Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
let 7 + 3√2 be an rational number where
7+3√2 = a/b [ a and b are coprime and b is not equal to zero]
3√2= a/b-7
3√2 =( a-7b) /b
√2 = (a-7b) /3b .....(i)
Now ,from equation (i) ,we get that √2 is rational but we know that √2 is irrational. so actually 7 + 3√2 is irrational not rational. thus our assumption is wrong. The number is irrational.
So h is 3x
b is x
3x plus x equal 972
4x = 972
243 is base
243 times 3 is 729
24 pens divided by 2 boxes equals 12 pens per box.
I didn't mean to post the answer and can't figure out how to take it down. Somebody report it so it does go down and the question can be later answered. Thank you
Answer:
The time taken for the flare to hit the ground is approximately 10.7 seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Suppose a flare is shot from the top of a 120 foot building at a speed of 160 feet per second. The equation
models the h height at t seconds of the flare.
To find : How long will it take for the flare to hit the ground?
Solution :
The equation
models the h height at t seconds of the flare.
The flare to hit the ground when h=0.
Substitute in the equation,

Applying quadratic formula, 
Where, a=-16, b=160 and c=120





Reject the negative value.
Therefore, the time taken for the flare to hit the ground is approximately 10.7 seconds.
