The height at time t is
h(t) = 144 - 16t²
When t = 0, then h = 144.
Therefore the height from the ground is 144 when the object is dropped.
When the object reaches the ground, h = 0.
Therefore
144 - 16t² = 0
t² = 144/16 = 9
t = 3 s
Answer:
The object reaches the ground in 3 seconds.
You can look for the number 16 on the x-axis. (bottom line) and put a finger there. Then, look for 19 on the y -axis (left line) and put a finger there. Trace your left finger to the right and your right hand up until they meet. That is (16,19)
I can solve with 2 methods:
I. Because the discount is 15 % of 18 $ , the price will be (100-15=85) 85 % of 18 $
18*85/100= 15,3 $ ( the sale price)
II. The discount is 15 % of 18$
15*18/100= 2,7$ ( the discount)
then I decrease it from the regularly price
18$-2,7$=15,3 $ (the sale price)
Personally I believe the first is an easier method.
I hope you understand and you can apply this in every similary problem.
We know the area of the middle rectangle is 48 (length * width). removing that rectangle leaves us with two semicircles. you can combine those semicircles to be the equivalent of one circle. the area for a circle is r^2 * pi. we know the diameter is 4 because that is where we cut the semicircles. radius is half the diameter, so r is 2. 2^2 is 4, 4* pi is 12.56. add 12.56 (area of semicircles) with 48 (area of rectangle) and we get 60.56
Solve for "y" and you get y=3x/2-2 and the equation for a line is y= mx+b, I mean the slope is the number which companion the "x" in the line equation, so the slope in your problem is 3/2
