Answer:

a) 39 meters

b) t = 1.8 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

To find the starting height of the riders, we just need to use the value of t = 0 in the equation of h(t):

h(0) = -9.8*0^2 - 5*0 + 39

h(0) = 39 meters

b)

To find when the height will be equal 0, we just need to use the value of h(t) = 0 and then find the value of t:

0 = -9.8*t^2 - 5*t + 39

Delta = b^2 - 4ac = 25 + 4*39*9.8 = 1553.8

sqrt(Delta) = 39.418

t1 = (5 + 39.418)/(-2*9.8) = -2.2662 s (A negative value for the time is not suitable for the problem)

t2 = (5 - 39.418)/(-2*9.8) = 1.756 s

Rounding to nearest tenth, we have t = 1.8 s

Write an explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence whose common difference is -4.5
makvit [3.9K]
If the difference is always -4.5, then it is always -4.5 times something, so that it changes -4.5 ever 1 number.  This means that our equation is y=-4.5x.  From there, we can add any constant, as it will not change the difference.  I will leave that up to you to pick, so the equation is y=-4.5x+C, where C is any real number.

Hope this helps!
