A hang glider pilot accidentally drops her compass from the top of a 400-foot cliff. The height h of the compass after t seconds

is given by the quadratic equation h=−16t2+400. When will the compass hit the ground?

Answer:

5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

H= -16t2 + 400

Hit ground

H=0

0 = -16t2 + 400

0 = -16 ( t2 - 25)

-16

t2 -25 = 0

(t + 5)(t - 5) = 0

t + 5 = 0

- 5 -5

t = -5

t - 5 = 0

+ 5 +5

t = -5

t = 5

5 seconds to hit the ground

You have to find the LCD or least common denominator.
In this case the LCD would be (x-6)(x+5).

Problem: x/ x-6 - 1/x+5

Step 1: multiply x-6 to the numerator and denominator of 1/x+5

1(x-6)/ (x+5)(x-6)

Step 2: multiply x+5 to the numerator and denominator of x/x-6
x(x+5)/ (x+5)(x-6)

After all that, this is how the problem should look now

x(x+5)/ (x-6)(x+5) - 1(x-6)/ (x-6)(x+5)

If you simplify this you get

x²+5x-x+6/ (x-6)(x+5)

If you subtract both 5x-x (like terms) you get

x²+4x+6/ (x-6)(x+5)
which is the answer

The side lengths of a triangle are 5, 8, and 12. Is this a right triangle?
professor190 [17]

Answer:

A) No...

Step-by-step explanation:

We can check if this triangle is a right triangle by using the Pythagorean Theorem.

  • a² + b² = c²
  • where a and b are the legs of the right triangle, and c is the hypotenuse (longest side)

Using 5 for a, 8 for b, and 12 for c, let's see if this satisfies the equation:

  • 5² + 8² = 12²

Simplify.

  • 25 + 64 = 144
  • 89 = 144

We can see that 89 ≠ 144, so this leaves us with answer choices A and B. I think you meant to write < for the last + sign.

Seeing as the sum of the two lengths of the triangle is greater than the third side length, this creates a normal triangle. This cannot be the correct answer choice since this only satisfies the requirements for a triangle, but not a right triangle.

This leaves us with answer choice A.  52 + 32 ≠ 122 and 52 + 32 < 122. (I'm not sure why the squares of the side lengths are not used, but this should be the correct answer.)
