2.7t^2+50t-3.5 and factor that however you are currently factoring quadratics in class to get

t = .07 sec and t = 18.45 sec

There are 2 times that the ball passes 10 feet above the surface of the moon, once going up (.07 sec) and then again coming down (18.45 sec).

For part B, we are looking for the time that the ball lands on the surface of the moon. Set the height equal to 0 because the height of something ON the ground is 0:

0=-2.7t^2+50t+6.5 and factor that to get

t = -.129 sec and t = 18.65 sec

Since time can NEVER be negative, we know that it takes 18.65 seconds after launch for the ball to land on the surface of the moon.

What is the least positive integer divisible by the numbers 2, 4, and 7?
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Least positive integer divisible by the numbers 2, 4, and 7 is  28

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the least positive integer divisible by the numbers 2, 4, and 7 by taking the LCM

First lets List all prime factors for each number.

Prime Factorization of 2

2 is prime  =>  2^1

Prime Factorization of 4 is:

2 x 2  =>  2^2

Prime Factorization of 7 is:

7 is prime  => 7^1

For each prime factor, find where it occurs most often as a factor and write it that many times in a new list.

The new superset list is

2, 2, 7

Multiply these factors together to find the LCM.

LCM = 2 x 2 x 7 = 28

Find the highest common factor using prime factorization for 27y and 54y³<br>​
amid [387]

Given:

27y and 54y³

​To find:

The highest common factor (HCF) using prime factorization.

Solution:

We have,

27y and 54y³

Using the prime factorization, we get

27y=3\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot y

54y^3=2\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot y\cdot y\cdot y

Now, the common prime factors are 3, 3, 3 and y. So,

HCF=3\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot y

HCF=27y

Therefore, the highest common factor of the given terms is 27y.
