An acrobat is on a platform that is 25 feet in the air. She jumps down in the initial velocity of 4 feet/seconds . Write the qua

dratic function to represent the height h of the acrobat t seconds after the jump. If a safety nets place 5 feet above the ground how long will it take for her to land safely on the net ?

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

a rectangle has a length of 14 meters and a width of 200 centimeters. What is the area of the rectangle in meters?
Alborosie

Answer:

a=28m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

l=14m

w=200cm

Required

a=?

w in meters

Formula:

1m=100cm

b=200cm---criss cross it

b*100cm/100cm=1m*200cm/100cm

b=2m

a=l*w

a=14m*2m

a=28m^2

Solve for X.........
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Hey there!

There is this equation, which states that the angle created by an inscribed angle is half the measure of the arc.

Thus, we can write: 60=5x-5

65=5x

x=13

Let me know if this helps :)
