It took Jason 20 days to write his college essay. He wrote half a page (0.5) every day. How long was the report?I need an explan

Anna35 [415]

The report was 10 pages. This is because we know that Jason wrote half a page a day, and if he consistently wrote each day and I took him a total of 20 days to finish, all you would have to do is multiply 20 by .5 (half a page), you would then get 10, which means that in 20 days he wrote 10 pages

Marina CMI [18]

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

Here we know that Margie is standing on a bridge looking at the river. She throws a rock over the bridge with an initial velocity of 60 ft/sec. The height, h, of the rock at the rime t seconds after it was thrown can be modeled by the equation:

$h(t) = -16t^2+60t+72$

To calculate how long will it take for the rock to reach the surface of the water, we need to set $h(t)=0$ . So:

$0 = -16t^2+60t+72 \\ \\ \\ \text{Using quadratic formula}: \\ \\ t=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ \\ \\ a=-16 \\ \\ b=60 \\ \\ c=72 \\ \\ \\ t=\frac{-60 \pm \sqrt{60^2-4(-16)(72)}}{2(-16)} \\ \\ t=\frac{-60 \pm \sqrt{60^2-4(-16)(72)}}{2(-16)} \\ \\ t=\frac{-60 \pm \sqrt{8208}}{-32} \\ \\ t_{1}=4.70 \\ \\ t_{2}=-0.95$

Given that time can't be negative, we just choose the positive value. Therefore, <em>it will take 4.70 seconds for the rock to reach the surface water.</em>
