Based on the equation of the function of the height of the building, it takes the man 44.7 seconds to fall from the top

<h3>How to determine how long it takes the math man to fall?</h3>

The function of the height where the man falls is a quadratic function, and the equation of the function is given as:

d = t^2 * 0.25

The height of the building is 500

This means that the value of d is 500.

So, we have;

d = 500

Substitute 500 for d in the equation d = t^2 * 0.25

500 = t^2 * 0.25

Divide both sides of the above equation by 0.25

500/0.25 = t^2 * 0.25/0.25

Evaluate the quotient in the above equation

t^2 = 2000

Take the square root of both sides in the above equation

√t^2 = √2000

Evaluate the exponent

t = 44.7

Hence, it takes the man 44.7 seconds to fall

Which of the following is not one of the 8th roots of unity?

Anika [276]

Answer:

1+i

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the 8th roots of unity, you have to find the trigonometric form of unity.

1. Since $z=1=1+0\cdot i,$ then

$Rez=1,\\ \\Im z=0$

and

$|z|=\sqrt{1^2+0^2}=1,\\ \\\\\cos\varphi =\dfrac{Rez}{|z|}=\dfrac{1}{1}=1,\\ \\\sin\varphi =\dfrac{Imz}{|z|}=\dfrac{0}{1}=0.$

This gives you $\varphi=0.$

Thus,

$z=1\cdot(\cos 0+i\sin 0).$

2. The 8th roots can be calculated using following formula:

$\sqrt[8]{z}=\{\sqrt[8]{|z|} (\cos\dfrac{\varphi+2\pi k}{8}+i\sin \dfrac{\varphi+2\pi k}{8}), k=0,\ 1,\dots,7\}.$

Now

at k=0, $z_0=\sqrt[8]{1} (\cos\dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 0}{8}+i\sin \dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 0}{8})=1\cdot (1+0\cdot i)=1;$

at k=1, $z_1=\sqrt[8]{1} (\cos\dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 1}{8}+i\sin \dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 1}{8})=1\cdot (\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}+i\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2})=\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}+i\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2};$

at k=2, $z_2=\sqrt[8]{1} (\cos\dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 2}{8}+i\sin \dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 2}{8})=1\cdot (0+1\cdot i)=i;$

at k=3, $z_3=\sqrt[8]{1} (\cos\dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 3}{8}+i\sin \dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 3}{8})=1\cdot (-\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}+i\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2})=-\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}+i\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2};$

at k=4, $z_4=\sqrt[8]{1} (\cos\dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 4}{8}+i\sin \dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 4}{8})=1\cdot (-1+0\cdot i)=-1;$

at k=5, $z_5=\sqrt[8]{1} (\cos\dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 5}{8}+i\sin \dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 5}{8})=1\cdot (-\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}-i\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2})=-\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}-i\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2};$

at k=6, $z_6=\sqrt[8]{1} (\cos\dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 6}{8}+i\sin \dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 6}{8})=1\cdot (0-1\cdot i)=-i;$

at k=7, $z_7=\sqrt[8]{1} (\cos\dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 7}{8}+i\sin \dfrac{0+2\pi \cdot 7}{8})=1\cdot (\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}-i\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2})=\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}-i\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2};$

The 8th roots are

$\{1,\ \dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}+i\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2},\ i, -\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}+i\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2},\ -1, -\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}-i\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2},\ -i,\ \dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}-i\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\}.$

Option C is icncorrect.

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

The shortest distance is 2.2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The shortest distance you must travel to reach the river is the perpendicular distance to the river

step 1

Find the slope of the line perpendicular to the river

we have

$y=3x+2$

The slope of the river is m=3

Remember that if two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is -1)

therefore

The slope of the line perpendicular to the river is

$m=-1/3$

step 2

Find the equation of the line into point slope form

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

we have

$m=-1/3$

$point(2,1)$

substitute

$y-1=-(1/3)(x-2)$

step 3

Find the intersection point of the river and the line perpendicular to the river

we have

$y=3x+2$ ------> equation A

$y-1=-(1/3)(x-2)$ -----> equation B

Solve the system by graphing

The intersection point is (-0.1,1,7)

see the attached figure

step 3

Find the distance between the points (2,1) and (-0,1,1.7)

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

substitute

$d=\sqrt{(1.7-1)^{2}+(-0.1-2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(0.7)^{2}+(-2.1)^{2}}$

$d=2.2\ miles$
