A quarterback throws an incomplete pass. The height of the football at time t is modeled by the equation h(t) = –16t2 + 40t + 7.

Rounded to the nearest tenth, the solutions to the equation when h(t) = 0 feet are –0.2 s and 2.7 s. Which solution can be eliminated and why?

ANSWER

The solution that can be eliminated is - 0.2s because time does not read backwards and hence can never he negative.

EXPLANATION

The reason why we eliminate the solution of
- 0.2s
is that time cannot be negative.

While the ball is still in the hands of the quarterback, the time is
t = 0

As soon as he throws the ball, the time starts reading forward.

When
h(t) = 0
the ball is no longer in the air. The ball took some time to travel through space before landing.

Time does not read backwards, that is the reason why the time taken for the ball to land cannot be negative.

In a game show, players play multiple rounds to score points. Each round has 3 times as many points available as the previous ro
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

p = 25(3)^n

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Round 0 1 2 3

Points 25 75 225 675

Required

Determine the equation

Let n = rounds and p = points.

So, we have:

(n_1,p_1) = (0,25)

(n_2,p_2) = (1,75)

(n_2,p_2) = (3,225)

The above shows a geometric progression.

So, we solve using

p = ab^n

In (n_1,p_1) = (0,25)

n = 0 and p = 25

Substitute these values in p = ab^n

25 = ab^0

25 = a*1

25 = a

a  = 25

In (n_2,p_2) = (1,75)

n = 1 and p = 75

Substitute these values in p = ab^n

75 = ab^1

75 = ab

Substitute 25 for a

75 = 25*b

Make b the subject

b = \frac{75}{25}

b = 3

So, we have:

a  = 25 and b = 3

The equation p = ab^n becomes

p = 25(3)^n

Cyndee is taking her siblings out for dessert. Ice cream, c, costs $4.00 per cone. Brownies, b, are $2.00 each. Water for everyo
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

The term that represent the amount of money she will spend on brownies is 2b

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

c ----> the number of cones

b ----> the number of brownies

we know that

The cost of desserts can be found using the expression

4c+2b+5

where

4c ----> is the term that represent the amount of money spend in cones

2b ----> is the term that represent the amount of money spend in brownies

5 ----> is the term that represent the amount of money spend in water

therefore

The term that represent the amount of money she will spend on brownies is 2b

That means ---> the number of brownies (b) multiplied by the cost of each brownie ($2)
