The function f(t) = −5t 2 + 20t + 60 models the approximate height of an objectt seconds after it is launched. How many seconds does it take the object to hit the
ground?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

6 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a function formula f(t)=-5t^2+20t+60 that models the approximate height of an object  t seconds after it is launched.

To find the number of seconds it will take the object to hit the ground, we need to find the zeros of our given function.

-5t^2+20t+60=0

Upon dividing our equation by -5 we will get,

t^2-4t-12=0

We will factor our given equation by splitting the middle term as:

t^2-6t+2t-12=0

t(t-6)+2(t-6)=0

(t-6)(t+2)=0

(t-6)=0\text{ or }(t+2)=0

t=6\text{ or }t=-2

Since time cannot be negative, therefore, it will take the object 6 seconds to hit the ground.

Answer 2
Answer: f(t) = -5t^2 + 20t + 60
-5(t^2 - 4t - 12)
-5(t + 2) (t - 6)
t = -2 or t = 6

6 seconds

Answer:

The total number of solutions is one

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

f(x)=-(11)/(3)x+ (11)/(3)

g(x)=x^(3)+2x^(2)-x-2

To solve the system of equations equate f(x) and g(x)

f(x)=g(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Find points from graph.

Point A (-4, 2)

Point B (8, 6)

Step 2: Find distance d

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the distance formula to find distance d.

  1. Substitute [DF]:                    d = √((8+4)^2+(6-2)^2)
  2. Add/Subtract:                       d = √((12)^2+(4)^2)
  3. Exponents:                           d = √(144+16)
  4. Add:                                      d = √(160)
  5. Simplify:                                d = 4√(10)
  6. Evaluate:                              d = 12.6491
  7. Round:                                 d \approx 12.6

Evaluate the limit as x approaches 0 of (1 - x^(sin(x)))/(x*log(x))aka: (1-x^(sin(x)))/(x*log(x))

sin~ x \approx x ~ ~\sf{as}~~ x \rightarrow 0

We can replace sin x with x anywhere in the limit as long as x approaches 0.

Also,

\large  \lim_( x \to 0  ) ~  x^x = 1

I will make the assumption that log(x)=ln(x).

The limit result can be proven if the base of 
log(x) is 10. 

\large \lim_(x \to 0^(+)) (1- x^(\sin x) )/(x  \log x )  \n~\n  \large = \lim_(x \to 0^(+)) (1- x^(\sin x) )/( \log( x^x)  )   \n~\n  \large = \lim_(x \to 0^(+)) (1- x^(x) )/( \log( x^x)  )  ~~ \normalsize{\text{ substituting x for sin x } } \n~\n   \large  = (\lim_(x \to 0^(+)) (1) - \lim_(x \to 0^(+)) \left( x^(x)\right) )/( \log(  \lim_(x \to 0^(+))x^x)  ) = (1-1)/(\log(1))   = (0)/(0)

We get the indeterminate form 0/0, so we have to use Lhopitals rule 

\large \lim_(x \to 0^(+)) (1- x^(x) )/( \log( x^x)  ) =_(LH) \lim_(x \to 0^(+)) (0 -x^x( 1 + \log (x)) )/(1 + \log (x)  )   \n = \large \lim_(x \to 0^(+)) (-x^x) = \large - \lim_(x \to 0^(+)) (x^x) = -1

Therefore,

\large \lim_(x \to 0^(+)) (1- x^(\sin x) )/(x  \log x )  =\boxed{ -1}
