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.

Answer:

(507.05, 592.95)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

sample mean = $550, sample standard deviation S = $60.05

95% confidence interval , n = 10

For 95% confidence interval for the mean

mean ± M.E.

where M.E. is margin of error = t_{n-1}, \alpha/2\times\frac{S}{\sqrt{n} }

Substituting the values in above equation

=t_{10-1}, 0.05/2\times\frac{60.05}{\sqrt{10} }

= 2.62×18.99

=42.955

= 550±42.95

=(507.05, 592.95)

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

471.2 cm³ missing

Step-by-step explanation:

jars are cylinders

volume of cylinder = π * r² * h

h=10

r=5

v=785.4 cm³ of a full jar

r stays the same = 5

h = 4

v= 314.2 cm³ left in the jar

whats missing is the full-left

785.4-314.2=471.2 cm³ missing
