Answer:
Jody
Step-by-step explanation:
You can either convert 500 seconds to minutes or 8 minutes to seconds to compare. I'll do both.
There is 60 seconds in a minute. To find the total minutes of 500 seconds, divide 500 by 60 → 8.3, which means that Jody practiced for 8.3 minutes.
To find the total seconds of 8 minutes, multiply 60 seconds per minute by 8 minutes → 60 * 8 = 480 seconds which means that Bill practiced for 480 seconds.
Now you can compare. Jody practiced for 500 seconds, or 8.3 minutes. Bill practiced for 480 seconds, or 8 minutes. Jody practiced longer.
1. The function

is a parabola of the form

. The the formula for the axis of symmetry of a parabola is

. We can infer from our function that

and

, so lets replace those values in our formula:





We can conclude that to the left of the line of symmetry the ball is reaching its maximum height, and to the right of the line of symmetry the ball is falling.
2. Lets check how much time the ball takes to reach its maximum height and return to the ground. To do that we are going to set the height equal to zero:



or


or

From our previous point we know that the ball reaches its maximum time at

, which means that <span>
it takes 1.5 seconds to reach the maximum height and 1.5 seconds to fall back to the ground.</span>
Answer: Reduction
Step-by-step explanation: If the scale factor of a dilation is between 0 and 1, the image will be smaller than the object, a reduction. It would only be an enlargement if the scale factor is greater than 1.
