Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is a parabola, that opens up downwards, and the point from which Sarah throws the ball is 5 feet off the ground. so set the height to zero ( when the ball reaches the ground ) and solve for t
0 = -16 + 18t + 5
use quadratic equation :)
-b +- sqrt( - 4ac) / 2a
-18 +- sqrt[ - 4 (-16)(5) ] / 2(-16)
-18 +- sqrt[324 +320 ] / -32
-18 +- sqrt[644] / -32
-18 +- 25.377155 / -32
do the positive choice :
-18 + 25.377155 / -32
7.377155 / -32
-0.2305 ( so this answer would be where the ball would hit the ground if the arc extended down to the ground behind where Sarah throws the ball from. so this answer doesn't count in our domain. Because it's before Sarah throws the ball)
do the negative choice:
-18 - 25.377155 / -32
1.355536 ( this answer looks good, about 1.35 seconds for the ball to fly , this was more of a toss than a throw. )
t = 1.4 seconds ( rounded to nearest 10th )

Answer: The tenth term is 76
=======================================================
Explanation:
We use this arithmetic sequence formula to get the nth term
Plug in and you should get the following:
The tenth term is <u>76</u>
---------
We can verify this by listing out the terms one by one. Start at 4, add on 8 each time, until you generate the 10th term. A table like the one shown below is a good way to keep track of all the terms.
---------
In short, the error is with the "10" in the expression 4+10(8). The student should have used 9 instead. This is because of the n-1 term in which shifts everything one spot to the left.
Answer:
scale factor = 1.2
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the scale factor, calculate the ratio of the length of the second rectangle to the length of the first rectangle. The corresponding ratio of widths should also equal the same ratio.
scale factor = =
= 1.2
