An astronaut on the moon throws a baseball upward. The astronaut is 6 ft 6 in tall, and the initial velocity of the ball is 40 f

t per sec. The heights of the ball in feet is given by the equation
S = -2.7t^2+40t+6.5, where t is the number of seconds after the ball was thrown.

After how many seconds is the ball 18 ft above the moon's surface?

Answer:

t = 0.293 s and 14.52 s

Step-by-step explanation:

The heights of the ball in feet is given by the equation as follows :

S = -2.7t^2+40t+6.5

Where t is the number of seconds after the ball was thrown.

We need to find is the ball 18 ft above the moon's surface.

Put S = 18 ft

-2.7t^2+40t+6.5=18\\\\-2.7t^2+40t=18-6.5\\\\-2.7t^2+40t-11.5=0

It is a quadratic equation. Its solution is given by :

t=\dfrac{-40+\sqrt{40^{2\ }-4\left(-2.7\right)\left(-11.5\right)}}{2\left(-2.7\right)},\dfrac{-40-\sqrt{40^{2\ }-4\left(-2.7\right)\left(-11.5\right)}}{2\left(-2.7\right)}\\\\t=0.293\ s,14.52\ s

So, the ball is at first 0.293 s and then 14.52 s above the Moon's surface.

Find the value of x ANSWER IS NOT
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

x = 11√2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can notice the triangle given is a special triangle, a 45°- 45°- 90° triangle. The hypotenuse of a 45°- 45°- 90° is √2 times the length of a side. We can set up the equation(using x as the side):

x * √2  = 22

We can divide by √2 on both sides to get:

x = 22 / √2

To rationalize the denominator, we multiply by √2 / √2 on the right side:

x = 22√2 / 2

This simplifies to:

x = 11√2

nydimaria [60]

The histogram which shows the results of the time trial is option B

<h3>Histogram</h3>

Given data:

12:32, 12:46, 13:30, 15:03, 13:43, 13:46, 14:20, 14:29, 12:34, 14:43, 15:26, 16:02, 16:16, 14:38, 16:55, 17:10, 14:26, 17:21, 17:58, 13:30

Grouping of data,:

12:00 - 12:59 = 3

13:00 - 13:59 = 4

14:00 - 14:59 = 5

15:00 - 15:59 = 2

16:00 - 16:59 = 3

17:00 - 17:59 = 3

  • The frequency is represented on the y-axis(number of cyclist)
  • The time is represented on the x-axis

Which ordered pair does NOT lie on the graph of h(x)=-2x + 7
goblinko [34]

Answer: A (-2, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To know which oredered pairs does not lie on the graph, you must substitute the x-coordinate of each one of thm into the function and if you obtain the y-coordinate shown in that ordered pair, then that point lies on the graph.

2. Therefore, you have:

A. x=-2

h(x)=-2(-2)+7=11 (It does not lie on the graph).

B. x=--1

h(x)=-2(-1)+7=9 (It lies on the graph).

C. x=3

h(x)=-2(3)+7=1 (It lies on the graph).

D. x=4

h(x)=-2(4)+7=-1 (It lies on the graph).

Therefore, the answer is the option A.
