A rocket is launched from a tower. The height of the rocket, y in feet, is related to the time after launch, x in seconds, by the given equation. Using this equation, find the time that the rocket will hit the ground, to the nearest 100th of second.(Quadratic Word Problems (Profit/Gravity)
y=-16x^2+121x+83

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The rocket will hit the ground after about 8.20 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the rocket y, in feet, x seconds after launch is modeled by the equation:

[tex]y=-16x^2+121x+83[/tex]

We want to find the time at which the rocket will hit the ground.

If it hits the ground, the height of the rocket y will be 0. Thus:

[tex]0=-16x^2+121x+83[/tex]

We can solve for x. Factoring (if possible at all) or completing the square can be tedious, so we can use the quadratic formula:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

In this case, a = -16, b = 121, and c = 83. Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-(121)\pm\sqrt{(121)^2-4(-16)(83)}}{2(-16)}[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{-121\pm\sqrt{19953}}{-32}[/tex]

Divide everything by -1 and simplify the square root. The plus/minus will remain unchanged:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{121\pm3\sqrt{2217}}{32}[/tex]

Therefore, our two solutions are:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{121+3\sqrt{2217}}{32}\approx 8.20\text{ or } x=\frac{121-3\sqrt{2217}}{32}\approx -0.63[/tex]

Since time cannot be negative, we can ignore the second solution.

Therefore, the rocket will hit the ground after about 8.20 seconds.

Answer:

1st and 2nd options

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the method of completing the square to obtain standard form

(13)

Rearrange the given equation so x and y terms are together, that is

x² + 24x + y² + 30y + 353 = 0 ( subtract 353 from both sides )

x² + 24x + y² + 30y = - 353

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficients of the x/ y term)² to both sides

x² + 2(12)x + 144 + y² + 2(15)y + 225 = - 353 + 144 + 225

(x + 12)² + (y + 15)² = 16

(x + 12)² + (y + 15)² = 4² ← in standard form

with centre = (- 12, - 15 ) and radius = 4

---------------------------------------------------------------------

(14)

As in number 13

x² - 22x + y² + 16y = - 181

Complete the square

x² + 2(-11)x + 121 + y² + 2(8)y + 64 = - 181 + 121 + 64

(x - 11)² + (y + 8)² = 4

(x - 11)² + (y + 8)² = 2² ← in standard form

with centre = (11, - 8 ) and radius = 2

A fair coin is flipped twice. H is recorded for heads and T for tails after each flip. The notation for conditional probability is ​P(H on 2nd flip|H on 1st flip)​. Which notation is the probability of the two events being not independent?

Answers

Answer:

The Notation for each event Not been independent = P( HT ) or P( TH )

Step-by-step explanation:

when A fair coin flipped ; P( H ) = 0.5 and P( T ) = 0.5

Hence when it is flipped twice the possible outcome = 4

= HH , HT , TT, TH

Since Notation for conditional probability = P ( HH )  this shows that each flip is independent

The Notation for each event Not been independent = P( HT ) or P( TH )

Answer: P(H on 2nd flip|H on 1st flip)=P(H on 2nd flip)

Answers

Answer:

y = 3 sin 4x

Step-by-step explanation:

For y = a sin bx,

a is the amplitude which is the crest of the graph. In this case a = 3 from the given graph.

Now, b is associated with the period where; b = 2π/period

From the graph the period which is the time between where the graph crosses the x-axis = π/2

Thus; b = 2π/(π/2)

b = 4

Thus,equation is; y = 3 sin 4x

Answers

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Problem 1:

E is the centroid of the triangle.

Centroid theorem states that the centroid is ⅔ of the distance of each vertex to the midpoint of the side opposite each vertex.

This implies that:

AE = ⅔(AD)

AE = 21

Therefore:

21 = ⅔(AD)

3*21 = 2(AD)

(3*21)/2 = AD

31.5 = AD

AD = 31.5

Problem 2: Apply the centroid theorem. Thus:

DE = ⅓(AD)

DE = 12

Therefore,

12 = ⅓(AD)

12*3 = AD

36 = AD

AD = 36

DF = 75°FBE = 105°FC = 60°CBE = 45°DAC = 225°ABE = 135°AFE = 225°ABF = 120°

Step-by-step explanation:

AC and DE are diameters, so divide the circle into equal portions that have a total angle measure of 180°.

  angle ABD = 180° -angle DBF - angle FBC = 180° -75° -60°

  angle ABD = 45°

angle CBE is a vertical angle to angle ABD, so has the same measure, 45°.

angle ABE is supplementary to angle CBE, so has measure 180° -45° = 135°. Long arc AE is 360° less this value, so is 360° -135° = 225°. Vertical angle DBC has the same measure as angle ABE, so long arc DAE will also be 225°.

angles FBC and CDE add to make angle FBE, so that angle is ...

  angle FBE = 60° +45° = 105°

A rectangles is a quadrilateral that has equal or unequal  sides and all angles equal to 90 degrees. All rectangles are not squares.

Rhombus:

Answers

Answer:

Total cost= $100

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Each box has 10 brooms. Each broom is sold for $ 15

The charity earns $ 50 profit for each box of brooms.

First, we need to calculate the total revenue per box:

Total revenue per box= 10*15= $150

Now, the total cost:

Total cost= total revenue - total income

Total cost= 150 - 50

Total cost= $100
