Given: h(t) = 25 - a·t²
h(0.5) = 21
Find: t such that h(t) = 0
Solution: h(0.5) = 25 - a·0.5² = 21
25 - 21 = a/4
4·4 = a = 16
Then
h(t) = 25 - 16t²
We want h(t) = 0, so
0 = 25 - 16t²
16t² = 25
t² = 25/16 = (5/4)²
t = 5/4 = 1.25
It takes 1.25 seconds for the entire 25 ft drop.
The degree of the expression is 2.
I’m guessing you meant 4x^2 (x to the power of two or x squared) rather than 4x2 (4 multiplied by two, meaning 8).
4x^2 -(-3x-8)
= 4x^2 +3x +8
72-2 = 70
In the given question, we come to know that Sammy sold 5 bottles for every 3 water bottles sold by David. In this case we get the ratio as 5:3
Now this ratio indicates that the total number of bottles can be divided into 8 parts for finding out a single part. the total number of water bottles that are sold by Sammy and David together are 160.
Now on dividing this total number of bottles by 8 we get the 20 as one part.
The,
Number of Bottles sold by Sammy = 5 * 20
= 100
Number of bottles sold by David = 3 * 20
= 60
So Sammy sold 100 water bottles and David sold 60 water bottles from the total of 160 water bottles.
