Answer:

For around  1.1018 seconds, the diver's center of mass higher than the diving board, which is 6 feet above the water.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Relative to the surface of the water, the height h in feet of a diver's center of mass during a dive is modeled by the function h(t).

h(t) = -16t^2 + 14t + 10

where h is in feet and  t is the time in seconds since the dive began.

Since this is relative to water level, we treat water level as 0.

We have to find the period of time during the dive is the diver's center of mass higher than the diving board, which is 6 feet above the water.

Thus, h(t) = 6 feet

h(t) = 6 =-16t^2 + 14t + 10\\-16t^2 + 14t + 4 = 0

Using the quadratic formula, to solve this quadratic equation:

at^2 + bt + c = 0\\\\t = \displaystyle\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\\text{Putting }a = -16, b = 14, c = 4\\\\t =  \displaystyle\frac{-14\pm \sqrt{(14)^2-4(-16)(4)}}{2(-16)}\\\\t = -0.2268, 1.1018

Thus, for around  1.1018 seconds, the diver's center of mass higher than the diving board, which is 6 feet above the water.

How is this equation completed? I cannot find any examples in the book.

Answer: Option D

t_{max} =19\ s

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the projectile height as a function of time is given by the quadratic equation

h = -12t ^ 2 + 456t

To find the maximum height of the projectile we must find the maximum value of the quadratic function.

By definition the maximum value of a quadratic equation of the form

at ^ 2 + bt + c is located on the vertex of the parabola:

t_{max}= -\frac{b}{2a}

Where a

In this case the equation is: h = -12t ^ 2 + 456t

Then

a=-12\\b=456\\c=0

So:

t_{max} = -\frac{456}{2*(-12)}

t_{max} =19\ s

Which glide reflection describes the mapping triangle ABC triangleDEF?
ZanzabumX [31]
In order to visualize the transformations, we must execute the transformation in the options

The first transformation would shift triangle ABC 3 units to the left and reflect it across x = 4. This will not map ABC unto DEF.

The second transformation would shift triangle ABC 7 units down and reflect it across x =4. This will map ABC unto DEF,

So, the answer is the second option.

What is an equation of the line in slope intercept form? M=2/3 and y intercept is (0,-3)
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

y= (2/3)x -3

Step-by-step explanation:

M is equal to the slope in y=mx+b form. And the y intercept is equal to (0, -3), therefore the b part of the formula is -3.
