Answer:
10.36
Step-by-step explanation:
So your solution would be:
Just try to remember PEMDAS.
Parenthesis, Exponent, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.
This is the order we follow when going about expressions with many operations.
Let's start with the parenthesis part. Notice that there is an exponent beside the parenthesis enclosing the fraction. Here we use the quotient to a power rule. We distribute the exponent to the numerator and the denominator.
Now that we got the parenthesis and exponent out of the way, let's move on to the next. Multiplication/Division. Whichever comes first, you do it first.
We have a fraction so we do that first. Then we do the multiplication after.
Next we do the addition/subtraction. Again, whichever comes first.

Answer:
- 13 ft
- (a) 1 second; (b) t = 0, t = 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>1. </h3>Let w represent the length of the wire. Then the height of attachment is (w-1). The Pythagorean theorem tells us a relevant relation is ...
5² +(w -1)² = w²
w² -2w +26 = w² . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses, collect terms
26 = 2w . . . . . . . . . . . . add 2w
13 = w . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
The length of the wire is 13 feet.

<h3>2. </h3>(a) When h = 0, the equation is ...
0 = -16t^2 +8t +8
Dividing by -8 puts this into standard form:
2t^2 -t -1 = 0
Factoring, we get ...
(2t +1)(t -1) = 0
The positive value of t that makes a factor zero is t = 1.
It will take 1 second for the gymnast to reach the ground.
__
(b) When h = 8, the equation is ...
8 = -16t^2 +8t +8
Subtract 8 and divide by 8 to get ...
0 = -2t^2 +t
0 = t(1 -2t) . . . . factor out t
Values of t that make the factors zero are ...
t = 0
t = 1/2
The gymnast will be 8 feet above the ground at the start of the dismount, and 1/2 second later.
