A gymnast dismounts the uneven parallel bars. Her height, h, depends on the time, t, that she is in the air h = −162 + 24t + 16.

How long will it take the gymnast to reach the ground?

That is when h=0
so assuming yo meant
h(t)=-16t²+24t+16
solve for t such that h(t)=0
because when height=0, the gymnast hits the ground

so
0=-16t²+24t+16
using math (imma complete the square
0=-16(t²-3/2t)+16
0=-16(t²-3/2t+9/16-9/16)+16
0=-16((t-3/4)²-9/16)+16
0=-16(t-3/4)²+9+16
0=-16(t-3/4)²+25
-25=-16(t-3/4)²
25/16=(t-3/4)²
sqrt both sides
+/-5/4=t-3/4
3/4+/-5/4=t
if we do plus (because minus would give us negative height)
8/4=t
2=t
it takes 2 seconds

What is the multiplicative rate of change of the exponential function represented in the table? 1.5 2.25 3.0 4.5
Sati [7]
Use the geometric sequence formula to solve for rate:
an=a1r^(n-1)

6.75=4.5r^(2-1)
6.75=4.5r
6.75/4.5=r
r= 1.5
and if you want to make sure just multiply each number by 1.5 and see if it gets you the next number
4.5 4.5×1.5=6.75 (holds true)
6.75 6.75×1.5=10.125 (holds true)
10.125 10.125×1.5=15.1875 (holds true)
15.1875

1.5 is the multiplicatice rate hope that helps :)

Elizabeth lives in San Francisco and works in Mountain View. In the morning, she has 333 transportation options (take a bus, a c
matrenka [14]
All transportation (bus, cab, train) are all similarly likely to be selected, and 1 of them must be selected at morning and evening, so we get: P (bus) = P (cab) = P (train) = 1/3. We also have P(no cab in evening) = P(no cab at morning) = 2/3 
Now, P(using cab exactly once) = P(cab at morning and no cab in the evening) + P(no cab at morning and cab in the evening)
= P(cab, no cab) + P(no cab, cab) 
= 1/3 * 2/3 + 2/3 * 1/3 
= 2/9 + 2/9 
= 4/9 
Probability that Elizabeth uses a cab only once is 4/9.

in the figure p is the incenter of isosceles rst what type of triangle is rpt? Thank you in advance .
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

\Delta \text{RPT is an isosceles triangle}

Step-by-step explanation:

As in the triangle RST,

RS=ST\ \ \ \Rightarrow m\angle SRT=m\angle STR

Because if in a triangle two angles equal one another, then the sides opposite the equal angles also equal one another.

Incenter is obtained by the Intersection of a triangle's three angle bisectors and it is equidistant from the three sides of the triangle.

So, RP and TP are the angle bisectors of ∠R and ∠T respectively.

\Rightarrow \dfrac{m\angle SRT}{2}=\dfrac{m\angle STR}{2}

\Rightarrow m\angle PRT=m\angle PTR

\Rightarrow PR=PT

\Rightarrow \Delta \text{RPT is an isosceles triangle}
