Jason jumped of a cliff into the ocean . His height as a function off time could be models as h(t)=16tsquared + 16t + 480 where

t is the time in seconds and h is height in feet. How long did it take Jason to reach his maximum height

I see that you are in high school, and I'm hoping that you've been introduced
to differential calculus, because I don't know how to answer this question without
using it.

We're told that Jason's height above the water is  <em>H(t) = -16t² + 16t + 480 .</em>
We can observe many things from this equation:
-- Up is the positive direction; down is the negative direction.
-- The acceleration of gravity is 32 ft/sec² .
-- Jason jumps upward from the cliff, at 16 ft/sec .
-- The cliff is 480-ft above the water.
(This tells us why the question is only concerned with his maximum height,
and then it ends ... 480-ft is one serious cliff, and what happens after the
peak of his arc is too gruesome to contemplate.)

In any case, his vertical velocity is the first derivative, with respect to time,
of his height above the water.

         V = -32 t + 16

At the peak of his arc, where gravity takes over, his velocity changes from
upward to downward, and it's momentarily zero.

                                           0 = -32t + 16

Add  32t  to each side:    32t = 16

Divide each side by  32:    <em>  t = 1/2 second</em>

His height at that instant is     H(0.5) = -16(0.5)² + 16(0.5) + 480 =

                                           <em>4-ft above the cliff,  484-ft above the water</em>,

and then he begins falling from that altitude.

The duration of his dive is      484 = 16 t²
                                                   t = √(484/16) = <em>5.5 seconds</em>

and he hits the water at      V = a t = (32) x (5.5) = 176 ft/sec = <em>exactly 120 mph </em>

Jason was good man ... a good student, and always kind to everyone he met.
He will certainly be missed.

I need help with how to solve this problem. It is #14. It already shows the answer (1point) but I need help on how to get there
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Option 4: 0.554

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see that the intervals and their frequencies are given.

We have to calculate the probability of students' score falling between 70 and 89. It will use the frequency of both intervals 70-79 and 80-89.

So, combined scores of both intervals are:

172+105 = 277

Now to find the probability

= 277/500

=0.554

So option no 4 is the correct answer ..

boyakko [2]

Answer:

<h2>The probability is {\frac{83}{100} }^9 \times \frac{17}{100} + {\frac{83}{100} }^8 \times {\frac{17}{100} }^2 + {\frac{83}{100} }^{10}.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of having high blood pressure is 17%.

We need to find the probability of 2 or fewer have high blood pressure.

Possibility 1: No one have high blood pressure.

The probability is {\frac{100 -17}{100} }^{10} = {\frac{83}{100} }^{10}.

Possibility 2: Only one have high blood pressure.

The probability is {\frac{83}{100} }^9 \times \frac{17}{100}.

Possibility 3: 2 among the 10 have the high blood pressure.

{\frac{83}{100} }^8 \times {\frac{17}{100} }^2.

Any of the possibilities can happen.

Hence, the required probability is {\frac{83}{100} }^9 \times \frac{17}{100} + {\frac{83}{100} }^8 \times {\frac{17}{100} }^2 + {\frac{83}{100} }^{10}.
