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

Answer:

  C

Step-by-step explanation:

The step shown indicates that y was eliminated from the equations. For choices A, B, D, this is done by adding the equations together (the y-coefficients are opposites). The result of doing that gives x-terms of 4x, 0x, and 0x, respectively. These x-terms do not match the one given: 2x.

For choice C, the y-term is eliminated by subtracting twice the second equation from the first. Doing that gives ...

  (4x +2y) -2(x +y) = (14) -2(3)

  4x +2y -2x -2y = 14 -6 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  2x = 8 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Shifted 5 unit right side then stretched vertically by the factor 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, parent function,

f(x)=\frac{1}{x}

Transformed function,

f(x) = \frac{100}{x-5}

Since, if a function f(x) gives cf(x), where c is any number,

Then the function was vertically stretched by factor c,

While, the function gives f(x-c),

Then the function was shifted c unit right.

Hence, the graph of f(x)=\frac{1}{x} was shifted 5 unit right side then stretched vertically by the factor 100 to create the graph of f(x)=\frac{100}{x-5}
