Answer:

The first droplet will hit the ground after about 1.54 seconds.

The second droplet will hit the ground after about 1.6 seconds.

Thus, the first hits the ground first.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function:

y=-16r^2 + 38

Which represents the height <em>y</em> in feet of a water droplet <em>t</em> seconds after falling from an icicle.

Part A)

We want to find the time it took for the water droplet to hit the ground.

When it hit the ground, its height <em>y</em> above ground will be zero. Therefore, we can let <em>y</em> = 0 and solve for <em>r: </em>

<em />0=-16r^2+38<em />

Subtract 38 from both sides:

-38 = -16 r^2

Divide:

\displaystyle r^2 = \frac{38}{16} = \frac{19}{8}

And take the principal square root of both sides:

\displaystyle r= \sqrt{\frac{19}{8}} = \frac{\sqrt{38}}{4} \approx1.54\text{ seconds}

So, the first water droplet hits the ground after about 1.54 seconds.

Part B)

We want to determine how long it will take for a water droplet to hit the ground from a height of 41 feet.

From the original equation, if <em>r</em> = 0, then <em>y</em> = 38. So, the initial height was 38 feet.

Then we can modify the function into:

y= -16r^2 + 41

In this case, when <em>r</em> = 0, the starting height <em>y</em> is 41 feet.

Again, let <em>y</em> = 0 and solve for <em>r: </em>

<em />0 = -16r^2 + 41<em />

Isolate:

\displaystyle r^2 = \frac{41}{16}

And take the principal square root of both sides:

\displaystyle r = \sqrt{\frac{41}{16}} = \frac{\sqrt{41}}{4} \approx 1.6\text{ seconds}

So, the second drop will hit the ground after approximately 1.6 seconds.

And in conclusion, the first drop will hit the ground sooner (as expected).

Who is sacatoa joe in geometry
valkas [14]
I think that you are mistaking the memory tool for something else
or a math book is trying to make math cute by calling them 'socatoa joe' and 'mr. pi' and such


anyway, SOH, CAH, TOA is the way to remember
Sine=oposite/hypotonuse
Cosine=adjacent/hypotonuse
Tangent=oposite/adjacent

(oposite side=side oposite the angle
adjacent is the side touching the angle that is not they hypotonuse
and of course the hypotonuse is the longest side aka, side oposite right angle)

One factor of 7x2 + 33x – 10 is
stiv31 [10]

7x^{2} +33x-10=0

\implies 7x^{2} +35x-2x-10=0\\\implies7x(x+5)-2(x+5)=0\\\implies (7x-2)(x+5)=0

7x - 2 = 0\\\implies \boxed{\bold{x = \frac{2}{7} }}

x+5=0\\\implies \boxed{\bold{x=-5}}

What is the measure of X?
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

The answer is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the total angles in a triangle is 180° so in order to find the value of x, you have to substract 60° and 80° from 180° :

60 + 80 + x = 180

140 + x = 180

x = 180 - 140

x = 40
