A helicopter hovers over a mountain top, and a professional snowboarder drops onto the snow 252525 feet below. the snowboarder's

height off the ground, in feet, while falling can be modeled by a quadratic function of seconds of falling, ttt, which has the form h(t) = d - at^2h(t)=d−at 2 h, left parenthesis, t, right parenthesis, equals, d, minus, a, t, start superscript, 2, end superscript. if the snowboarder is still 212121 feet above the ground after falling for 0.50.50, point, 5 seconds, how long does the entire 252525 foot drop take? round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a second.

Given:
  h(t) = 25 - a·t²
  h(0.5) = 21

Find:
  t such that h(t) = 0

Solution:
  h(0.5) = 25 - a·0.5² = 21
  25 - 21 = a/4
  4·4 = a = 16
Then
  h(t) = 25 - 16t²
We want h(t) = 0, so
  0 = 25 - 16t²
  16t² = 25
  t² = 25/16 = (5/4)²
  t = 5/4 = 1.25

It takes 1.25 seconds for the entire 25 ft drop.

Find The distance between (-3,1) and (-1,6). If necessary,round to the nearest tenth.
kifflom [539]
Use distance formula:-

distance =  sqrt  [ (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2) ]

let (x1,y1) = (-3,1) and (x2,y2) = (-1,6)   Plug these values in to formula.

You can trim the grass using a lawnmower at a rate of 80 square feet per minute. You can use a string trimmer at a rate of 20 sq
docker41 [41]
So first its 20 x 20 which is 400 so then the lawnmower does 80 per min so 80 x 5 and u get 400
