An insect crawls up 5cm every second on a 6cm vertical rod and then falls down 2cm over the next second. How many seconds will i

Answer:

3 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

It's quite simple. First, add 5cm to the progress of the insect, counting it as 1 second. Then subtract 2cm because it falls over the next second, thus taking another second. Then finally, plus 5cm, making it 3 seconds. It's not 4 seconds because at 3 seconds it had already reached the top.

If I didn't clear everything or messed up, please comment.

Julia used 1 foot square stone tiles to make a patio. She laid the tiles in a square, 7 tiles wide by 7 tiles long. What is the
marshall27 [118]

Answer: 49\ ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula that is used to calculate the area of a square is this one:

A=s^2

Where "s" is the side lenght of the square

You know that Julia used 1 foot square stone tiles, then each side lenght of the this tiles is:

s_{tile}=\sqrt{1\ ft^2}\\\\s_{tile}=1\ ft

Since Julia laid 7 tiles wide by 7 tiles long, the side lenght of the new patio is:

s_{patio}=7(1\ ft)\\\\s_{patio}=7\ ft

Therefore its area is:

A_{patio}=(7\ ft)^2\\\\A_{patio}=49\ ft^2

After t seconds a ball tossed In the air from the ground level reaches a height and of h feet given by the function h(t)=144t-16
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Check the explantion

Step-by-step explanation:

H(t) represent the height of the ball after t seconds.

1)

In order to figure the maximum height of the ball we must minupulate this equation into a form where we can easily find the maximum height.

We can also see this parabola will be downward concaved because it has a negative coefficent for the t^2 term.

a) Let's Manipulate!

Vertex form is a form where we can easily tell the maximum and minimum points. To get in into Vertex form we just need to complete the sqaure.

Lets reanrage the terms

h(t)= -16t^2+144t

Undo the distrubitive propety

h(t)= -16(t^2-9t+20.25)+324

Add and subtract 324.

h(t) = -16(t-4.5)^2+324

COmplete the square.

b) Almost done!

We can now see that the stuff with the brackets is always positive/zero because any real number sqaured is a positive/zero. But than we multiply the positive stuff by a negative number (-16) so its now all negative.

The only exception is when its zero.

And off course if we add 324 to zero its always going to be greater than 324 + a negative number. To get the first term to be zero we can have t = 4.5.

c) Proove it!

h(4.5) = -16(4.5-4.5)^2+324

=324

d) Double Check by graphing!

(Its a attach screenshote by the way)

e) Answer:

The ball will reach its maximum height after 4.5 seconds.

Hoped this helped!,
