2. You throw a softball straight up into the air at a velocity of 30 feet per second. You release the softball at a height of 5.

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

$-16t^2+30t+5.8$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Initial velocity=30 ft/s

Initial position= $s_0=5.8 ft$

We have to write a mathematical model for height of the softball by using the position equation

The position equation on Earth's surface is given by

$h(t)=-16t^2+v_0t+s_0$

Where $v_0=$ Initial velocity

$s_0$ =Initial position

Substitute the values in the equation then, we get

$h(t)=-16t^2+30t+5.8$

Hence, the mathematical model for height of the softball is given by

$-16t^2+30t+5.8$

ABC and EDC are straight lines. EA is parallel to DB. EC = 8.1 cm. DC = 5.4 cm. DB = 2.6 cm. (a) Work out the length of AE. cm (

harkovskaia [24]

By applying the knowledge of similar triangles, the lengths of AE and AB are:

a. $\mathbf{AE = 3.9 $ cm}\\\\$

b. $\mathbf{AB = 2.05 $ cm} \\\\$

<em>See the image in the attachment for the referred diagram.</em>

<em />

The two triangles, triangle AEC and triangle BDC are similar triangles.
Therefore, the ratio of the corresponding sides of triangles AEC and BDC will be the same.

<em>This implies that</em>:

AC/BC = EC/DC = AE/DB

<em><u>Given:</u></em>

$EC = 8.1 $ cm\\\\DC = 5.4 $ cm\\\\DB = 2.6 cm\\\\AC = 6.15 $ cm$

<u>a. </u><u>Find the length of </u><u>AE</u><u>:</u>

EC/DC = AE/DB

Plug in the values

$\frac{8.1}{5.4} = \frac{AE}{2.6}$

Cross multiply

$5.4 \times AE = 8.1 \times 2.6\\\\5.4 \times AE = 21.06$

Divide both sides by 5.4

$AE = \frac{21.06}{5.4} = 3.9 $ cm$

<u>b. </u><u>Find the length of </u><u>AB:</u>

$AB = AC - BC$

AC = 6.15 cm

To find BC, use AC/BC = EC/DC.

Plug in the values

$\frac{6.15}{BC} = \frac{8.1}{5.4}$

Cross multiply

$BC \times 8.1 = 6.15 \times 5.4\\\\BC = \frac{6.15 \times 5.4}{8.1} \\\\BC = 4.1$

Thus:

$AB = AC - BC$

Substitute

$AB = 6.15 - 4.1\\\\AB = 2.05 $ cm$

Therefore, by applying the knowledge of similar triangles, the lengths of AE and AB are:

a. $\mathbf{AE = 3.9 $ cm}\\\\$

b. $\mathbf{AB = 2.05 $ cm} \\\\$

Find the common difference of the arithmetic sequence.

slavikrds [6]

Each time you are subtracting 1/9 to get the next term

For example, going from term 2 to term 3 is a difference of -1/9

(1 8/9) - (1/9) = 1 7/9

which is why the answer is choice A

15x = 7x + 8x

$x^2+15x=-56\\\\ x^2+15x+56=0\\\\ x^2+7x+8x+56=0\\\\x(x+7)+8(x+7)=0\\\\ (x+7)(x+8)=0 \\\\ x=-7 \ or \ x=-8$
