Mrs.Peterson dropped a ball from the top of a tower. At the same time, her son, Drake, launches a rocket from a different level

of the tower.
The height of the tennis ball in feet after t seconds can be represented by the quadratic function: b(t)=-t^2-2t+26.
The height of Drakes rocket after t seconds can be represented by the linear function: p(t)=-2t+10.
What are the two solutions to this system? Show your work.
Explain which solution is not reasonable in this situation.
After how many seconds do the rocket and the ball reach the same height.

Answer:

  • two solutions: t = -4, t = 4
  • t = -4 is not reasonable
  • 4 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

A graphing calculator shows the two solutions to be ...

  (t, h) = (-4, 18) and (4, 2)

__

The two heights will be equal when ...

  p(t) = b(t)

  -2t +10 = -t^2 -2t +26

  t^2 -16 = 0 . . . . subtract the right side expression

  (t -4)(t +4) = 0 . . . factor the difference of squares

  t = 4 or -4 . . . . values of t that make the factors zero

At these times, the heights will be ...

  p(t) = -2{4, -4} +10 = {-8, 8} +10 = {2, 18}

The solutions are ...

  (t, height) = (-4, 18) and (4, 2).

__

We generally discount solutions for negative time, because we start counting time when the objects are launched. t = -4 is an extraneous solution.

__

The rocket and ball reach the same height after 4 seconds.

A cable for a power transformer forms
posledela

Answer:

32 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram, the side opposite the 60° angle is 28 feet.

We are looking for the approximate length of the cable.

The approximate length of the cable is the hypotenuse of the triangle shown.

Recall the sine ratio from SOH-CAH-TOA

Which means Sine of the angle is Opposite/Hypotenuse

Let the hypotenuse be h, then we have:

\sin(60) =  \frac{28}{h}

0.866 =  \frac{28}{h}

h =  \frac{28}{0.866}

h = 32.33

The length of the cable is approximately 32 feet

A regular convex polygon has eight sides. What is the measure of an exterior angle?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The measure of one exterior angle is 45 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find exterior angle of and shape is 360 degrees divided by n (number of sides the shape has). 360 divided by 8 = 45 degrees.

What is the value of x?​
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a sphere is

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

We are told our volume is 500pi/3, so we fill that in and solve for r:

\frac{500\pi}{3}=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

Start by multiplying both sides by 3 over 4 pi:

(\frac{3}{4\pi})\frac{500\pi}{3}=(\frac{3}{4\pi})\frac{4\pi}{3}r^3

Simplifying gives us

125=r^3

Take the cubed root of both sides to get that

r = 5

Contact [7]

Answer:

47

Step-by-step explanation:

In the picture attached, the Venn diagram is shown.

We can see in the picture that the intersection between C and M (symbolized by C∩M) is made by two regions, one with 22 employees and another one with 25 employees, then 22+25 = 47 satisfy C∩M
