Answer:

The projectile will reach a height of 96 feet after about 0.84 seconds as well as after about 7.16 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of a projectile fired upward is given by the formula:

\displaystyle s = v_{0} t - 16t^2

Where <em>s</em> is the height in feet, <em>v</em>₀ is the initial velocity, and <em>t</em> is the time in seconds.

Given a projectile with an initial velocity of 128 ft/s, we want to determine how long it will take the projectile to reach a height of 96 feet.

In other words, given that <em>v</em>₀ = 128, find <em>t</em> such that <em>s</em> = 96.

Substitute:

(96) = (128)t-16t^2

This is a quadratic. First, we can divide both sides by -16:

-6 = -8t+t^2

Isolate the equation:

t^2 - 8t + 6 = 0

The equation isn't factorable, so we can consider using the quadratic formula:

\displaystyle t = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

In this case, <em>a</em> = 1, <em>b</em> = -8, and <em>c</em> = 6. Substitute:

\displaystyle t = \frac{-(-8)\pm\sqrt{(-8)^2-4(1)(6)}}{2(1)}

Simplify:

\displaystyle t = \frac{8\pm\sqrt{40}}{2} = \frac{8\pm 2\sqrt{10}}{2} = 4\pm \sqrt{10}

Hence, our two solutions are:

\displaystyle t = 4+\sqrt{10} \approx 7.16\text{ or } t= 4-\sqrt{10} \approx 0.84

So, the projectile will reach a height of 96 feet after about 0.84 seconds as well as after about 7.16 seconds.

(25 + 19) + 15 = (19 + 25) + 15<br><br><br> What property is that equation
malfutka [58]

Answer:

Commutative Property

Step-by-step explanation:

It looks like Associative property which is when you change the GROUP, but actually it’s commutative because it didn’t change any numbers in the group, just the order of where they were.

Associative: (25 + 19) + 15 = (15 + 19) + 25

Commutative: (25 + 19) + 15 = (19 + 25) + 15

It didn’t change the numbers, only the order. Therefore, it would be commutative property

The third term in an arithmetic sequence is 10 and the fifth term is 26.If the first term is a1,which is an equation for the nth
dexar [7]
Just plug in 3 for n and then 5 for n to see if an turns out to be 10 and 26.

n=3:
A) an = 8*3+10 = 34
B) an = 8*3 - 14 = 10  OK
C) an = 16*3+10 = 58
D) an = 16*3 - 38 = 10 OK

n=5:
B) an = 8*5-14 = 26 OK
D) an = 16*5 - 38 = 42

So the answer is B
