A skydiver jumps from an airplane at an altitude of 2,500 ft. He falls under the force of gravity until he opens his parachute a

t an altitude of 1,000 ft. Approximately how long does the jumper fall before he opens his chute? For this quadratic model we will let the y-axis be the axis of symmetry.

Answer:

9.7 seconds to the nearest tenth.

Step-by-step explanation:

He falls for a distance of 1,500 ft.

We use the equation of motion  s = 1/2 * 32 * t^2   where s = distance and t = time.

1500 = 16 * t^2

t^2  = 93.75

t =  9.7 seconds answer.

Answer:

9.7

Step-by-step explanation:

minus 1,000 ft (the height he opened his parachute) from 2,500 (the height of which he started)

This will give you the distance of his fall

1,500 ft.

Then, use the equation of motion which is s = 1/2 * 32 * t^2  

where s represents distance and t is time

1500 = 16 * t^2

t^2  = 93.75

Then simply round to the nearest tenth and it will be on the test :)

I really just ignored the equation it gives to solve it sorry.

P and W are twice-differentiable functions with P(7)=2(W(7)). The line y=9+2.5(x-7) is tangent to the graph of P at x=7. The lin
fiasKO [112]

Using the product rule, we have

m(x) = x W(x) \implies m'(x) = xW'(x) + W(x)

so that

m'(7) = 7W'(7) + W(7)

The equation of the tangent line to <em>W(x)</em> at <em>x</em> = 7 has all the information we need to determine <em>m'</em> (7).

When <em>x</em> = 7, the tangent line intersects with the graph of <em>W(x)</em>, and

<em>y</em> = 4.5 + 2 (7 - 7)   ==>   <em>y</em> = 4.5

means that this intersection occurs at the point (7, 4.5), and this in turn means <em>W</em> (7) = 4.5.

The slope of this tangent line is 2, so <em>W'</em> (7) = 2.

Then

m'(7) = 7\cdot2 + 4.5 = \boxed{18.5}

Answer:

The values of 'x' are -1.2, 0, 0, -4i or 4i.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The equation to solve is given as:

5x^5+6x^4+80x^3+96x^2=0

Factoring x^2 from all the terms, we get:

x^2(5x^3+6x^2+80x+96)=0

Now, rearranging the terms, we get:

x^2(5x^3+80x+6x^2+96)=0

Now, factoring 5x from the first two terms and 6 from the last two terms, we get:

x^2(5x(x^2+16)+6(x^2+16))=0\\x^2(x^2+16)(5x+6)=0

Now, equating each factor to 0 and solving for 'x', we get:

x^2=0\\x=0\ and\ 0\\\\5x+6=0\\x=\frac{-6}{5}=1.2\\\\x^2+16=0\\x^2=-16\\x=\sqrt{-16}=\pm 4i

There are 3 real values and 2 imaginary values. The value of 'x' as 0 is repeated twice.

Therefore, the values of 'x' are -1.2, 0, 0, -4i or 4i.
