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

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

unit \: rate =  \frac{distance}{time}

unit rate is similar to speed / velocity:

unit \: rate =  \frac{ (\frac{1}{2} )}{ (\frac{1}{3})} \\  \\  =  \frac{1}{2}  \div  \frac{1}{3}  \\  \\  =  \frac{1}{2}  \times  \frac{3}{1}  \\  \\  = >  { \boxed{ \boxed{unit \: rate  =   \frac{3}{2}  \: miles \: per \: hour}}}

Zachary purchased a computer for 1800 on a payment plan. Three months after he purchased the computer, his balance was 1350. Fiv
zubka84 [21]

<u>Solution-</u>

Zachary purchased a computer for 1800 on a payment plan.  (Initial Money)

3 months after he bought the computer, his balance was 1350. (Money after 3 months)

Total money paid in 3 months = 1800-1350 = 450

Money paid per month = 450/3 = 150

5 months after he bought the computer, his balance was 1050.

Total spent = 1800-1050 = 750 = (5× 150)

So the equation that models the balance b after m months,

b = 1800 - m(150)

∴ Here, the slope signifies the constant monthly deduction of $150.
