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.

1) (1 Point) : If-18 - x=9, then -5 +6x = ?
TiliK225 [7]
-167, because if you solve -18-x=9, x will be equal to -27. When you put -27 in place of the x in -5+6x, you get -167. Have a nice day!

QUESTION 9.1 POINT
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

120 different color  combinations are possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order in which the color are chosen is not important(blue, green and red is the same outcome as red, blue, green), which means that the combinations formula is used to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

In this question:

3 colors from a set of 10, so:

C_{10,3} = \frac{10!}{3!7!} = 120

120 different color  combinations are possible.
