OpenStudy (allieeslabae):

There are 3 if you dont mind. Im stuck, I tried them all, I jsut dont get it.

OpenStudy (nethercreep333):

what grade is this

OpenStudy (nethercreep333):

ive been doing college work all day and then i tel the college student im in 7th grade

OpenStudy (nethercreep333):

OpenStudy (allieeslabae):

Can anyone else help?

OpenStudy (nethercreep333):

@the_ocean_girl

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

for the 1st question set s(t) = 50 so you have the equation \[50 = -16t^2 +70t + 3\] now rewrite the equation as \[16t^2 - 70t + 47 = 0\] solve for t using the general quadratic formula... hope that helps

OpenStudy (allieeslabae):

Yeah I got that far... I just tried plugging it in and it didnt come out right.

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

the 2nd question.... if you let the ratio be x:7x which is in the ratio 1:7 then the area is \[A = x \times 7x~~~or~~~A = 7x^2\] you know the area so \[2720 = 7x^2\] solve for x and only use the positive answer... so x would be the width, multiply it by 7 to get the length. hope that helps

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

last question find the factors of 24 that add to -10... both factors are negative

OpenStudy (allieeslabae):

Hey for the first one is this right? t≈3.5467852,0.8282148

OpenStudy (allieeslabae):

@campbell_st

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

that's what I got...

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

and remember there are 2 answers as the object is travelling in a parabolic arc \[\frac{70 \pm \sqrt{(-70)^2 - 4 \times 16 \times 47}}{2 \times 16}\]

OpenStudy (allieeslabae):

Okay for problem two Im stuck. @campbell_st

OpenStudy (allieeslabae):

Would I say 19.71 times 7??? Because I got x as 19.71

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

go back and read the post about it... its quite clear

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

ok... question 2 I mis-read... the raatio is 1.7 to 1 so let 1 side b3 a, the other side is 1.7a the area is A = 1.7a x a so \[A = 1.7x^2\] now solve

OpenStudy (allieeslabae):

Is it D?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

well solve the equation\[2720 = 1.7x^2\]

OpenStudy (allieeslabae):

Okay i got 40

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

so now multiply that by 1.7 to get the other measurement

OpenStudy (allieeslabae):

Yep It was D 40,68

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

correct

OpenStudy (allieeslabae):

Okay fro teh last one is it D? @campbell_st

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

the last question doesn't have answer choices... so tell me what you choice is, in numbers

OpenStudy (allieeslabae):

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

you're correct with d
