Martin throws a ball straight up in the air. the equation h(t) = -16t^2 + 40t + 5 gives the height of the ball, in feet, t secon

Lisa [10]

Answer:

2.62 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

t ----> the time in seconds

h(t) ----> he height of the ball, in feet

we have

$h(t)=-16t^2+40t+5$

we know that

When the ball hits the ground, the height is equal to zero

so

$-16t^2+40t+5=0$

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

$at^{2} +bt+c=0$

is equal to

$t=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$-16t^2+40t+5=0$

so

$a=-16\\b=40\\c=5$

substitute in the formula

$t=\frac{-40\pm\sqrt{40^{2}-4(-16)(5)}} {2(-16)}$

$t=\frac{-40\pm\sqrt{1,920}} {-32}$

$t=\frac{-40+\sqrt{1,920}} {-32}=-0.12\ sec$

$t=\frac{-40-\sqrt{1,920}} {-32}=2.62\ sec$

therefore

The solution is t=2.62 seconds

Hailey is a high school basketball player. In a particular game, she made some three point shots and some free throws (worth one

NISA [10]

Answer: the system of equations are

3x + y = 14

y = 4x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of three point shots that Hailey made.

Let y represent the number of free throws(worth one point each) that Hailey made.

Hailey made some three point shots and some free throws and

scored a total of 14 points. This would be expressed as

3x + y = 14

Hailey made 4 times as many free throws as three point shots. This would be expressed as

y = 4x

I need help bruv. For the function y=x^2 - 5x - 6 .

lara [203]

Answer:

a. Vertex = (2.5,-12.25)

b. y-intercept = (0,-6)

c. x-intercept = (6,0) ; (-1,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

Your equation is written as:

$y = ax^{2} + bx +c$

The easiest way to find the vertex is writing the equation this way:

$y = a(x-h)^{2}+k$

Being the vertex (h,k)

So first complete the square

$y = x^{2} -5x -6 \\y = x^{2} - 2(2.5x) -6 \\y = x^{2} - 2(2.5x) +2.5^{2} - 2.5^{2} -6 \\y = (x^{2} -2(2.5x) + 2.5^{2}) -6.25 - 6 \\y = (x-2.5)^{2} -12.25$

Vertex : (2.5,-12.25)

b.

To find the y-intercept you need to replace the equation when x = 0 and get y

$y = (0)^{2} - 5(0) -6\\y = - 6$

c.

To find the x-intercept you need to replace the equation when y = 0 and get x

$0 = x^{2} - 5x -6 \\0 = (x-6)(x+1)\\x = 6\\x = -1$

How to do questions 19 and 20

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

Using the information given in the question we can form the following 3 equations (in the order of the first 3 sentences)

w = 2h (twice the price)

t = h - 4 ($4 less)

3w + 2h + 5t = 136 (total purchasing and cost)

We can solve all 3 equations for h first, by substituting the first two equations, into the third equations w and t

3(2h) + 2h + 5(h-4) = 136

Simplify

6h + 2h + 5h - 20 = 136

13h = 136 + 20

13h = 156

h = 156/13

h = $12

Using this information, we can solve for w and t

w = 2h

w = 2(12)

w = $24

And finally

t = h - 4

t = 12 - 4

t = $8
