Given:

The height of ball is represented by the below function:

h(t)=-16t^2+20t+24

To find:

The number of seconds it will take to reach the ground.

Solution:

We have,

h(t)=-16t^2+20t+24

At ground level, the height of ball is 0, i.e., h(t)=0.

-16t^2+20t+24=0

Taking out greatest common factor.

-4(4t^2-5t-6)=0

4t^2-5t-6=0

Splitting the middle term, we get

4t^2-8t+3t-6=0

4t(t-2)+3(t-2)=0

(t-2)(4t+3)=0

Using zero product property, we get

(t-2)=0 and (4t+3)=0

t=2 and t=-\dfrac{3}{4}

Time cannot be negative, so t=2.

Therefore, the ball will reach the ground after 2 seconds.

Your friend has a bag of 20 marbles. Seven
Elis [28]

Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I added them up. From the things we know, blue, red, green, yellow combined equals 16 marbles. 20-16 equals 4. So there are 4 white marbles. 4/20 times 5 equals 20/100. So the percent of the marbles that are white is 20%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Factors of 66 are ...

  66 = 1·66 = 2·33 = 3·22 = 6·11

The last pair of factors differ by 5, so represent the solution to the problem.

The width of the parking lot is 6 yards; the length is 11 yards.

sin(x) = opp/hyp
cos(x) = adj/hyp
tan(x) = opp/adj

sin(x) = 3.9/8.1
sin(x) = 0.481

Inverse sin of 0.481 = 28.8 degrees

Each answer should be between 0 and 90 :)
