On a vacation in Puerto Rico rose jumped off a cliff into a river in El Yunque go forest reserve her height as a function of tim

e could be modeled by the function h(t) = -16tequals -16t ^2 + 16t + 480, where T is the time after jumping in seconds and H is the height in feet how many seconds did it take Rose to hit the water

Answer: t = 6 s

Step-by-step explanation:

When Rose hit the water, the height of the jump is 0, so: h(t) = 0.

Resolving it, we have:

-16t² + 16t + 480 = 0

To simplify the second degree equation, divided it by 16:

-t² + t + 30 = 0

Now, solve the equation using Bhaskara:

Δ = 1² - 4. (-1) . 30

Δ = 1 + 120

Δ = 121

t = \frac{-1+\sqrt{121} }{-2}

t₁ = \frac{-1 + 11}{-2} = - 5

t₂ = \frac{-11-11}{-2} = 6

Since time can be negative, it took t = 6s for Rose to hit the water.

Please help I will give brainliest to whoever answers this question
pantera1 [17]

Hi!

To solve this, we must make an equation in y = mx + b form, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Since we are looking at a graph with points, it saves us a TON of work, and all we have to do is simply look at the graph. We only need to find m and b, that's it!

M is the slope, and the slope can be represented by the change between points on a line, also known as <em>rise/run. </em>

If we start at point (-4, -1), and go to point (-2, 0), we can see that it goes up 1 and right 2, which would be represented as 1/2.

B is the y-intercept, and that is simply the point that is on the y-axis, which is the point (0, 1), so our number would be 1.

Therefore, plugging these numbers into the equation, our equation is y = <em>1/2</em>x + <em>1</em>

<em></em>

Hope this helps! :D

if a number is a natural number, then it is also a whole number? what is the Inverse, the Converse, the Contrapositive, and the
aev [14]
     I believe you're learning geometry. Anyways, here are examples of natural numbers: 1, 2, 3... Meanwhile, here are examples of whole numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3... Natural numbers are all the positive whole numbers. Whole numbers are quantities that are both positive and neutral, and don't include any fractions or decimals.

In a list of 100 numbers , the fraction of numbers greater than 15 is (19/25) and the fraction of numbers less than 15 is (7/50)
Bingel [31]
19/25 * 100 = 1900/25 = 76 ....numbers greater then 15
7/50 * 100 = 700/50 = 14....numbers less then 15

100 - (76 + 14) = 100 - 90 = 10 <== numbers equal to 15
