A water balloon is thrown out of a window 96 feet above the ground. The balloon is traveling downward at 16 feet per second init

ially. If h is the balloon’s height in feet after t seconds, then
h = -16t2 -16t + 96,

It will take the balloon ____ seconds to hit the ground.

Answer:

3 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are figuring out when the water balloon will hit the ground, y will need to be equal to 0.

0 = - 16t² - 16t + 96

Now we simply factor the trinomial to find t.

0 = -16(t² - t - 6)

0 = (t - 3)(t + 2)

t - 3 = 0 ⇒ t = 3

t + 2 = 0 ⇒ t = -2

Since we are referring to time, we need to use the positive value. Therefore, the water balloon will take 3 seconds to hit the ground.

Simplify.<br> (-3.9) + (6.01) - (-7.423)<br> -5.513.<br> 2.487.<br> 9.533.
lianna [129]
First, since we must follow PEMDAS, we need to do the operation that is first, which is addition. 

-3.9 + 6.01  ← Adding a negative means subtracting, then giving the sign of the bigger number.

So now we solved those and we got this answer: 2.11

Now, we need to subtract and re-write the expression.

2.11 - (-7.423) = 2.11 + 7.423= 9.533

Ok....so now we have our final answer, and we have the choices above.

The only answer that matches ours is the last one.

Final answer: 9.533

Hope I helped ^_^

Find the center and radius of the circle.<br> (x + 3)2 + (y + 4)2 =9
Tpy6a [65]

The general equation for any circle with its center at point (a, b) is

                 (x - a)² + (y - b)²  =  (radius)²

So the circle in the question is centered at (-3, -4), and its radius is  3 .

Q5.Jumbo is standing on top of a cliff looking at a speed boat out at sea.The vertical of the cliff from the base (sea level) to
Leni [432]

Answer:

A) 150 m

B) 180.28 m

Step-by-step explanation:

A) In order to find the horizontal distance from the base of the cliff to the speed boat, use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the length of the missing side.

We are told that one of the sides is 80 m and the hypotenuse is 170 m. Therefore,

  • a² + b² = c²
  • (80)² + b² = (170)²
  • b² = 170² - 80²
  • b² = 22500
  • b = 150

The horizontal distance between the base of the cliff and the boat is 150 m.

B) Now, the side that was 80 m is now 100 m (includes the height that the helicopter is above Jumbo). The horizontal distance remains the same, 150 m, but the hypotenuse is different. Solving for the hypotenuse will give us the distance between the helicopter and the speed boat.

  • (100)² + (150)² = c²
  • 32500 = c²
  • 180.28 = c

The distance between the helicopter and the speed boat is 180.28 m.
