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.

Tell wether the angles are adjacent or vertical. Then find the value of x.
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The angles are vertical

Step-by-step explanation:

x+42+2x+1=180

put the like terms together i.e 2x+x+42+1=180

you get: 3x+43=180

Take 43 to th other side of 180 i.e 3x=180-43 i.e (180-43=137)

You get 3x=137

Divide both sides by 3

you get x=45.666666666667(Round off to get 45.67)

Substitute the value of x to the angles

x+42(45.67+42=87.67)

2x+1(2(45.67)+1=92.34

Add 87.67+92.34=180

THis shows that the angles are vertical

What is the equation for an arithmetic sequence when n = 7 and t(n) = 54
antiseptic1488 [7]
You've given us a single term of an arithmetic series. So far, there are an infinite number of different series that it could be a member of. ... In fact, ANY function f (n) for which f (7) = 54 produces a suitable series for whole-number values of 'n'. Here are a few: ... T(n) = n + 47. ... T (n) = 8n - 2. ... T (n) = -10n + 124 .
