Answer:

5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The given height h, in feet, of the ball at time t, in seconds is defined by the function

h=-16t^2+80t

The height of the ball is 0 if it reached on the ground.

Substitute h=0 in the given function.

0=-16t^2+80t

0=-16t(t-5)

Using 0 product property, we get

-16t=0\Rightarrow t=0

(t-5)\Rightarrow t=5

It means ball will reach the ground at t=0(initial condition) and t=5.

Therefore, the ball will reach the ground after 5 seconds.

The ball hits the ground when the height  h(t) = 0 , so

-16t^2 + 80t = 0

-16t(t - 5) = 0

t- 5 = 0  or -16t^2 = 0 (  here t = 0 which corresponds to when ball is thrown)

t - 5 = 0 gives:-

t = 5 seconds  (answer)

The night watchman in a factory cannot guard both the safe in back and the cash register in front. The safe contains $6000, whil
Zolol [24]

Answer:

The guard should be positioned at the safe

Step-by-step explanation:

The night watchmen should be positioned to guard whichever place gives the highest expected value to the thief.

The expected value of robbing the safe is:

EV_{s} = \$ 6000*0.2\\EV_{s} = \$ 1200

The expected value of robbing the cash register is:

EV_{r} = \$ 1000*0.8\\EV_{r} = \$ 800

Therefore, the guard should be positioned at the safe since it yields a higher expected value to the thief in case he tries to rob it.

First,you do,2/5+2/3,but since you will need a common denominator,you will find the least common denominator for 5 and 3.The LCD(Least Common Denominator) will be 15 since both 5 and 3 could go in 15.Now,the equation looks like this: 2/15+2/15 since whatever you do to the bottom numbers,you NEED to do to the top numbers:2 and 2.Now you will need to do,2x3,since 5x3=15 and the answer to 2x3=6 then you do 2x5,since 3x5=15 the answer is 10 now the equation looks like this:6/15+10/15 now you add them together,and the answer will be 16/15 and if you want the answer to be a mixed number,it would look like this: 1 1/15. Hope this helps!

The measure of an angles suppliment is 53° more than twice that of its compliment. find the angle.
Anettt [7]
(180-x)-2(90-x)= 53
Remember that complimentary angles add to 90 and supplementary angles add to 180.

180-x-180+2x=53
x=53

Final answer: The angle is 53 degrees.
