Answer:

Before coming back up to the surface the maximum depth, Cassidy went was 6.25 ft. below the water surface

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of Cassidy's diving platform above the water = 6 ft.

The equation that models her dive is d = x² - 7·x + 6

Where;

d = Her vertical position or distance from the water surface

x = Here horizontal distance from the platform

At Cassidy's maximum depth, we have;

dd/dx = d(x² - 7·x + 6)/dx = 2·x - 7 = 0

x = 7/2 = 3.5

∴ At Cassidy's maximum depth, x = 3.5 ft.

The maximum depth, d_{max} = d(3.5) = 3.5² - 7 × 3.5 + 6 = -6.25

The maximum depth, Cassidy went before coming back up to the surface = d_{max} = -6.25 ft = 6.25 ft. below the surface of the water.

It takes six analysts forty-two days to write a report. If the report had to be ready in 7 days, how many analysts would be need
Akimi4 [234]
If you assume doubling the workers will halve the time taken to finish then 12 analysts will take 21 days
To finish in 7 days (1/6 of 42 days) you would need 6 x the original number = 36 analysts.

Brook’s Law (see Wikipedia) suggests than adding extra analysts will actually slow the project down!
One reason is the extra people tend to get in each others way.
