Answer:
4 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we want to know the time when the height is 0, we can rewrite the problem as [tex]0=-2t^2+2t+24[/tex]. From there, we can plug it into the quadratic formula, which gives us [tex]\frac{-2-\sqrt{4-4(-2)(24)} }{2(-2)}[/tex](Since it's a real-world problem and we have a negative denominator, we won't be using the positive square root). We simplify this to get [tex]\frac{-2-\sqrt{196} }{-4}[/tex], then [tex]\frac{-2-14}{-4}[/tex]. Finally, we can calculate this to be 4 seconds.

GOLD IN THE SKY
By Alan E. Nourse
Chapter 1. Trouble Times Two
The sun was glowing dull red as it slipped down behind the curving horizon of Mars, but Gregory Hunter was not able to see it.
There was no viewscreen in the ship's cabin; it was too tiny for that. Greg twisted around in the cockpit that had been built just big enough to hold him, and shifted his long legs against the brace-webbing, trying to get them comfortable.
He knew he was afraid ... but nobody else knew that, not even the captain waiting at the control board on the satellite, and in spite of the fear Greg Hunter would not have traded places at this moment with anyone else in the universe.
He had worked too hard and waited too long for this moment.
He heard the count-down monitor clicking in his ears, and his hands clenched into fists. How far from Mars would he be 10 minutes from now? He didn't know. Farther than any man had ever traveled before in the space of 10 minutes, he knew, and faster. How far and how fast would depend on him alone.
"All set, Greg?" It was the captain's voice in the earphones.
"All set, Captain."
"You understand the program?"
Greg nodded. "24 hours out, 24 hours back, 90 degrees to the ecliptic1, and all the acceleration2 I can stand both ways."
Greg grinned to himself. He thought of the months of conditioning he had gone through to prepare for this run ... the hours in the centrifuge to build up his tolerance to acceleration, the careful diet, the rigorous hours of physical conditioning. It was only one experiment, one tiny step in the work that could someday give men the stars, but to Gregory Hunter at this moment it was everything.
"Good luck, then." The captain cut off, and the blastoff buzzer sounded.
He was off. His heart hammered in his throat, and his eyes ached fiercely, but he paid no attention. His finger crept to the air-speed indicator, then to the cut-off switch. When the pressure became too great, when he began to black out, he would press it.
But not yet. It was speed they wanted; they had to know how much acceleration a man could take for how long and still survive, and now it was up to him to show them.
Fleetingly, he thought of Tom ... poor old stick-in-the-mud Tom, working away in his grubby little Mars-bound laboratory, watching bacteria grow. Tom could never have qualified for a job like this. Tom couldn't even go into free-fall for 10 minutes without getting sick all over the place. Greg felt a surge of pity for his brother, and then a twinge of malicious anticipation. Wait until Tom heard the reports on this run! It was all right to spend your time poking around with bottles and test tubes if you couldn't do anything else, but it took something special to pilot an XP ship for Project Star-Jump. And after this run was over, even Tom would have to admit it....
There was a lurch, and quite suddenly the enormous pressure was gone.
Something was wrong. He hadn't pushed the cut-off button, yet the ship's engines were suddenly silent. He jabbed at the power switch. Nothing happened. Then the side-jets sputted, and he was slammed sideways into the cot.
He snapped on the radio speaker. "Control ... can you hear me? Something's gone wrong out here...."

Answer:
2. ASA can be used with the definition of an isosceles triangle
3. x = 5 5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
2.Using the given information, the definition of an isosceles triangle tells us, ...
∠A = ∠C and ∠A = ∠ABM and ∠C = ∠CBN
By substitution, ∠ABM = ∠CBN. This lets us declare ΔAMB ≅ ΔCNB by ASA, where the sides between the angles are AB and CB.

3.If the angles of interest are the same, then the triangles are similar. That means corresponding sides have the same ratio:
AB/AD = CB/CE

One leg of an isosceles right triangle measures 5 inches. Rounded to the nearest tenth, what is the approximate length of the hypotenuse?
2.5 inches
5.0 inches
7.1 inches
9.8 inches
PLZ ANSWER ASAP
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
This means that there is another leg of an isosceles triangle that is also 5 inches.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a = 5
b = 5
c = ?
c^2 = 5^2 + 5^2 Combine
c^2 = 25 + 25
c^2 = 50 Take the square root of both sides.
sqrt(c^2) = sqrt(50^2)
c = sqrt(5 * 5 * 2) Take out 1 of two factors under the root sign.
c = 5 * sqrt(2) The 2 is left over because there is only 1 of them
sqrt(2) = 1.4142
c = 5 * 1.4142
c = 7.07 = 7.1
use the result (a+b)²=a²+2ab+b² to find the value of 49²+98+1
pls help me
I will give brainliest
Answer:
2500
Step-by-step explanation:
a² + 2ab + b²
49² + 98 + 1
Comparing terms
a²= 49²
a= 49
2ab = 98
2× 49 × b = 98
98b = 98
b= 98/98
b = 1
or
b²= 1
b=√1
b= 1
a=49 and b= 1
Hence (a+b)²= (49+1)²
50²= 2500

Which description best describes the association between variables x and y?
picture is below
Answer:
The dots have a weak positive correlation.
Step-by-step explanation:
The values on the graph, or dots, are generally going upwards, meaning they are positive. If they were generally going downwards, or from the top left to bottom right, they would be negative.
The values are not tightly packed together. If they were, they would have a strong positive correlation. Instead, they are loosely around each other. But because they are not completely random all over the graph, the correlation is weak.
Hence, the values on the graph have a weak and positive correlation.
Fill in the missing values.

x : y = 1 : 5. which is the correct equation?
Th e correct equation will be y = 5x
How to express ratios and proportionsRatios is a way dividing two integers. For instance, the ratio of a to b is written as a:b.
Given the ratios expressed as x:y = 1:5
Since ratio means division hence;
x:y = 1:5
x/y = 1/5
Cross multiply
1 * y = 5 * x
y = 5x
Hence the correct equation will be y = 5x

Based on the total of intervals vs the number of intervals Amy attended her CA percentage is 75%
What is the CA percentage?The CA percentage measures the commitment of an employee to be logged in during the intervals that were assigned to him/her to work.
In this way, the CA percentage is equal to 100% if the employee worked as scheduled. Moreover, this percentage can be affected by factors such as:

factorize completly Mn + np + or + rt
Answer:
n (m + p) + r (o + t)
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to split the expression in half.
First, focus on mn + np, the common factor would be n.
So the first part of the answer would be mn ÷ n and np ÷ n.
Leading to it being n(m + p).
Then you focus on the second half or + rt.
You find the common factor, which is r.
You divide both sides by r.
Hence why you get r(o + t).
Lastly, you put them together, n(m + p) + r(o + t).
Hope this helps :)
David's Coffee Shop makes a blend that is a mixture of two types of coffee. Type A coffee costs David $4.45 per pound, and type B coffee costs $5.85 per pound. This month, David made 123 pounds of the blend, for a total cost of $643.95. How many pounds of type B coffee did he use?
Step-by-step explanation:
x = pounds A
y = pounds B
x + y = 123
4.45x + 5.85y = $643.95
from the first equation we get
x = 123 - y
and we use that in the second equation :
4.45×(123 - y) + 5.85y = 643.95
547.35 - 4.45y + 5.85y = 643.95
1.4y = 96.6
y = 69
x = 123 - y = 123 - 69 = 54
so, he used 69 pounds of B coffee.
