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.

Theorem: the sum of any two even integers equals 4k for some integer k. "proof: suppose m and n are any two even integers. by de
icang [17]

Remark

The proof is only true if m and n are equal. Make it more general.

m = 2k

n = 2v

m + n = 2k + 2v = 2(k + v).

k and v can be equal but many times they are not. From that simple equation you cannot do anything for sure but divide by 2.

There are 4 combinations

m is divisible by 4 and n is not. The result will not be divisible by 4.

m is not divisible by 4 but n is. The result will not be divisible by 4.

But are divisible by 4 then the sum will be as well. Here's the really odd result

If both are even and not divisible by 4 then their sum is divisible by 4
