3. A soccer player heads a ball from a height of 6 feet with an initial vertical velocity of 20 feet per second. The height h in feet of the ball is given by h= –16t + 20t +6,
where t is the time elapsed in seconds. How long will it take the ball to hit the
ground if no other players touch it? State the method you used to solve this
quadratic equation and why you chose that method.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Part A

1.5 seconds

Part B

By substitution and factorization because h = 0 at ground level

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

The height from which the soccer player heads the ball, h = 6 feet

The initial velocity of the ball, v = 20 ft./s

The height of the ball in feet, h = -16·t² + 20·t + 6

From the given equation of the ball, we have;

At the initial height, t = 0, from the given equation, h = 6

At the  ground level,  the height, h = 0, therefore, we get;

0 = -16·t² + 20·t + 6

Factorizing using a graphing calculator gives;

0 = 2 × (-8·t² + 10·t + 3) = -2 × (8·t² - 10·t - 3) = -2 × (2·t -3)·(4·t + 1)

∴ (2·t -3)·(4·t + 1) = 0

t = 1.5 or t = -1/4 = -0.25

Therefore;

The time it takes the ball to hit the ground, t = 1.5 seconds.

Part B

The method used in solving the given quadratic equation is by plugging in the value of 'h' as h = 0 in the given equation and factorizing the result because at ground level, the height, h = 0.

A textbook store sold a combined total of 411 psychology and history textbooks in a week. The number of history textbooks sold was 69 less than the number of
psychology textbooks sold. How many textbooks of each type were sold?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

h and p are the number of history and psych textbooks, respectively.

store sold a total of 411 textbooks in a week.

h + p = 411

The number of history textbooks sold was 69 less than the number of psychology textbooks sold.

h = p - 69

Substitution

(p-69) + p = 411

2p = 411+69

p = 240

h = p-69 = 171

A boat traveled 448 miles downstream and back. The trip downstream took 14 hours. The trip back took 16 hours. B) boat: 30 mph, current: 2 mph.

How to find the speed of an object?

If the object is going linearly, and at a constant speed, then the speed of that object is given by the distance it traveled to the time it took to travel that distance.

If the object traveled D distance in T units time, then that object's speed is

[tex]Speed = S = \dfrac{\: Distance \: traveled}{\: Time \: taken} = \dfrac{D}{T} \: \rm unit \: length/unit \: time[/tex]

A boat traveled 448 miles downstream and back.

The trip downstream took 14 hours. The trip back took 16 hours.

[tex]S = \dfrac{D}{T} \: \rm unit \: length/unit \: time[/tex]

Speed of downstream

448/ 14= 32

Speed of back stream

448 / 16= 28

B = Speed of boat in the water

Y = Speed of current

The system of equation

B + y = 32

B - y = 28

32 + 28 =60

60 / 2 = 30

So,

32 - 30 =2

B = 30  

Y = 2

Will mark brainliest please help ASAP Complete the square to find the vertex of this parabola x^2+14x-y-14=0

Answers

Answer:

the vertex is (-7, -63)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 14x - y - 14 = 0

x^2 + 14x = y + 14 (to isolate the x)

x^2 + 14x + 49 = y + 14 + 49

(x+7)^2 = y + 63

now we convert to vertex form, which is y = a(x – h)2 + k :

(x+7)^2 = y + 63

y = (x+7)^2 - 63

The vertex in vertex form is shown as (h, k) from y = a(x – h)2 + k, so in this case, h = -7 and k = -63. H is the x-coordinate as shown while k is the y-coordinate. Thus, the vertex is (-7, -63)

a cylindrical jar of jam has a diameter of 6cm and a height of 8 cm. if the jar is 70% full of jam how many cubic centimeters of jam are in the jar? Please answer correctly

Answers

Answer: 158.26cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we.need to calculate the volume of the cylinder and this will be:

Volume = πr²h

Volume = 3.14 × 3² × 8

Volume = 3.14 × 9 × 8

Volume = 226.08cm³

Since the jar is 70% full, the volume will be:

= 70% × 226.08cm³

= 0.7 × 226.08cm³

= 158.26cm³

Pls solve I will give the barinliest answer plssss

Answers

well we know the line will be equal to 180 degrees so we will have an equation like this

x+100+3x=120

we subtract 100 from 180 to get 80.

180-100=80

however x cannot be 80 bc we still have the 3x.

when you do the math, you will see that 20 times 3 is 60.

20×3=60

going even further we see that 60 plus 20 is 80

60+20=80

so to check our work, lets solve this equation

20+100+3×20=180

20+100=120

3×20=60

120+60=180

so your answer is x=20

By definition of perimeter, the correct answer is option C. the perimeter of the square is 20 cm.

Definition of perimeter

The perimeter of a two-dimensional figure is the distance around the figure. That is, the perimeter of a flat geometric figure is called the length of its contour.

So, the perimeter is the measurement obtained as a result of the sum of the sides of a flat geometric figure. So to calculate the perimeter of a figure it is necessary to know two basic variables:

The number of sides of the figure.The length of each of those sides.

Perimeter of a square

A square is a flat geometric figure that has four equal sides, so the expression to calculate the perimeter of a square is:

Perimeter= 4× length of the sides

This case

In this case, a square has a side length of 5 cm. So, the perimeter of the square is calculated as:

Perimeter= 4× 5 cm

Solving:

Perimeter= 20 cm

Finally, the correct answer is option C. the perimeter of the square is 20 cm.

which statement best compares the volumes of the two rectangular prisms

Answers

Answer:

The volume of prism A is the same as the volume of prism B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for prisms

Required

Compare the volume of both

First, we calculate the volume of both prisms.

Prism A is a rectangular prism.

So, its volume is:

[tex]V_A = Length * Base * Height[/tex]

Where

[tex]Length \to a[/tex]

[tex]Base \to b[/tex]

[tex]Height \to h[/tex]

So:

[tex]V_A = abh[/tex]

For Prism B, we have:

[tex]Volume = Base\ Area * Height[/tex]

Where

[tex]Base\ Area = Length * Base[/tex]

and

[tex]Length = a[/tex]

[tex]Base = b[/tex]

So:

[tex]Base\ Area = a * b[/tex]

[tex]Base\ Area = a b[/tex]

The volume is then calculated as:

[tex]Volume = Base\ Area * Height[/tex]

[tex]V_B = ab * Height[/tex]

Where

[tex]Height \to h[/tex]

So:

[tex]V_B = ab * h[/tex]

[tex]V_B = abh[/tex]

By comparison:

[tex]V_A = V_B = abh[/tex]

Exactly one element of Y is assigned to each element of X in a mathematical function from a set X to a set Y. Both the set X and the set Y are referred to as the function's domain and co-domain, respectively. The basic conception of functions was the relationship between fluctuating quantities and other variables.

h(x) = 20. 4ˣ    (0, 20)

here, g(x) passes through the point (0, 20)

thus, g(x) = 20. aˣ

when x > 0, f(x) < g(x) < h(x)

hence a < 4

so, 20. (2.5)ˣ - 10. 2ˣ > 0
