Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The motion of the dolphin is quadratic

i.e y=-16t²+20t

To get the maximum height the dolphin will reach

We need to find the point of inflexion. i.e dy/dt=0

dy/dt=-32t+20

Then set dy/dt=0

0=-32t+20

Then, -32t=-20

t=0.625

Let find d²y/dt²

d²y/dt²=-32. Since this is negative then the point t=0.625 is the maximum point the dolphin can reach

Then substitute t=0.625 into y

y=-16t²+20t

y=-16(0.625)²+20(0.625)

y=6.25ft

Then the maximum height the dolphin can reach is 6.25ft

Using discriminant

Formular method

y=-16t²+20t

So the dog height y<7

y=-16t²+20t <7

-16t²+20t-7<0

a=-16, b= 20. c=-7

t=(-b±√b²-4ac)/2a

Using the a, b and c direct for the discriminant

D=b²-4ac

D=20²-4×-16×-7

D=-48

Which is a complex number

Then the dolphin can reach the height

Then we need to model the D to be greater than 0

Therefore,

D>0

b²-4ac>0

We cannot do anything to a and b it is already given

a=-16, b=20

(20)²-4(-16c)>0

400+64c>0

64c>-400

Then

c>-6.25

Divide both side by - and the inequality sign will change

Therefore -c<6.25

So the dog height y<6.25

y=-16t²+20t <6.25

Therefore the maximum height is 6.25.

If it is greater than that then, we are going to have a complex root movement which is not possible for the dolphin .

Which of the equations is a line whose slope is 3/4 and y-intercept is 6? 3x - 4y = -6 3x - 4y = 6 3x - 4y = -24
Brut [27]
The answer is
3x-4y=-24

y=mx+b
-4y=-3x-24
y=(3/4)x+(-24/-4)
y=(3/4)x+6

slope m=3/4
y =6

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

2 boxes of eggs = 1.30 × 2 = 2.60

1 bottle of juice = 2.60

he payed 10 and got 0.90 so he payed 9.10

9.10-2.60-2.60= 3.90 which is the price of the 3 baguettes so.... 3.90÷3= 1.30£ is the price for 1 baguette
