Answer:

The time it takes for the stone to reach the ground is 3.94 s. This answer is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe there's a mistake in the equation shown, the acceleration (number that multiplies t²) should be negative, since the stone is falling, therefore I'll answer assuming it's -16 instead of 16, otherwise there would be no real solution to the equation.

In order to calculate how long it'll take for the stone to hit the ground we must make f(t) = 0 and find the time "t" that makes the equation valid, so we have:

f(t) = -16t² + 248 = 0

-16t² = -248

t² = -248/(-16) = 15.5

t = sqrt(15.5) = 3.94

What expression represents the sum of 8 and twice a number
jolli1 [7]
Idk if you have any choices or not but it should look like 8 + 2x
How to get the answer: sum means addition, and twice a number is 2 times it. We don't know the number so we'll use x. Two times a number is 2x
And since we are adding we will put an addition sign
8 + 2x

xeze [42]

Answer:

D.) Elliott has 212 cans, Amelia has 45 cans

Step-by-step explanation:

257 = x + (5x - 12)

257 = 6x - 13

+13           +13

270 = 6x

/6        /6

45 = x     (the amount of Amelia's cans)


257 - 45 = 212  (the amount of Elliott's cans)
