An acorn falls from the branch of a tree to the ground 25 feet below. The distance, S, that the acorn is from the ground as it f

alls is represented by the equation S(t) = –16t2 + 25, where t is the number of seconds. For which interval of time is the acorn moving through the air?

The end of its travel is when S(t)=0 or when it has hit the ground...

-16t^2+25=0  divide equation by -1

16t^2-25, this is a difference of squares which always factors:

(a^2+b^2)=(a+b)(a-b), in this case:

(4t+5)(4t-5)=0, since t>0

t=5/4=1.25, and since it started falling at t=0, its time moving in the air is:

1.25-0=1.25 seconds.

The constraints for the problem is the number of tomatoes and cups of oil on hand. 

There are only 45 tomatoes and 10 cups of oil on hand to make both the Tuscan sauce and Marinara sauce. 

These are identified as constraints because they limit the number of Tuscan sauce and Marinara sauce that Tiffany can make.

Simplify 4a³b² × 3a⁶b⁵​
Rasek [7]

Answer:

12a^9b^7

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying variables of the same base, will require you to add the exponents.

4a^3b^2 * 3a^6b^5

         4*3 =  12

a^3 * a^6 =   a^9

b^2 * b^5 =   b^7

12a^9b^7

Rectangle ABCD with coordinates A(1,1), B(4,1), C(4,2) and D(1,2) dilates with respect to the origin to give rectangle A’B’C’D’.
Delvig [45]

Answer: Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to find the distance AB with the formula for calculate the distance between two points:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Then, substituting the coordinates of the points A(1,1) and B(4,1), you get:

AB=\sqrt{(4-1)^2+(1-1)^2}=3

You know that A'B'=6, then the scale factor of dilation can be calculated with:

k=\frac{A'B'}{AB}

Substituting values, you get:

k=\frac{6}{3}\\\\k=2

This matches with the option C.
