Answer:
- Josh's book lands first
- Ben's lands about 0.648 seconds later
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the given equation for v=60 and s=40, the height of Ben's book is ...
h(t) = -16t² +60t +40
We want to find t when h(t) = 0, so we're looking for the solution to ....
0 = -16t² +60t +40
Using the quadratic formula, we find the positive value of t to be ...
t = (-60 -√(60² -4(-16)(40)))/(2(-16)) = (15 +√385)/8 ≈ 4.3277
__
Similarly, the height of Josh's book is ...
0 = -16t² +48t +40
t = (-48 -√(48² -4(-16)(40)))/(2(-16)) = (12 +√304)/8 ≈ 3.6794
__
The time before Josh's book lands is shorter by ...
4.3277 -3.6794 ≈ 0.6482 . . . . . seconds
Josh's book reaches the ground first, by about 0.648 seconds.
I’m not sure if it’s right but this is what i got

The answer is -4, hope this helped

This is the part missing:
<span>What is the height of the plane to the nearest meter?
Answer: 559 m.
Explanation:
1) The horizontal distance between the plane and tha atoll makes a right triangle with the height, with the depression angle between the two legs.
2) Therefore, you can use the tangent trigonometric ratio:
tan(10°) = opposite-leg / adyacent-leg = height / horizontal distance
⇒ height = horizontal distance × tan (10°)
⇒ height = 3,172 m × tan(10°) = 559.31 m, which rounded to the nearest m is 559

A^2 + b^2 = c^2
a^2 + 7^2 = 11^2
49= 121
121 - 49 = 72
Square root(72) = 8.49
or you can just keep the square root symbol with 72 under it
