Answer:

a) h(t) = -16t²+ 4t + 25

b) Therefore it would take her 1.25 seconds to land safely in the net.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to be used is given as

h(t) = –gt²+ vt + S(t)

where g = force of gravity and because our question is in feet's = 16

V= Initial velocity

h = height

S = distance

a) The quadratic function for the above question

Using the formula

v = Initial velocity in the question = 4ft/s

S(t) = 25ft in the air

Hence the Quadratic function is

h(t) = –gt²+ vt + S(t)

h(t) = -16t²+ 4t + 25

b) If the safety net is placed 5 feet above the ground, how long will it take her to land safely in the net?

We are to find the time(t)

We can calculate this by using the quadratic function we derived in question (a)

The quadratic function is

h(t) = -16t²+ 4t + 25

Where, the height (h) = 5 feet above the ground

5= -16t² + 4t + 25

-16t² + 4t + 25 -5 = 0

-16t² + 4t + 20 = 0

Using the quadratic equation formula of

x = -b ± √b² -4ac /2a

where the quadratic equation =

ax² + bx + c = 0

a = -16 , b = 4 , c = 20

x = -16 ± √4² - 4×-16×20 / 2×-16

x = -1 or ,1.25

Therefore it would take her 1.25 seconds to land safely in the net

Your friend attempted to factor an expression as shown. Find the error in your friends work. Then factor the expression correctl
loris [4]

Answer:

Third step is incorrect. The correct factored form is (x-1)(2x-5).

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

2x^2-7x+5

We need to find the factored form of this expression.

Step 1: Given

2x^2-7x+5

Step 2: Splitting the middle term method, the middle term can be written as (-5x-2x).

2x^2-5x-2x+5

(2x^2-5x)+(-2x+5)

Step 3: Taking out common factors from each parenthesis.

x(2x-5)-1(2x-5)

Step 4: Taking out common factors.

(x-1)(2x-5)

Therefore, the third step is incorrect. The correct factored form is (x-1)(2x-5).
