Given:
Three numbers in an AP, all positive.
Sum is 21.
Sum of squares is 155.
Common difference is positive.

We do not know what x and y stand for.  Will just solve for the three numbers in the AP.
Let m=middle number, then since sum=21, m=21/3=7
Let d=common difference.
Sum of squares
(7-d)^2+7^2+(7+d)^2=155
Expand left-hand side
3*7^2-2d^2=155
d^2=(155-147)/2=4
d=+2 or -2
=+2  (common difference is positive)

Therefore the three numbers of the AP are
{7-2,7,7+2}, or
{5,7,9}

A diver dives from a 10m springboard. the equation f(t) = -4.9t² + 4t + 10 models her height above the pool at time t. When will
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

At time t = 0.408 sec diver will be at maximum height

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given equation of the height f(t)=-4.9t^2+4t+9

We know that velocity is the rate of change of distance with respect to time

So v=\frac{df(t)}{dt}=\frac{df(-4.9t^2+4t+10)}{dt}=-9.8t+4+0=-9.8t+4

At maximum height velocity will be zero

So -9.8t+4=0

t = 0.408 sec

So at time t = 0.408 sec diver will be at maximum height
