A piece of rope falls out of a hot air balloon from a height of 5,184 ft. If the
equation for height as a function of time
is h(t) = -16t2 - initial height where t is
time in seconds and h(t) is height in feet,
how many seconds will it take for the
piece of rope to hit the ground?

Explanation:

The equation should be h(t) = -16t^2 + (initial height). If you subtract off the initial height, then you'll have a negative starting height, which is not correct. Try plugging t = 0 into h(t) = -16t^2 - (initial height) and you'll see what I mean.

The initial height is 5184. We want to find the t value when h(t) = 0. So we want to find the time value when the height is 0.

h(t) = -16t^2 + (initial height)

h(t) = -16t^2 + 5184

0 = -16t^2 + 5184

16t^2 = 5184

t^2 = 5184/16

t^2 = 324

t = sqrt(324)

t = 18

It takes 18 seconds for the rope to hit the ground.

use this formula:

p(a\b) = p(a and b)/p(b).

take it from here.

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|
