Answer:
2.33 Seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation y = -6t^2 - 10t + 56 expresses the height of a ball at a given time, t, on the planet Mars. We are also given that the ball is thrown with a velocity of 10 feet per second with the initial height of 56 feet.
To find the amount of time to reach the ground, we can say that the time being found will be when the ball is on the ground, or when y = 0. So we simply set our equation to 0 and solve for t.
y = -6t^2 - 10t + 56
0 = -6t^2 - 10t + 56
0 = -1 (6t^2 + 10t + -56)
0 = -1 (3t - 7) (2t + 8)
(3t - 7) = 0 OR (2t + 8) = 0
3t = 7 OR 2t = -8
t = 7/3 OR t = -4
Since time will not be negative, we will want to choose the positive solution for this quadratic equation.
Hence, the amount of time for the ball to hit the ground will be 7/3 seconds or 2.33 seconds.
Cheers.
Answer:
the center is (3,1) and the radius is √6.
Step-by-step explanation:
The center of a circle can be found using the equation
and is (h,k) from it. Notice h and k are the opposite value as in the equation.
First write the equation in this form.
Complete the square with each variable to find what numbers should go in place of the question marks.
Add 1 and 9 to both sides of the equation.
So the center is (3,1) and the radius is √6.
A, is your answer ! Hope it helps
