The height h in feet of an object t seconds after it is dropped can be modeled by the quadratic equation h=-16t^2+h0, where h0 i

s the initial height of the object. Solve the equation h=-16t^2+255 for t, using the quadratic formula to determine the time it takes the rock to reach the canyon floor.

Answer:

The rock will take approximately 3.992 seconds to reach the canyon floor.

Step-by-step explanation:

For all a\cdot t^{2}+b\cdot t + c = 0, its roots are determined by the Quadratic Formula:

t = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4\cdot a\cdot c}}{2\cdot a}

In this case, it corresponds to instants when rock is either launched or hits the floor. If we know that a = -16, b = 0 and c = 255, the time it takes the rock to reach the canyon floor is:

t = \frac{-0\pm\sqrt{(0)^{2}-4\cdot (-16)\cdot (255)}}{2\cdot (-16)}

t \approx 3.992\,s

The rock will take approximately 3.992 seconds to reach the canyon floor.

Dominic is deciding if he should become a member of his local ice rink. The $144 annual membership fee at the ice rink includes
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

1. members = $ 160 , non members = $ 80

2. members = $ 168 , non members = $ 120

Step-by-step explanation:

For members

Annual membership = $ 144

rent per visit charges = $ 4

For Non members

parking charges = $ 5

admission charges = $ 11

rent per visit = $ 4

(1) for 4 visits

Members pay = $ 144 + 4 x $ 4 = $ 160

Non members pay = 4 x $ 11 + 4 x $ 5 + 4 x $ 4 = $ 80

So, non member ship is better.    

(2) for 6 visits

Members pay = $ 144 + 6 x $ 4 = $ 168

Non members pay = 6 x $ 11 + 6 x $ 5 + 6 x $ 4 = $ 120

So, non member ship is better.
