Answer:
It takes 2.8 seconds for the ball to fall 215 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given a position function s(t) where s stands for the number of feet the ball has fallen, so we have to replace s with the given value of 215 ft and solve for the time t.
Setting up the equation.
The motion equation is given by
We can replace there s = 215 ft to get
Solving for the time t.
From the previous equation we can move all terms in one side to get
At this point we can solve for t using quadratic formula.
where a, b and c are the coefficients of the quadratic equation
So we get
Replacing on the quadratic formula we get
Using a calculator we get
Physically speaking the only result that makes sense is to move forward in time that give us t = 2.8 seconds.
We can conclude that it takes 2.8 seconds for the ball to fall 215 ft.
Answer:
k = - , k = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the discriminant Δ = b² - 4ac
The condition for equal roots is b² - 4ac = 0
Given
kx² + 2x + k = - kx ( add kx to both sides )
kx² + 2x + kx + k = 0 , that is
kx² + (2 + k)x + k = 0 ← in standard form
with a = k, b = 2 + k and c = k , thus
(2 + k)² - 4k² = 0 ← expand and simplify left side
4 + 4k + k² - 4k² = 0
- 3k² + 4k + 4 = 0 ( multiply through by - 1 )
3k² - 4k - 4 = 0 ← in standard form
(3k + 2)(k - 2) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for k
3k + 2 = 0 ⇒ 3k = - 2 ⇒ k = -
k - 2 = 0 ⇒ k = 2
Answer:
B $12.69
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide 84.63 by 100 to get 1% of the bill and then multiply the answer by 15 for 15% and round it:
The closest answer would be B $12.69.
