Arturiano [62]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

3.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = 21 miles

Speed * time

Speed * time = distance

Tom speed = 2 mph

Brian = 4 mph

Let time = t

Brian distance + Tom's distance = total distance

4t + 2t = 21

6t = 21

t = 21 / 6

t = 3.5 hours

Name an equivalent ratio for 1/2 with a denominator of 20
Westkost [7]
To begin with, equivalent fractions represent the same part of a whole number. So I need to find a fraction, with a denominator of 20, that is the same value as 1/2: 
1/2 = ?/20
1*10/2*10 = 10/20

Since the denominator needed to be 20, I multiplied the numerator and the denominator (1/2) by 10 to get 10/20. So, 1/2 and 10/20 are equivalent.

A ball is thrown from a height of 38 meters with an initial downward velocity of 3 m/s
ANTONII [103]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The ball will hit the ground after t=2.47s

<h2>Why?</h2>

Since we are given a quadratic function, we can calculate the roots (zeroes) using the quadratic formula.  We must take into consideration that we are talking about time, it means that we should only consider positive values.

So,

\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac} }{2a}

We are given the function:

h=-5t^{2}-3t+38

Where,

a=-5\\b=-3\\c=38

Then, substituting it into the quadratic equation, we have:

\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac} }{2a}=\frac{-(-3)+-\sqrt{(-3)^{2} -4*-5*38} }{2*-5}\\\\\frac{-(-3)+-\sqrt{(-3)^{2} -4*-5*38} }{2*-5}=\frac{3+-\sqrt{9+760} }{-10}\\\\\frac{3+-\sqrt{9+760} }{-10}=\frac{3+-\sqrt{769} }{-10}=\frac{3+-27.731}{-10}\\\\t1=\frac{3+27.731}{-10}=-3.073s\\\\t2=\frac{3-27.731}{-10}=2.473s

Since negative time does not exists, the ball will hit the ground after:

t=2.473s=2.47s

Have a nice day!
