The answer is, (1, -5)...
Answer:
a = 64
Step-by-step explanation:
The geometric mean of 2 numbers a and b is 
, then
= 16
( square both sides )
28a = (16 )² = 1792 ( divide both sides by 28 )
a = 64
Solve for x:
x^2 + 10 x + 12 = 36
36 = 36:
x^2 + 10 x + 12 = 36
Subtract 12 from both sides:
x^2 + 10 x = 24
Add 25 to both sides:
x^2 + 10 x + 25 = 49
Write the left hand side as a square:
(x + 5)^2 = 49
Take the square root of both sides:
x + 5 = 7 or x + 5 = -7
Subtract 5 from both sides:
x = 2 or x + 5 = -7
Subtract 5 from both sides:
Answer: x = 2 or x = -12 Thus the Answer is A.
Given
s=16t^2
where
s=distance in feet travelled (downwards) since airborne with zero vertical velocity and zero air-resistance
t=time in seconds after release
Here we're given
s=144 feet
=>
s=144=16t^2
=>
t^2=144/16=9
so
t=3
Ans. after 3 seconds, the object hits the ground 144 ft. below.
