Answer:

<em>3 seconds</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete question:

<em>An object is dropped from a bridge and allowed to freefall to the ground. The height of the object over time can be modeled using h(t)=144-16t2. How many seconds will it take the object to reach the ground? 2 seconds 3 seconds 9 seconds 16 seconds</em>

<em></em>

Given the height of an object modelled by the expression;

<em>h(t)=144-16t²</em>

The object will reach the ground when h(t) = 0

Substitute into the formula

0 = 144 - 16t²

-144 = -16t²

144 = 16t²

Swap

16t² = 144

t² = 144/16

t² = 9

Square root both sides

√t² = ±√9

t = ±3secs

<em>Since the time cannot be negative, hence the object will reach the ground 3 seconds after</em>

The slope of the line whose equation is x-3y= 1 is<br> 0-3<br> -1/3<br> 0<br> 0<br> 1/3
insens350 [35]

x-3y= 1

The equation needs to be rewritten in proper Slope intercept form ( y = mx+b) where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

x-3y = 1

Subtract x from each side:

-3y = 1-x

Divide both sides by -3:

y = 1/-3 - x/-3

Simplify:

y = 1/3x - 1/3

The slope is 1/3

What is 4 2/7 as an improper fraction?<br> HURRYYYYYYY
Alika [10]

Answer: C. 30/7

Step-by-step explanation: To make an improper fraction out of a mixed one we have to multiply the denominator by the whole number (in this case is 4) and then add the numerator. So 7 x 4 = 28 + 2 = 30, so 30/7 would be the correct answer choice.

Hope this helps!

F(x)= 9-x^2, x ≥ 0. f^-1(x)=??
julia-pushkina [17]
y=9-x^{2},\ x\ge0

Reverse x and y:
x=9-y^{2},\ y\ge0
Solve for y:
x=9-y^{2}
\rightarrow y^{2}=9-x
\rightarrow y=\sqrt{9-x} since y\ge0
