HI! I think the answer is 4.
Answer:
- Josh's book lands first
- Ben's lands about 0.648 seconds later
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the given equation for v=60 and s=40, the height of Ben's book is ...
h(t) = -16t² +60t +40
We want to find t when h(t) = 0, so we're looking for the solution to ....
0 = -16t² +60t +40
Using the quadratic formula, we find the positive value of t to be ...
t = (-60 -√(60² -4(-16)(40)))/(2(-16)) = (15 +√385)/8 ≈ 4.3277
__
Similarly, the height of Josh's book is ...
0 = -16t² +48t +40
t = (-48 -√(48² -4(-16)(40)))/(2(-16)) = (12 +√304)/8 ≈ 3.6794
__
The time before Josh's book lands is shorter by ...
4.3277 -3.6794 ≈ 0.6482 . . . . . seconds
Josh's book reaches the ground first, by about 0.648 seconds.

Answer:
280000lb
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we shall be calculating the amount of carbon iv oxide prevented from entering the atmosphere.
Generally we know that 1kwh produces 1.37 lbs of Carbon iv oxide in the atmosphere
Now, using a 100 watt light bulb daily for 8 hours, for a year, the amount of Carbon iv oxide produced will be;
100 * 1.37 * 8 * 365 = 40040 lb
Using a 30 watt CFL for 8hrs/ day for a year, we have;
30 * 1.37 * 8 * 365 = 120012 lb
Now calculating the amount of CO2 prevented, we have 40040 - 120012 = 280028 lb = 280000 after rounding up
