Essentially, the rule goes as so: odd + odd = even, even + even = even.
Although that may not be the answer you're looking for, it is a math rule that is never debunked and essentially the premises for why you get an even sum practically always depending on the numbers.
Hope this helps!
Well if y represents the vertical distance of the ball then you want to solve the equation for when y is 0, since 0 would represent the ball being on the ground. So substitute 0 in for y and solve the equation.
0 = - 0.001x^2 + 0.3x
we have a common factor of x in both terms so we can take that out.
0 = x(-0.001x + 0.3)
Zero product property tells us that we can set both of those products equal to zero and solve
0 = x
0 = -0.001x + 0.3
our first answer is x = 0 is obvious bc thats when the ball starts before you hit it, means it traveled 0.
solving the second equation gives us x = 300
so the ball traveled 300 "yards" I suppose your problem starts, which is impossible, but no matter thats the answer :-)
Answer:
Let's start with part B. if it was originally 10 cm tall and it goes up 0.5 cm. each day, then we know that to go up one cm it needs two days. With that information we can say that 8*2 = 16. So it needs 17 days to go up 8.5 cm which would make it 18.5 cm tall.
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 0.5x + 10
0.5x + 10 = 18.5
0.5x = 18.5 - 10
0.5x = 8.5
x = 8.5/0.5
x = 17 days
