Answer:

the backpack will be on the ground in 3 seconds but it will first make contact with the ground in 2.5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation would be:  y = -16t² + 100

if you solve for 't' then you will find the amount of time until it lands

0 = -16t² + 100

-100 = -16t²

100/16 = t²

t = √100/16

t = 10/4 = 2.5

Circle 1 is centered at (−4, 5) and has a radius of 2 centimeters. Circle 2 is centered at (2, 1) and has a radius of 6 centimet
IgorC [24]
Basically, you have two circles. You are asked to take circle 1 and "move it" so that it is on top of circle 2. This process of moving is called a translation and can be thought of as sliding. You do this by ensuring that the two have the same center. So, starting at (-4,5) how do you have to move to end up at (2,1)?

To do this we need to move right 6 as the x-coordinate goes from -4 to 2. We also need to move down 4 as the y-coordinate goes from 5 to 1. So we add 6 to the x-coordinate and subtract 4 from the y-coordinate. The transformation rule is (x+6, y-4).

Once you do this the circles have the same center. Next you wish to dilate circle 1 so it ends up being the same size at circle 2. That means you stretch it out in such a way that it keeps its shape. Circle 1 has a radius of 2 centimeters and circle 2 has a radius of 6 centimeters. That is 3x bigger. So we dilate by a factor of 3.

Translations and dilations (along with reflections and rotations) belong to a group known as transformations.
