Find the value of x 50 x

A bird sees a worm on the ground 50 m. below. The bird dives for the worm at a speed of 6 m/sec. The function h\left( t \right)

iragen [17]

Given:

The height of the bird at time t is given by the function $h(t)=-4.9t^2+6t+50$

We need to determine the time it takes the worm to be eaten by the bird.

Time taken:

The time can be determined by substituting h(t) = 0 in the function.

Thus, we have;

$0=-4.9t^2+6t+50$

Switch sides, we get;

$-4.9t^2+6t+50=0$

Let us solve the equation using the quadratic formula.

Thus, we get;

$t=\frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{6^{2}-4(-4.9) 50}}{2(-4.9)}$

Simplifying, we get;

$t=\frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{36+980}}{-9.8}$

$t=\frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{1016}}{-9.8}$

$t=\frac{-6 \pm 31.87}{-9.8}$

The values of t are given by

$t=\frac{-6 + 31.87}{-9.8}$ and $t=\frac{-6 - 31.87}{-9.8}$

$t=\frac{25.87}{-9.8}$ and $t=\frac{-37.87}{-9.8}$

$t=-2.4$ and $t=3.9$

Since, the value of t cannot be negative, then $t=3.9$

Thus, the time taken by the bird to eat the worm is $t=3.9$ seconds.

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.

At the movie theatre, child admission is $6.40 and adult admission is $9.70. On Monday, 155 tickets were sold for a total sales

Molodets [167]

Less than or equal to 121 adult tickets.

You would do 1180.10/9.70

Which equals 121

Since we don't know how many children tickets were, sold it could be less than or equal to 121.

The teacher kept track of how long it took students to finish a test. After 20 minutes, 3 students had finished the test.

Plz help me thanks very nuch whoever helped me

Answer:

(1) 56 miles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the average rate of change from t = 2 to t = 9.

At t = 2 hours, d = 106 miles.

At t = 9 hours, d = 498 miles.

The average rate of change in function f(x) from x = a to x = b is

[f(b) - f(a)]/(b - a)

average rate of change from t = 2 to t = 9 =

(498 - 106)/(9 - 2) = 392/7 = 56

Answer: (1) 56 miles/hour

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line that passes through point (–3, 8) is y = –x + 6. What is the point-slope form

Alex

The other format for straight-line equations is called the "point-slope" form. For this one, they give you a point (x1, y1) and a slope m, and have you plug it into this formula:

y – y1 = m(x – x1)

Don't let the subscripts scare you. They are just intended to indicate the point they give you. You have the generic "x" and generic "y" that are always in your equation, and then you have the specific x and y from the point they gave you; the specific x and y are what is subscripted in the formula. Here's how you use the point-slope formula:

Find the equation of the straight line that has slope m = 4 and passes through
the point (–1, –6).This is the same line that I found on the previous page, so I already know what the answer is (namely, y = 4x – 2). But let's see how the process works with the point-slope formula.They've given me m = 4, x1 = –1, and y1 = –6. I'll plug these values into the point-slope form, and solve for "y=":y – y1 = m(x – x1)
y – (–6) = (4)(x – (–1))
y + 6 = 4(x + 1)
y + 6 = 4x + 4
y = 4x + 4 – 6y = 4x – 2 Copyright © Elizabeth Stapel 2000-2011 All Rights Reserved

This matches the result I got when I plugged into the slope-intercept form. This shows that it really doesn't matter which method you use (unless the text or teacher specifies). You can get the same answer either way, so use whichever method works more comfortably for you.
