h(t) is the height of the diver in feet above the water
Now it asks about the time at which diver reaches the water
When diver reaches the water , the height of diver from water should be zero
So we plug h(t) =0
So
divide whole equation by -16
we can now factor the quadratic equation
So we get
(t+4)(t-3) =0
plug each factor equal to zero and solve for t
t+4 =0 and t-3 =0
So t=-4 and t=3
Now time cannot be negative , So t=3
So time = 3 seconds
It takes 3 seconds for the diver to reach the water
Answer:
Option A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a square is
.... (1)
where, x is side length.
The length of each side of his square plot is decreasing at the constant rate of 2 feet/year.
It is given that bob currently owns 250,000 square feet of land.
Fist find the length of each side.
Taking square root on both sides.
Differentiate with respect to t.
Substitute x=500 and in the above equation.
Farmer bob is losing 2,000 square feet of land per year.
Therefore, the correct option is A.
