Answer:

After 5 seconds object will hit the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

An object was thrown upwards form an 80 feet tower.

The height h after t seconds is represented by the equation h = -16t²+ 64t + 80

We have to find the time taken by the object to hit the ground.

At h = 0, object will hit the ground.

Now we solve the equation for h = 0

-16t² + 64t + 80 = 0

-16(t² - 4t - 5) = 0

t² - 4t - 5 = 0

t² - 5t + t - 5 = 0

t(t - 5) + 1(t - 5) = 0

(t - 5)(t + 1) = 0

t = 5, (-1)

Since time can not be negative so t = (-1) can not be the answer.

So t = 5 seconds will be the answer.

<span>The problem gives you:
h=-16t^2+64t+80
where
h is height in feet
t is time in secs

If it hits the ground, h = 0 so 
set h=0 and solve for t:
h=-16t^2+64t+80
0=-16t^2+64t+80
0=-4t^2+16t+5
Solving using the quadratic equation yields:
t = {-0.29, 4.29}
We can throw out the negative solution leaving
t = 4.29 seconds</span>

Answer:

See Below

Step-by-step explanation:

Thankfully, all the parts you need are given.

First, find the surface of one triangle

A = 1/2bh

A = 1/2(15)(9)

A = 1/2(135)

A = 67.5

Multiply by 4 to get the sum of all the sides.

67.5(4) = 270

Now find the surface area of one square

A = bh

A = (15)(15)

A = 225

multiply by 5 to get all 5 sides

225(5) = 1125

Add sums together

1125 + 270 = 1395

Determine whether each equation is a linear equation. Write yes or no. If yes, write the equation in standard form.
Svetllana [295]
This is indeed a linear equation. y-4x=9 in standard form is y=4x+9.

Expand (2x -3y)^5 using the given formula.
horrorfan [7]
(2x-3y)^5

(2x-3y)(2x-3y)(2x-3y)(2x-3y)(2x-3y)

1st and 2nd power :
(2x-3y)(2x-3y) = 2x(2x-3y)-3y(2x-3y) = 4x² - 6xy - 6xy + 9y²
= 4x² - 12xy + 9y²

3rd power:
(2x-3y)(4x² - 12xy + 9y²) = 2x(4x² - 12xy + 9y²) - 3y(4x² - 12xy + 9y²)
8x³ - 24x²y + 18xy² - 12x²y +36xy² - 27y³
8x³ - 24x²y - 12x²y + 18xy² + 36xy² - 27y³
8x³ - 36x²y + 54xy² - 27y³

4th power
(2x-3y)(8x³ - 36x²y + 54xy² - 27y³) = 2x(8x³ - 36x²y + 54xy² - 27y³) -3y(8x³ - 36x²y + 54xy² - 27y³) = 16x^4 - 72x³y + 108x²y² - 54xy³ - 24x³y + 108x²y² - 162xy³ + 81y^4
16x^4 - 72x³y - 24x³y + 108x²y² + 108x²y² - 54xy³ - 162xy³ + 81y^4
16x^4 - 96x³y + 216x²y² - 216xy³ + 81y^4

5th power
(2x-3y)(<span>16x^4 - 96x³y + 216x²y² - 216xy³ + 81y^4)

Which expression is a factor of 12x2 + 29x – 8?
stira [4]
12x^2 + 29x – 8 \\ \\ 12x^2 + 32x - 3x - 8 \\ \\ 4x (3x + 8) - (3x + 8) \\ \\ (3x + 8)(4x - 1) \\ \\

The final result is: (3x + 8)(4x - 1).
