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

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for this line.
iVinArrow [24]

Answer: y = 5/2x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - (-9) = 5/2(x- (-6))

y + 9 = 5/2(x+ 6)

y +9 = 5/2x + 15

y = 5/2x + 15 - 9

y = 5/2x +6

Three numbers X, Y, and Z are in the ratio 2:7:8. If 12 is subtracted from Y, then three numbers form a geometric sequence (in t
Dimas [21]
A geometric sequence is a sequence in which there is a common ratio between any two consecutive terms. In this case if X:Y:Z are in the ratio of 2:7:8 the multiplying by a constant k, we have X=2k, Y= 7k and Z=8k.
Then if  X, Y-12, Z form a Geometric sequence, it means X/Y-12=Y-12/Z which is the same as 2k/7k-12=7k-12/8k if we cross multply, we get
   16k²= 49k²-168k +144
  33k²-168k+144 =0 solving for k
k = 4 or 1.091 if we take the whole number  to find the values of X,Y and z,
X= 8, Y= 28 and Z=32
