h(t) is the height of the diver in feet above the water
Now it asks about the time at which diver reaches the water
When diver reaches the water , the height of diver from water should be zero
So we plug h(t) =0
So

divide whole equation by -16

we can now factor the quadratic equation
So we get
(t+4)(t-3) =0
plug each factor equal to zero and solve for t
t+4 =0 and t-3 =0
So t=-4 and t=3
Now time cannot be negative , So t=3
So time = 3 seconds
It takes 3 seconds for the diver to reach the water
Answer:
Opposite of the hypotenuse
Step-by-step explanation:
In a right triangle the right angle (90 degrees) is opposite of the hypotenuse
15x^2 = 12x
divide each side by x
15x = 12
now divide each side by 15
x = 12/15 or 4/5 which is also 0.8
We can write two equations for this. x = each minute of calls
Plan A = .1x + 16
Plan B = .14x
Make the two equations equal each other, so we can find when they are the same.
.1x + 16 = .14x
Subtract .1x from both sides
16 = 0.04x
Divide by 0.04 to get x by itself
400 = x.
Earlier, we set x as each minute of calls. This means that after 400 calls, Plan A and Plan B will cost the same.
To find the cost, substitute 400 into both equations by themselves.
Plan A cost = .1x + 16
Plan A cost = .1(400) + 16
Plan A cost = 40 + 16
Plan A cost = $56
Plan B cost = .14x
Plan B cost = .14(400)
Plan B cost = $56
Final answer: After 400 calls, Plan A and Plan B will both cost $56.
