Step-by-step explanation:

f(t) = -16t² + 126t

for what values of t did this function deliver 50 ft of height ?

50 = -16t² + 126t

-16t² + 126t - 50 = 0

the general solution to such a squared equation is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case

x = t

a = -16

b = 126

c = -50

t = (-126 ± sqrt(126² - 4×-16×-50))/(2×-16) =

= (-126 ± sqrt(15876 - 3200))/-32 =

= (-126 ± sqrt(12676))/-32 =

= (-126 ± 112.5877436...)/-32

t1 = (-126 + 112.5877436...)/-32 = -13.41225644.../-32 =

= 0.419133014... ≈ 0.42 seconds

t2 = (-126 - 112.5877436...)/-32 = -238.5877436.../-32 =

= 7.455866986... ≈ 7.46 seconds

so, this means, right after launch the ticket reaches 50ft (from below) after 0.42 seconds, and then, when it falls back down, it will reach 50ft again (this time from above) after 7.46 seconds of flight time.

What is the slope of the line through (-9, 6) and (-3, 9)?<br> Choose 1 answer:
trasher [3.6K]

Given: Points (-9, 6) and (-3, 9)

Find:  The slope of the line that goes through those two points

Solution: In order to find the slope of the line that goes through the points that were provided we have to use the slope formula.  This formula subtracts the y-coordinates from each other and also the x-coordinates from each other to determine the rise/run which would give us the rate of change.

<u>Plug in the values</u>

  • m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
  • m = \frac{9 - 6}{-3 - (-9)}

<u>Simplify the expression</u>

  • m = \frac{3}{-3 + 9}
  • m = \frac{3}{6}
  • m = \frac{1}{2}

Therefore, looking at the given options we can see that the best fitting one would be option A, 1/2.

What is the slope-intercept form of the linear equation 2x–8y=322x–8y=32 ?
gladu [14]
2x - 8y = 32
-8y = -2x + 32
y = (-2/-8)x - 32/8
y = 1/4x - 4 <== slope intercept form

defon

Answer:

W = 5 in.

L = 17 in

Step-by-step explanation

L = Length W = Width

L = 2 + 3w

44 = 2L + 2W

44 = 2(2+3W) + 2W

44 = 4 + 6W + 2W

40 = 8W

5 = W
