Point p is the midpoint of de dp 6x+4 and de = 14x -10

1 answer:

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

A midpoint is found by adding up two numbers and then dividing by 2 (Also known as an average). Therefore, a midpoint marks half of a line. That means that DP is 1/2 of DE. We can now form an equation. 6x + 4 = 1/2 * (14x - 10), making 6x + 4 = 7x - 5 by using the distributive property. Next, isolate x by subtracting by 6x on both sides and adding by 5 on both sides. You would get x = 5 + 4, which means that x = 9.

Martin throws a ball straight up in the air. the equation h(t) = -16t^2 + 40t + 5 gives the height of the ball, in feet, t secon

Lisa [10]

Answer:

2.62 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

t ----> the time in seconds

h(t) ----> he height of the ball, in feet

we have

$h(t)=-16t^2+40t+5$

we know that

When the ball hits the ground, the height is equal to zero

so

$-16t^2+40t+5=0$

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

$at^{2} +bt+c=0$

is equal to

$t=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$-16t^2+40t+5=0$

so

$a=-16\\b=40\\c=5$

substitute in the formula

$t=\frac{-40\pm\sqrt{40^{2}-4(-16)(5)}} {2(-16)}$

$t=\frac{-40\pm\sqrt{1,920}} {-32}$

$t=\frac{-40+\sqrt{1,920}} {-32}=-0.12\ sec$

$t=\frac{-40-\sqrt{1,920}} {-32}=2.62\ sec$

therefore

The solution is t=2.62 seconds
