Answer:

6.53 s

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the cannon ball is represented by a quadratic function as:

h(t) = -4.9t² + 30.5t +9.8.

At 0 s (i.e. t = 0), h(0) = -4.9(0²) + 30.5(0) + 9.8 = 9.8

That means that the cannon ball is initially at a height of 9.8 m above the ground. To calculate the time it takes the ball to touch the ground, we use:

h(t) = -4.9t² + 30.5t +9.8

It touches the ground when h(t) = 0. Hence:

0 = -4.9t² + 30.5t + 9.8

Solving the above quadratic equation gives:

t = 6.53 s and t = -0.31 s

Since the time cannot be negative, hence t = 6.53 s. Therefore it takes the ball 6.53 s to hit the ground.

Find four numbers proportional to the numbers 2, 4, 5, and 6 if the difference between the sum of the two last numbers and the s
Nat2105 [25]
Number 1 wants you to set up proportions so four numbers equal to 2/1 would be: 6/3 8/4 10/5 12/6, and so on. I'm not sure what they're asking when they say the sum of the first two numbers is equal to 4.8

12x + 2y =6a. solve for yb. what is the slope and what is the y-intercept?
diamong [38]

The equation of a line in the slope intercept form is expressed as

y = mx + c

where

m represents slope

c represents y intercept

The given equation is

12x + 2y = 6

we would make this equation to look like the slope intercept equation.

12x + 2y = 6

If we subtract 12x from both sides of the equation, it becomes

12x - 12x + 2y = 6 - 12x

2y = 6 - 12x

2y = - 12x + 6

Dividing both sides of the equation by 2, it becomes

y = - 6x + 3

Thus, by comparing with the slope intercept equation,

slope = - 6

y intercept = 3

PilotLPTM [1.2K]
A] From the graph, there is strong correlation between the satisfaction score and salary, this is implied by the closeness of the points on the graph.
b] Given that Hilda use the function y=0.0005x +60 to model the relationship, the score for $65000 will be given as follows;
y=0.0005(65000)+60
y=92.5
The number 0.0005 shows the rate of change of job satisfaction with salary

What is 33.61111111 in fraction form
madreJ [45]

The correct answer is:   " \frac{33,611}{1,000} " .

____________________

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

Based on the assumption that the "1" repeats infinitely; in the given value:

  " 33.61111111 ...." ;

_______

Note that the "611" ; after the decimal point;  this goes to the "thousandths";  

place (is "3 (three) digits long.").

_______

As such; we rewrite the number as:

_______

" \frac{33.611}{1} " ;  

and we multiply BOTH the "numerator" And the "denominator" by: "1000" :

_______

  →  " \frac{(33.611)*(1000)}{(1)*(1000)} " ;

to get:

  →  " \frac{33611}{1000} " ;  →  which cannot be reduced any further.

_______

The correct answer is: " \frac{33,611}{1,000} " .

_______

Hope this is helpful to you!

 Wishing you the best!

3. A large fruit dish with a 36 in. diameter is placed in the center of a banquet across and is completely filled with apples. T
Serga [27]

Answer:

a) 11%

b) 56%

Step-by-step explanation:

a) A= πr^2    6^2π= 36π    A= 18^2π = 324π

36π/324π = .111111111111111111111111 or 11%

remember to cancel out the pi symbols when you are showing your work

(put a line across the pi symbols when dividing)

b)   A= πr^2         18^2 π = 324π

     A= πr^2          12^2π = 144π  

              324 – 144  = 180

180π/324π = .5555555555555555555555556 or 56%

remember to cancel out the pi symbols when you are showing your work
