22. The height of a projectile as a function of time

Mathematics

Answer:

The ball is six feet above the ground after two seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of a projectile as a function of time is modeled by the function:

\displaystyle h(t) = -2.5t^2 + 5t + 6

And we want to determine after how many seconds is the ball six feet above the ground.

In other words, we can let h(t) = 6 and solve for <em>t</em>. This yields:

\displaystyle (6) = -2.5t^2 + 5t + 6

Solve for <em>t: </em>

<em />\displaystyle \begin{aligned}6 &= -2.5t^2 + 5t + 6 \\ 0 &= -2.5t^2 + 5t \\ 2.5t^2 - 5t &= 0 \\ 2.5t(t-2) &= 0 \end{aligned}<em />

By the Zero Product Property:

2.5t = 0\text{ or } t - 2 = 0

Hence:

t = 0\text{ or } t = 2

In conclusion, the ball is six feet above the ground after two seconds.

I can answer the slopes

Answer:

1. would have a slope of 2

2. would have a slope of -1.66

3.would have a slope of 0

4. would have a slope of -13

Step-by-step explanation:

(Y2 - Y1) / (X2 -X1)

1. (9-5) / (4-2) = 4 / 2 =2

2. (-5-5) / (3 - -3) = -10 / 6 = 1.66

3. (2 - 2) / (5 - -4) = 0 / 9 = 0

4. (-7 - 6) / (3 - 3) = -13 / 0 = -13

A bacteria cell splits into two cells every hour. Write and evaluate an exponential expression to find how many cells there will
ryzh [129]
Easy

equation is
f(x)=2ˣ

where x=number of hours elapsed

after 6 hours
f(6)=2⁶=64 bacteria


to solve for 1024

1024=2ˣ
take ln of both sides
ln(1024)=ln(2ˣ)
ln(1024)=x(ln(2))
divide both sides by ln(2)
ln(1024)/ln(2)=x
using calculator
10=x

or you could recognize that
1024=2¹⁰
or keep divising 1024 by 2


10 hours for 1024 bacteria
