Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the position function and need to find the value of t when h<17.
Create an inequality that represents this situation:
The "less than" sign makes this very specifically a conjunction problem as opposed to a disjunction. That's important to the solution. But we'll get there.
The simplest way to solve this is to subtract 81 from both sides:
then divide both sides by -16:
Notice now that the sign is facing the other way since we had to divide by a negative number. Now it's a disjunction. The solution set to this inequality is that t>2 or t<-2. First and foremost, time will never be negative, so we can disregard the -2. Even if that was t<2, the more time that goes by, the greater the time interval is, not the lesser. It's the "<" that doesn't make sense, not only the -2. The solution to this inequality is
t > 2 sec. That means that after 2 seconds, the height of the ball is less than 17 feet.
The degree is 5, so the largest exponent of the polynomial is 5. This means the answer is either A or B. Choice C is ruled out because the degree here is 7. Choice D is ruled out because the degree here is 6
For choice A, the leading coefficient is 6. This is the number to the left of the variable term of the largest exponent. So we can rule out choice A (because the leading coefficient should be 7)
Choice B is the answer. It has a degree of 5 and a leading coefficient of 7 and also a constant term of 6. The constant term is simply the term without any variables attached to it.
First you find a common denominator, which is 12 ( as 4,3 and 6 all go into 12). So 2/4 becomes 6/12, as 4 multiplied by 3 is 12 and whatever you do to the denominator you must do to the numerator. Then 2/3 becomes 8/12. And 2/6 becomes 4/12. If you put these in order the answer is:
2/6, 2/4, 2/3
If you add them all you get 50x12y13
