Answer:

The equation for the height of the penny in function of time is:

h(t)=1451-16t^2

After 7 seconds, the penny will be at a height of 667 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The penny will have a free fall.

The initial velocity is zero, and the initial height is h(0)=1,451.

The acceleration will be the gravity, that has a value g=32 ft/s^2.

Then, we can model this starting by the speed:

dv/dt=-g\\\\v(t)=v_0-gt=-gt

Then, the height becomes:

dh/dt=v(t)=-gt\\\\h(t)=h_0-\dfrac{gt^2}{2}=1451-\dfrac{32}{2}t^2\\\\\\h(t)=1451-16t^2

The approximate height of the penny after 7 seconds can be calculated as:

h(7)=1451-16(7^2)=1451-16*49=1451-784=667

After 7 seconds, the penny will be at a height of 667 feet.

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

C is the dependent variable and r is independent

Step-by-step explanation:

Adriana can ride the bus any number of times she wants. No one is stopping her from doing that so 'r' becomes an independent quantity.

Whereas, the total cost for the bus rides depends on the number of times Adriana rides the bus and the relation is given as, C=1.25r

This is because it costs $1.25 each time she rides the bus in one direction
