PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME A pinecone drops from a tree branch that is 36 feet above the ground. The function h = -16t2 + 36 is used.

If the height h of the pinecone is in feet after t seconds, at about what time does the pinecone hit the ground? Could 2 seconds be a reasonable answer to this model?

Answer:

T = 1.5s

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

To find the time the pincone hits the ground, we need to use the equation given.

Note that h = 0 when the pinecones hits the ground.

This question relates to motion under gravity.

h = -16t² + 36

0 = -16t² + 36

Make t² the subject of formula

16t² = 36

t² = 36 / 16

t² = 2.25

Take the square root of both sides

t = √(2.25)

t = 1.5s

The time it takes the pinecone to hit the ground is 1.5s.

An outlier always affects the mean.<br><br><br> True False
Ipatiy [6.2K]
Yes. If you have very high or very low outliers in your data set, it is generally preferred to use the median - the mid-point when all data points are arranged from least to greatest. 

<span>A good example for when to avoid the mean and prefer the median is salary. The mean is less good here as there are a few very high salaries which skew the distribution to the right. This drags the mean higher to the point where it is disproportionately affected by the few higher salaries. In this case, the median would only be slightly affected by the few high salaries and is a better representation of the whole of the data. </span>

<span>In general, if the distribution is not normal, the mean is less appropriate than the median.</span>
