A dolphin jumped up out of the water and back into the water in a parabolic path. (H) height (t) seconds . H=-8(t-0.5)^2+2 . How
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

4 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

using the vertex formula of a quadratic,

a(x-h)^{2} + k, where (h,k) is the vertex

h = -8(t-0.5)^{2}+2    h is height and t is time in seconds

the vertex (maximum height) of the dolphin is (h,k) or (0.5, 2)  

Height of 1/2

time of 2 seconds

it will take 2 additional seconds to reach the water again.

this can also be solved using quadratic equation, but since it was already set up in vertex form, i'd use that.

How many degrees does the hour hand turn to get from 12:00 to 12:20
den301095 [7]
So each hour represents 30°.
The minute hand moves 60s per minute and a full rotation is 360° so: 360/60 = 6° per minute.
<span>So in 20 minutes the minute hand will be 6 * 20 = 120° and the hour hand will be 120/12 = 10°. 
</span>so it would be 10°
