In a video game, a bird is flung on a sling shot and follows a parabolic path. The path of the bird can be modeled by the equati

on h=-16t²+55t+50, where h is the height of the bird t and is the amount of time, in seconds, the bird has been in the air. How long will it take the bird to reach a height of 40 feet in the air for the first time?

Answer:

  3.61 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The bird starts 50 feet in the air, so will come down to a height of 40 feet after 3.61 seconds.

We want to solve h = 40.

  40 = -16t^2 +55t +50

  16t^2 -55t -10 = 0

  t = (55 +√(55^2 -4(16)(-10)))/(2(16)) = (55 + √3665)/32 ≈ 3.61060

The bird will be 40 ft above the ground the first time after about 3.61 seconds.

Put these numbers in order from greatest to least.<br>0.012<br>0.002<br>0.02<br>0.512<br>​
prisoha [69]

Answer: 0.512, 0.020, 0.012, 0.002

Step-by-step explanation:

To put these decimals in the order from greatest to least, we first need to make sure they all have the same place values.

0.012, 0.002, 0.020, 0.512

Now that they have the same place values, we can see which is bigger.

0.512, 0.020, 0.012, 0.002

A particle moves according to a law of motion s = f(t), t ≥ 0, where t is measured in seconds and s in feet. (If an answer does
NNADVOKAT [17]

The question is not clear, but it is possible to obtain distance, s, from the given function. This, I would show.

Answer:

s = 17 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(t) = t³ - 8t² + 27t

Differentiating f(t), we have

f'(t) = 3t² - 16 t + 27

At t = 0

f'(t) = 27

This is the required obtainaible distance, s.

What number is 15% of 80?<br> use percent proportions
vova2212 [387]
!5% is equivalent to 15 parts over the whole 100 part. It is written in proportions as 15/100. 

Similarly, you need to find how many parts in 80 are equivalent to 15%or 15/100. So, just equate both equation with x as an unknown.

x/80 = 15/100
x = (15/100)*80
x = 12

Thus, the 15% of 80 is 12.
