⇒ 4.5 seconds

What is Quadratic equation?

An algebraic equation with the second degree of the variable is called an Quadratic equation.

We have to given that;

The height of a ball in feet is modeled by the equation,

y = - 16x² + 72x

where, x is the time in seconds after the ball is hit.

Hence, For time of the ball in the air, we can plug y = 0 in above equation.

y = - 16x² + 72x

0 = - 16x² + 72x

Solve for x;

- 16x² + 72x = 0

- 4x (4x - 18) = 0

This gives,

4x = 18

x = 18/4

x = 4.5 seconds

Thus, The value of time of the ball in the air is,

⇒ 4.5 seconds

Answer 2
Answer: The answer to this question is 4.5 seconds. You can see from the graph that the ball is above the ground in the interval 0 < t < 4.5. It is at t = 4.5 where the graph touches the t-axis. When it touches the t-axis, then the height is 0 and therefore on the ground.

Answers

When you solve an equation, the most important thin got remember is isolate the variable. So try to get t by itself using order of operations backwards.

10t = 6t + 24              Subtract 6t from both sides to get the t's on one side.

4t = 24                       Divide both sides by 4 to get t completely alone.

t = 6

9/10 - 4/10 is just 9-4=6 and put that over 10 so you get 6/10.  If you have to reduce just do it by 2 on both.  6/2= 3 and 10/2=5 so 2/5. 

Suppose y is a positive integer.If x-(-y)=z will z be greater than x ?

Answers

Integers are all numbers without decimal point.

z will always be greater than x

Given that:

x - (-y)=z

Open the bracket

x + y=z

Rewrite as:

z =x + y

From the question, we understand that y is positive.

This means that, irrespective of whether x is positive or negative; the value of z will always be greater than x.

Answer:

Yes, z will be greater than x.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is x- (-y)=z \ for \ y \ is \ a \ positive \ integer.

now let y = 2 and x = 1

Then, x- (-y)=z \n1+2 = 3 \n\n

where z> x i.e. 3 > 1

on simplifying the given  expression in terms of y

y=z-x

now suppose if x = 7 and z=3 then,

y = (z-x) = (3-7) = (-4)

which gives value of y in terms of negative integer which is not possible according to the given statement since y is a positive integer. Therefore, if y is a positive integer then  z will be greater than x.

The composite figures below are made of right prisms.Note: figures not drawn to scale.

Place the figures in order from least surface area to greatest surface area.

Answers

Answer:

Figure 1's surface area: 550 feet^2

Figure 2's surface area: 530 feet^2

Figure 3's surface area: 790 feet^2

So, the order of the figures' surface areas is: Figure 2 < Figure 1 < Figure 3.

 

Step-by-step explanation:

Bearing in mind that the surface area of a 3D object is the total area of its surface (that is the sum of the areas of its faces), we can count the number of distinct shapes in each figure, calculate their areas and add them up. Be careful not to add the faces that are "inside".

Figure 1

Its surface area consists of 13 squares of 5x5feet^2and 3 rectangles of 15x5feet^2. So, its surface area is (13x25 + 3x75)feet^2 = 550feet^2

Figure 2

Its surface area consists of 6 squares of 5x5feet^2,  3 rectangles of 17x5feet^2, 1 rectangle of 13x5feet^2 and 2 triangles of base 12 feet and height 5 feet. So, its surface area is (17x5x3+6x5x5+13x5+12x5x2:2)feet^2 = 530feet^2

Figure 3

Its surface area consists of 2 rectangles of 12.5x5feet^2, 1 rectangle of 11x5feet^2, 2 triangles of base 12 feet and height 5 feet, 1 rectangle of 11x13feet^2, 2 rectangles of 12.5x11feet^2 and 1 rectangle of 12x11feet^2.

So, its surface area is (2x12.5x5+11x5+2x12x5:2+11x13+2x12.5x11+12x11)feet^2 = 790feet^2

Answer:

Least surface area to greatest surface area:

Blue - Red - Green

Step-by-step explanation:

All the surfaces of the shapes are rectangles, then their surface is computed as:

Surface = Length*Width

Blue figure

Area of the top:

5*5 + 5*5 + 5*5 + 5*5 + 5*5 = 125 ft^2

Area of the sides:

2*(5*10) = 100 ft^2

Area of the bottom:

10*5 = 50 ft^2

Area of the front and the back

2*(5*5 + 15*5) = 200 ft^2

Total: 125 + 100 + 50 + 200 = 475 ft^2

Red figure

Area of the top:

5*5 + 13*5 = 90 ft^2

Area of the left side:

5*10 = 50 ft^2

Area of the right side:

5*5 = 25 ft^2

Area of the bottom:

17*5 = 85 ft^2  

Area of the front and the back:

2*(17*5 + 12*5/2 + 5*5) = 280 ft^2

Total: 90 + 50 + 25 + 85 + 280 = 530 ft^2

Green figure

Area of the top:

12.5*11 + 13*11 = 280.5 ft^2

Area of the left side:

11*5 = 55 ft^2

Area of the bottom:

(12.5+12)*11 = 269.5 ft^2

Area of the front and the back:

2*(12.5*5 + 12*5/2) = 185 ft^2

Total: 280.5 + 55 + 269.5 + 185 =  790 ft^2
