H represents the height of the ball at a given time, symbolised as t.
Thus, we just need to find when h = 0 so that we find when it hits the ground.

0 = -4.9t² + 19.6t + 58.8
0 = 4.9t² - 19.6t - 58.8
0 = 49t² - 196t - 588
0 = t² - 4t - 12
0 = (t - 6)(t + 2)

So, t = 6 or -2, but t ≠ -2, since time cannot be negative in this instance.

Hence, at 6 seconds, the ball will strike the ground.

Each inch on a map of Roswell, New Mexico represents $0.51\text{ mile}$. If two hills in Roswell are $7$ inches apart on the map
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

3.57

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale factor on a map is equal to

\frac{1}{0.51}\frac{inch}{miles}

so

by proportion

Find how many miles are in the real life 7 inches apart on the map

\frac{1}{0.51}\frac{inch}{miles}=\frac{7}{x}\frac{inches}{miles}\\ \\x=0.51*7\\ \\x=3.57 \ miles

What is the solution to the linear equation? 2.8y + 6 + 0.2y = 5y – 14 y = –10 y = –1 y = 1 y = 10
svp [43]

2.8y + 6 + 0.2y = 5y – 14

Simplify the left side:

3y +6 = 5y-14

Subtract 3y from both sides:

6 = 2y -14

Add 14 to each side:

2y =20

Divide both sides by 2:

y = 20 / 2

y = 10
