Answer:

3.15 seconds is the answer.

Explanation

when the ball touches the ground, h =0

hence,

0=255-21t-16t²

16t²+21t-225=0

here a=16 ,b=21, c= -225

$t= \frac{ - b± \sqrt{ {b }^{2} - 4ac} }{2a} \\ \\ t= \frac{ - 21± \sqrt{ {21}^{2} - 4 \times 16 \times - 225} }{2 \times 16} \\ = \frac{ - 21 ± \sqrt{441 - ( - 14400)} }{32} \\ = \frac{ - 21± \sqrt{14841} }{32} \\ = \frac{ - 21±121.82}{32} \\ \\ t = \frac{ - 21 + 121.82}{32} \: or \: \: t = \frac{ - 21 - 121.82}{32} \\ t = 3.15 \: \: or \: \: t = - 4.46$

time cannot be negative, hence t = -4.46 can be avoided

The ball takes 3.15 seconds to hit the ground.

The first three towers in a sequence are shown. The nth tower is formed by stacking n blocks on top of an n times n square of bl

erik [133]

Answer:

The 99th tower contains 9900 blocks.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given, we were told that the nth tower is formed by stacking n blocks on top of an n times n square of blocks. This implies that the number of blocks in n tower will be:

n + n²

Now let us use the diagram to validate the idea.

Tower 1:

n = 1

Number of blocks = 1 + 1² = 2

Tower 2:

Number of blocks = 2 + 2² = 6

Tower 3:

Number of blocks = 3 + 3² = 12

Using same idea, we can obtain the number of blocks in the 99th tower as follow:

Tower 99:

n = 99

Number of blocks = 99 + 99² = 9900

Therefore, the 99th tower contains 9900 blocks.

The following integral requires a preliminary step such as long division or a change of variables before using the method of par

shtirl [24]

Division yields

$\dfrac{x^4+7}{x^3+2x} = x-\dfrac{2x^2-7}{x^3+2x}$

Now for partial fractions: you're looking for constants a, b, and c such that

$\dfrac{2x^2-7}{x(x^2+2)} = \dfrac ax + \dfrac{bx+c}{x^2+2}$

$\implies 2x^2 - 7 = a(x^2+2) + (bx+c)x = (a+b)x^2+cx + 2a$

which gives a + b = 2, c = 0, and 2a = -7, so that a = -7/2 and b = 11/2. Then

$\dfrac{2x^2-7}{x(x^2+2)} = -\dfrac7{2x} + \dfrac{11x}{2(x^2+2)}$

Now, in the integral we get

$\displaystyle\int\frac{x^4+7}{x^3+2x}\,\mathrm dx = \int\left(x+\frac7{2x} - \frac{11x}{2(x^2+2)}\right)\,\mathrm dx$

The first two terms are trivial to integrate. For the third, substitute y = x ² + 2 and dy = 2x dx to get

$\displaystyle \int x\,\mathrm dx + \frac72\int\frac{\mathrm dx}x - \frac{11}4 \int\frac{\mathrm dy}y \\\\ =\displaystyle \frac{x^2}2+\frac72\ln|x|-\frac{11}4\ln|y| + C \\\\ =\displaystyle \boxed{\frac{x^2}2 + \frac72\ln|x| - \frac{11}4 \ln(x^2+2) + C}$

Graph the function. y=-x-6 ifx<-6 y = 2x + 12 if x>-6

Naddik [55]

Answer:

see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

For x < -6, the function has a slope of -1 and an x-intercept of -6.

For x > -6, the function has a slope of 2 and an x-intercept of -6.

The function given here is not defined at x=6, so there is a hole at (-6, 0).
