About 4.1 seconds. How long was the ball in the air? We are told that t represents time in seconds since the ball was thrown, so it started to be 'in the air' at t = 0 To answer the question, then, we need to know the time when it stopped being in the air. We are told that the ball hit the ground. So that's what happened when it stopped being airborne. We need to relate that event to the mathematics we're working with. What can we say about h , the height of the ball when the ball hits the ground? Answer: The height will be 0 when the ball stops being in the air. Now translate this back to the mathematics: The ball is in the air from t = 0 until the time t when h = 0 . Find the time t that makes h = 0 . That means: solve: − 5 t 2 + 20 t + 2 = 0 We can solve this by solving: 5 t 2 − 20 t − 2 = 0 (Either multiply both sides of the equation by − 1 , or add 5 x 2 − 20 x and − 2 to both sides and then re-write it the other way around) That's a quadratic equation, so try to factor first. But don't spend too much time trying to factor, because not every quadratic is easily factorable and that's OK, because we still have the quadratic formula if we need it. We do need it. t = − ( − 20 ) ± √ ( − 20 ) 2 − 4 ( 5 ) ( − 2 ) 2 ( 5 ) = 20 ± √ 440 10 = 20 ± √ 4 ( 110 ) 10 = 20 ± 2 √ 110 10 = 2 ( 10 ± √ 110 ) 2 ( 5 ) = 10 ± √ 110 5 We can see that 10 < √ 110 < 11 . In fact ( 10 + 1 2 ) 2 = 10 2 + 10 + 1 4 = 110.25 Using 10.25 as an approximation for √ 110 , we get : for the solution t = 10 − √ 110 5 we'll get a negative t . That doesn't make sense. The other solution gives t ≈ 10 + 10.25 5 = 20.5 5 = 4.1 seconds. So the ball was in the air from t = 0 until about t = 4.1 . The elapsed time is the difference, 4.1 seconds.

For the question: "My quadrilateral has a pair of equal sides and a pair of parallel sides, what special type my quadrilateral m
Effectus [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It must be a trapezoid because a trapezoid has at least one set of parallel sides.  Sides of equal length don't mean anything really unless we know hose sides are parallel.  I will say sometimes I hear trapezoids ONLY have two parallel sides, while the other two are not, while in other places as long as two are parallel it is a trapezoid.  It looks like for this question it is using the definition that at least two parallel sides makes it a trapezoid.

it can be an isosceles trapezoid since it is a type of trapezoid,  same with right trapezoid.  Basically any special kind of trapezoid

parallelogram because it can have two pairs of parallel lines and have thos parallel sides be equal.  So this also means it can be all kinds of parallelograms.  

Do you have a list to choose from?  because most I pull up don't include right trapezoid at least.

This leaves kite as the only kind of quadrilateral to look at yet, and it specifies no parallel sides. bt your shape need at least one set of them, so it cannot be a kite.

State the slope and the y-intercept for the graph of the equation. y= -2
kotegsom [21]

Answer: 0; -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Data: y-intercept=x and slope=x

Equation=y=-2

Only step, Point out the y-intercept and slope

-2=y-intercept

0=slope

Reason: Since there is no visible slope, the placeholder would be 0 therefore the slope would be 0, -2 is the only number left so that means the only number that can be y-intercept is -2.

That is why the slope is 0 and the y-intercept is -2

I hope this helps!
