Greg is in a car at the top of a roller-coaster ride. The distance, d, of the car from the ground as the car descends is determined by the equation d = 144 – 16t2, where t is the number of seconds it takes the car to travel down to each point on the ride. For which interval of time is Greg’s car moving in the air?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

It takes 3 seconds over the interval [0,3]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find when the roller coaster reaches the ground, find when d=0.

0=144-16t^2

To solve divide each term by 16 and factor:

(0)/(16)=(144)/(16) -(-16t^2)/(16)  \n0= 9 - t^2\n0=(3-t)(3+t)

Solve for t by setting each factor to 0.

t-3=0 so t=3

t+3=0 so t=-3

This means the car is in the air from 0 to 3 second.


Answer 2
Answer:

The time interval will be 0<t<3  or (0, 3)

What is interval?

A interval is a set of real numbers that contains all real numbers lying between any two numbers of the set.

Given:

d = 144 – 16t²

Now,

d>0

144 – 16t²>0

144>16t²

144/16>t²

9>t²

t<±3

Since, timecan't be negative.

So, t<3

Hence, the interval for which Greg’s car moving in the air is,  0<t<3  or (0, 3).

Solve the simultaneous equation, 5x=2y+1 2x-3y+4+0

Answers

Hello,

I suppose the 2th equation is 2x-3y+4=0

5x-2y=1 ........|*2        | *3
2x-3y=-4....... |*(-5)    | *-2
==> -4y+15y=2+20==>11y=22==>y=2
and 15x-4x=3+8 ==>11x=11 ==>x=1
Proof:

5*1=? 2*2+1 yes
2*1-3*2+4=? 0 yes (linear combinaison method)

V=(1/3)hpir^2
d/2=r
2.75/2=1.375
to make volume 4 times more
multiply height by 4 or multiply radius by 2
example
find current cup volume
V=(1/3)2.75pi1.375^2=2.2057291666666pi

if we times height by 4
3.5*4=14
V=(1/3)14pi1.375^2=8.822916666666666666pi

if we times radius by 2
1.375*2=5.5
V=(1/3)3.5pi5.5^2=8.822916666666666666pi


we can show it is 4 times by
