For this case we have the following equation:
 h (t) = - 12t2 + 36t
 When the object hits the ground we have:
 - 12t2 + 36t = 0
 We look for the roots of the polynomial:
 t1 = 0
 t2 = 3
 Therefore, the time it takes the object to hit the ground is:
 t = 3 s
 Answer:

Answer:

3 seconds is the time when the object hits the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the height of a free falling object at time t can be found using the function is given by:

h(t)=-12t^2+36t         ....[1]

where,

h(t) is the height in feet

t is the in seconds.

We have to find the time when the object hits the ground.

⇒h(t) = 0

Substitute this in [1] we have;

-12t^2+36t =0

⇒12t^2-36t = 0

⇒12t(t-3) = 0

⇒t = 0 and t = 3

Since, time cannot be 0.

⇒t = 3 seconds

Therefore, the time when the object hits the ground is, 3 seconds

Find the slope of the line that passes through (4,2) and (9,1)?
pshichka [43]

Answer:

The slope of the line is \displaystyle -\frac{1}{5}.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two coordinate points:

  • (4, 2)
  • (9, 1)

We are asked to find the slope of the line.

We can use the rise-over-run formula to solve for the slope of the line.

\displaystyle \text{slope} = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}\\\\\text{slope} = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

However, we firstly need to name our coordinate points.

In math, we can label our coordinates using the following label system:

(x_1, y_1), (x_2, y_2)

Therefore, we can also label our coordinates as such:

  • x_1 = 4
  • y_1 = 2
  • x_2 = 9
  • y_2 = 1

Now, we can supply these values into the formula and solve for our slope, or a better known variable, <em>m</em>.

\displaystyle m = \frac{1 - 2}{9 - 4}\\\\m = \frac{-1}{5}\\\\m = -\frac{1}{5}

Therefore, our slope is \displaystyle -\frac{1}{5}.
