The quadratic function d = –2x^2 + 15 models a skateboarder’s distance, in feet, from the bottom of a hill x seconds after the skateboarder starts moving down the hill. After how many seconds is the skateboarder 8 ft from the bottom of the hill?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

After 1.87 seconds the skateboarder is 8 ft from the bottom of the hill.

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic function d = –2*x² + 15 models a skateboarder’s distance, in feet, from the bottom of a hill x seconds after the skateboarder starts moving down the hill.

You want to know after how many seconds the skater is 8 feet from the bottom of the hill. That is, with the distance being 8 feet, you want to calculate the time t. Replacing in the expression d by the value of 8 feet:

8=–2*x² + 15

Solving:

8-15 = -2*x²

-7= -2*x²

(-7)÷(-2)= x²

3.5= x²

√3.5=x

1.87= x

After 1.87 seconds the skateboarder is 8 ft from the bottom of the hill.

A. S=45,000+250C
B.S=45,000−250C
C. S=45,000C+250
D. S=45,000C−250

Answers

Since he has an annual salary, the salary stays the same, making it the y intercept.
As for 250, it goes to every car he sells, making it the slope
S = y + mc (y = y intercept, m = slope)
Plug in the values to see

Solution: A. 45,000 + 250C

Henry is painting a house. He placed a 24 foot ladder 15 feet away from the base of the house so that it leaned up against the house.

Enter the measure of the angle that is formed between the ladder and the ground, rounded to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer:

51.3 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Trig Ratio to solve for theta aka the angle formed between the ;adder and the ground.

So we have the hypotenuse = 24ft and the adjacent = 15ft so I am going to use the cos ratio.

cos ∅ = a/h

rearrange for theta

∅ = cos -1 ( a/h)

now sub in the information

∅ = 51.3178

now round to the nearest tenth

∅ = 51.3 degrees

write your therefore statement

therefore, the angle between the ladder and the ground is 51.3 degrees.

In an arithmetic sequence, the 10th term is 37, and the 21st term is 4. Find the common difference and the first term

Answers

Answer:

Common difference is 3. And the first term is 64.

Step-by-step explanation:

The differnce between 21 and 10 is 11. So there are 11 unknown numbers in between.  And the difference between 37 and 4 is 33. 33/11 is equal to 3. So the pattern is minus three. the first term is 9 terms before 37. 9 times 3 is 27. 37+27 is equal to 64. so the first term is 64

Mike measured the stage where his band was going to play to determine if it is a right triangle. Does the stage with side lengths of 36 feet, 48 feet, and 60 feet form a right triangle

Answers

Answer:

let

hypotenuse[h]=60ft

base[b]=36ft

perpendicular [p]=48ft

by using Pythagoras law

p²+b²=h²

48²+36²=60²

2896≠3600

since p²+b²≠ h²[so the stage is not in a right angled triangle]but it is scalene triangle
