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.

the length , breadth and height of a cuboid is 2x^2y cm,5y^2z cm and 4z^2x cm. The volume of the cuboid is ...............
kondor19780726 [428]

For this case we have that by definition, the volume of a cuboid is given by:

V = L * A * h

Where:

L: It's the long

A: It is the width

h: It is the height

According to the problem data we have:

L = 2x ^ 2y \ cm\\A = 5y ^ 2z \ cm\\h = 4z ^ 2x \ cm

So, the volume of the cuboid is:

V = (2x ^ 2y) (5y ^ 2z) (4z ^ 2x)\\V = 10x ^ 2y ^ 3z (4z ^ 2x)\\V = 40x ^ 3y ^ 3z ^ 3

Finally, the volume of the cuboid is: V = 40x ^ 3y ^ 3z ^ 3

Answer:

V = 40x ^ 3y ^ 3z ^ 3

What is the conditional relative frequency of selling an item marked 50% off, provided the item sold is item 2?
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Conditional relative frequency = 0.67

Step-by-step explanation:

               50% off        Buy 1, get 1 free      Total

Item 1         12                       8                      20

Item 2         20                      10                     30

Total           32                      18                     50

Condition relative frequency table:

               50% off        Buy 1, get 1 free      Total

Item 1         \frac{12}{20}=0.6             \frac{8}{20}=0.4            \frac{20}{20}=1

Item 2        \frac{20}{30}=0.67           \frac{10}{30}=0.33          \frac{30}{30}=1

Total            \frac{32}{50}=0.64           \frac{18}{50}=0.36          \frac{50}{50}=1

Therefore, conditional relative frequency of selling an item marked 50% off, provided the item sold is item 2 = 0.67

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

4:10

Step-by-step explanation:

No matter what even if fractions are similar to quotiants they aren't the same so if it was fractions this would be a improper fraction but in this case it isn't because they are totally different topics and ranks.

Which expressions are equivalent to 35+30s-45t?
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

B and C

Step-by-step explanation:

5 * (7 + 6s - 9t) = 7*5 + 6s *5  - 9t*5

                       = 35 + 30s - 45t

(-35 - 30s + 45t)*(-1) = (-35)*(-1) - 30s *(-1) + 45t*(-1)

                               = 35 + 30s - 45t

beth sold half of her comic books and then bought nine more. shoe now has 28. with how much did she begin?
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

<h2><em>38</em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe the answer would be 38 i'm not 100% sure but here is why i think so. If Beth sold half of her comic books and then bought nine more that would mean ahe had 19 before she bought the other 9 so 19x2 which is 38 so she began with 38 then sold half which is 19 and then bought 9 more to now have 28.
