Answer:

125

Step-by-step explanation:

divide both sides of the equation by 0.8

0.8÷0.8=0.8÷100

any expression divided by 1 is itself

x=100÷0.8

divide the numbers

100÷0.8=125

125 is your answer

An explosion causes debris to rise vertically with an initial speed of 120 feet per second. The formula h equals negative 16 t s

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The debris will be at a height of 56 ft when time is 0.5 s and 7 s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Initial speed of debris is, $s=120\ ft/s$

The height 'h' of the debris above the ground is given as:

$h(t)=-16t^2+120t$

As per question, $h(t)=56\ ft$ . Therefore,

$56=-16t^2+120t$

Rewriting the above equation into a standard quadratic equation and solving for 't', we get:

$-16t^2+120t-56=0\\\textrm{Dividing by -8 throughout, we get}\\\frac{-16}{-8}t^2+\frac{120}{-8}t-\frac{56}{-8}=0\\2t^2-15t+7=0$

Using quadratic formula to solve for 't', we get:

$t=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\t=\frac{-(-15)\pm \sqrt{(-15)^2-4(2)(7)}}{2(2)}\\\\t=\frac{15\pm \sqrt{225-56}}{4}\\\\t=\frac{15\pm\sqrt{169}}{4}\\\\t=\frac{15\pm 13}{4}\\\\t=\frac{15-13}{4}\ or\ t=\frac{15+13}{4}\\\\t=\frac{2}{4}\ or\ t=\frac{28}{4}\\\\t=0.5\ s\ or\ t=7\ s$

Therefore, the debris will reach a height of 56 ft twice.

When time $t=0.5\ s$ during the upward journey, the debris is at height of 56 ft.

Again after reaching maximum height, the debris falls back and at $t=7\ s$ , the height is 56 ft.

3x+4y=5 what is this in slope intercept form

tia_tia [17]

Slope intercept form is to leave y by itself. ok this is the initial question 3x+4y=5 and we want y by itself. first subtract 3x by both sides. you now have 4y=5-3x, then divide 4 by both sides. y=5-3x/4, this is slope intercept form, if you still need help download the app socratic and photomath.
