You’re gonna have to use the quadratic formula here and a bit of thinking. We know y is height, and once it touches the ground, it will be 0.
(-b +- sqrt b^2 - 4ac)/2a
2 +- sqrt(4 + 48(400))/-32
(2 +- 138.58)/-32
We don’t want a negative time because it’ll make no sense. So do subtraction
(2-138.58)/-32 = 4.27 seconds aka 4.3 seconds
Complete question :
A 12-foot by 15-foot patio is increased by placing a stone border around the patio. The width of the border is the same all around the patio.The perimeter of the patio after it is expanded is 74 feet. The equation which represents x, the width of the border is 2[(12+2x)+15+2x)]=74. What is the width of the border?
1) 2 1/2 feet
2) 3 feet
4) 5 feet
5) 8 1/2 feet
Answer:
2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving for X in the perimeter equation :
2[(12+2x)+15+2x)]=74
Open the bracket
2[(12 + 2x + 15 + 2x)] = 74
2(27 + 4x) = 74
54 + 8x = 74
8x = 74 - 54
8x = 20
x = 20/8
x = 2.5
Hence, width fo border = 2.5
26/100 or simplified to 13/50
8 can go into 71 seven times
Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
There can be 0, 1 or infinitely many solutions. 0 if they are parallel and are different lines, 1 if the slopes are different, and infinitely many if they are the same line.
2x - 4y = 8
x + y = 7
Change to y = mx + b
y = (1/2)x - 2
y = -x + 7
The slopes are different so there is 1 solution.
