Jason jumped off of a cliff into the ocean in Acapulco while vacationing with some friends. His height above ocean measured in f

eet as a function of time could be modeled by the h(t) = -16t2 + 16t + 480, where t is the time in seconds from jumping off. How high is the cliff in feet?

Answer:

480 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the function $h(t)=-16t^2+16t+480$ models Jason's height above ocean measured in feet as a function of time and t is the time in seconds from jumping off.

To find the height of cliff we need to substitute t=0 in our given function as at t=0 we will get Jason's height above ocean which is same as the height of the cliff.

Upon substituting t=0 in our function we will get,

$h(0)=-16(0)^2+16*0+480$

$h(0)=-0+0+480$

$h(0)=480$

Since, the function gives Jason's height above ocean in feet, therefore, the cliff was 480 feet high.

Assume that T is a linear transformation. Find the standard matrix of T. T: R^3 right arrow R^2 , T(e 1) =(1,2), and T(e2 ) =( -

irina [24]

Answer:

$A = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&-4&2\\2&6&-6\end{array}\right]$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$T:R^3->R^2$

$T(e_1) = (1,2)$

$T(e_2) = (-4,6)$

$T(e_3) = (2,-6)$

Required

Find the standard matrix

The standard matrix (A) is given by

$Ax = T(x)$

Where

$T(x) = [T(e_1)\ T(e_2)\ T(e_3)]\left[\begin{array}{c}x_1&x_2&x_3\\-&&x_n\end{array}\right]$

$Ax = T(x)$ becomes

$Ax = [T(e_1)\ T(e_2)\ T(e_3)]\left[\begin{array}{c}x_1&x_2&x_3\\-&&x_n\end{array}\right]$

The x on both sides cancel out; and, we're left with:

$A = [T(e_1)\ T(e_2)\ T(e_3)]$

Recall that:

$T(e_1) = (1,2)$

$T(e_2) = (-4,6)$

$T(e_3) = (2,-6)$

In matrix:

$(a,b)$ is represented as: $\left[\begin{array}{c}a\\b\end{array}\right]$

So:

$T(e_1) = (1,2) = \left[\begin{array}{c}1\\2\end{array}\right]$

$T(e_2) = (-4,6)=\left[\begin{array}{c}-4\\6\end{array}\right]$

$T(e_3) = (2,-6)=\left[\begin{array}{c}2\\-6\end{array}\right]$

Substitute the above expressions in $A = [T(e_1)\ T(e_2)\ T(e_3)]$

$A = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&-4&2\\2&6&-6\end{array}\right]$

Hence, the standard of the matrix A is:

$A = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&-4&2\\2&6&-6\end{array}\right]$

In circle E with m DEF 36 and DE = 3 units find area of

deff fn [24]

Answer:

A ≈ 2.83 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of the sector is calculated as

A = area of circle × fraction of circle

= πr² × $\frac{36}{360}$

= π × 3² × $\frac{1}{10}$

= $\frac{9\pi }{10}$

≈ 2.83 units² ( to the nearest hundredth )

How many groups of 2.4 will divide into 29.52 ?

Bas_tet [7]

29.52/2.4 =12.3
so 2.4 groups will go into 29.52, 12.3 times
