A ball is thrown into the air with an initial upward velocity of 60ft/s. Its height h in feet after t seconds is given by the function h=-16t^2+60t+6a. After how many seconds will the ball hit the ground?
b.What will the height be at t=3 seconds
Also, please show work, thanks!

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Part a.

You need to solve the quadratic function h = -16t^2 + 60 t + 6 = 0

-16t^2 + 60 t + 6 = 0

Divide by 2, just to make the numbers easier

-8t^2 + 30t + 3 = 0

Use the quadratic formula to find the roots

t=[ -b ± √(b^2-4ac) ] /2a

t=[-30 ± √(30^2-4(-8)(3) ]/2(-8)

t=[-30 ± √(900 + 96) ]/(-16)

t=[-30 ± √(996) ]/(-16)

t=[-30 ± 31.56) ]/(-16)

t=[-61.56) ]/(-16) = 3.85 s

Part b)

h = -16t^2 + 60 t + 6
h (3) = -16(3)^2 + 60 (3) + 6 = -144 + 180 + 6 = 42 ft

Answers

6 + 3(x - 5) - ( x + 3) =

it is best to simplify the expression
6 + 3x - 15 - x - 3 =

2x + 6 - 18 =

2x - 12 = 

Now we put the value of    x = -4

2 * (-4) - 12 = -8 - 12 = -20

2. way

6 + 3*(x – 5) – (x + 3)

immediately we insert a value of x = -4

6 + 3* (-4 -5) - (-4 + 3) =

6 + 3 * (-9) -(-1)=

6 - 27 +1 = -27 + 7 = -20

The area of a rectangular city park is 25/54 square miles. The length of the park is 5/9 mile. What is the width, in miles, of the park?

Answers

area of rectangle = 24/54 square miles
length(L) = 5/9 miles
width (W)= ?
area = L * W
25/54 = 5/9 * W
W =  (25/54) / (5/9) = (25 * 9) / (54 * 5)
 W = 5/6 miles

42% = 210 so, 
42/100=210/x
Cross multiply-
42x=21000
Divide by 42 on both sides and you get- 500

Answer:

500 Total people were surveyed

Step-by-step explanation:

All you gotta do is divide the number of football players, 210, by the percentage, 0.42. And when you divide 210 by 0.42, you get the total number of people surveyed, which was 500.

210 ÷ 0.42 = 500
