Answer:

Value of equation = 26.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Equation given

-4a² + 3ab - (2a + 3b)

Given value of a = 1/4

Given value of b = -12

Find:

Value of equation

Computation:

-4a² + 3ab - (2a + 3b)

By putting value of a and b

-4(1/4)² + 3(1/4)(-12) - [2(1/4) + 3(-12)]

-4(1/16) - (36/4) - [2/4 - 36]

-4/16 - 36/4 - [-142/4]

- 0.25 - 9 + 142/4

-0.25 - 9 + 35.5

Value of equation = 26.25

kodGreya [7K]

The amount of time his teammate have to catch the ball is equal to 1.774 seconds.

<u>Given the following function:</u>

  • f(x) = -16t² + vt + s.
  • Displacement, s = 6ft.
  • Velocity, v = 25 ft/s.

<h3>How to calculate the amount of time?</h3>

In order to determine the amount of time his teammate have to catch the ball, we would evaluate the given position-time function as follows:

f(t) = -16t² + 25t + 6.

In Mathematics, the standard form of a quadratic equation is given by;

ax² + bx + c =0

Where:

a = -16.

b = 25.

c = 6.

Solving the function by using the quadratic formula, we have:

t = [-b ± √(b² - 4ac)]/2a

t = [-25 ± √[(25² - 4(-16)(6))]/2(-16)

t = [25/32 ± (-1/32)√1009]

t = 25/32 ± (-0.993)

t = 0.781 ± 0.993

t = 0.781 + 0.993

Time, t = 1.774 seconds.

Note: We ignored the negative value because time cannot be negative.

A hot air balloon went from an elevation of 4,064 feet to an elevation of 3,322 feet in 28 minutes. What
ELEN [110]

Answer:

<em>The air balloon descends 26.5 feet per minute</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Rate of Change</u>

The rate of change is a measure that compares two quantities, usually to know how one variable changes in time.

The hot air balloon was 4,064 feet high and, 28 minutes later, it went to 3,322 feet. We can calculate the rate of descent R by dividing the change of elevation over time:

\displaystyle R=\frac{3,322-4,064}{28}=\frac{-742}{28}=-26.5

Thus the air balloon descends 26.5 feet per minute
