Daniel dives into a swimming pool. The height of his head is represented by the function h(t) = -8t(squared) - 28t + 60, where t

is the time in seconds and h(t) is the height of his head, in inches. How many seconds will it take for Daniel's head to reach the surface of the pool?

When Daniel's head reaches the surface, h(t) = 0
Therefore:
-8t² - 28t + 60 = 0             To simplify, divide both sides by -4
2t² + 7t - 15 = 0               
Consider the trinomial ax² + bx + c
To factor by grouping, we must find two numbers that multiply to equal AC (-30) and add up to B (7)
Two numbers that satisfy this are 10 and -3:
2t² + 10t - 3t - 15 = 0        Rewrite the equation using 10t and -3t
2t (t + 5) -3 (t +5) = 0        Regroup, then rewrite
(2t -3) (t+5) = 0 

2t-3 = 0 
2t = 3
t = 3/2
OR
t + 5 = 0
t = -5

We know t cannot be a negative number, so the answer is:
t = 3/2, or 1 and a half seconds

If the leading coefficient of a quadratic function is negative then the graph of the function extends from?
coldgirl [10]
I wouldn't use the phrase "extends from."  If the leading coeff. is neg, then the graph opens downward.  Without more info we do not know the max of this fn.  If we did know it, we could state that the graph max is (value) and that the graph "extends downward from this value."

3. The cost of the city permits needed to build this building is 150,000 no matter how many floors with
natima [27]

Answer:

P(x) = 150000

Slope = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Cost = 150000

Solving (a): The cost function:

From the given parameter, it shows that the number of floor has no effect on the floors.

So, represent the floors with x.

The cost function is:

P(x) = 150000

Solving (b): The slope and its interpretation

A function is represented as:

f(x) = b + mx

Where:

m=slope

By comparing: f(x) = b + mx to P(x) = 150000

m = 0

So:

Slope = 0

<em>What it means is that, no matter the number of floors, the cost remains unchanged.</em>
