4 0

Answer:

5.48 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

12 inches is 1 foot.

12.8 times that length will have 12.8 times that weight:

12.8 · 0.428 lb = 5.4784 lb ≈ 5.48 lb

The given values have 3 significant figures, so the answer needs to be rounded to 3 significant figures.

Answer:

Start at -150, then add 3(-5), then add 122.2. -150 + 3(-5) + 122.2 = -45.3.

The height after t seconds of an object projected upward with an initial velocity of 48 feet per second from a 210-foot tower ca

svetlana [45]

Given:

The height h of an object after t seconds is

$h=-16t^2+48t+210$

The height of a neighboring 50-foot tall building is modeled by the equation h=50.

The time (t) when the object will be at the same height as the building is found to be t = –2 and t = 5.

To find:

The statement which describes the validity of these solutions.

Solution:

We have,

$h=-16t^2+48t+210$

Here, t is the time in seconds.

For t=-2,

$h=-16(2)^2+48(-2)+210$

$h=-64-96+210$

$h=50$

For t=5,

$h=-16(5)^2+48(5)+210$

$h=-400+240+210$

$h=50$

So, the value of h is 50 at t=-2 and t=5.

We know that time is always positive so it cannot be negative value. It means t=-2 is not possible.

The solution t = 5 is the only valid solution to this system since time cannot be negative.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

Why do we use scientific notation, and what are the parts of an expression written in scientific notation?

kiruha [24]

Answer:

We use scientific notation as sometimes numbers are so so big, that it becomes inconvenient for us to write the actual number.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, if you have 9 billion of something, you wouldn't want to write those 9 zeroes all the time.

When writing in scientific notation we count the number of decimal places to when we have one non-zero integer to the right of the decimal place. We then write that number and multiply it by ten to the number of decimal places you counted earlier.

e.g. 4.8 X 10^7
