Complete Question:

Alejandro jumped from a cliff into the ocean in Acapulco while vacationing with some friends.

h(t)=-16t^2 + 16t + 480

Where t is the time in seconds and h is the height in feet

(a) How long did it take for Alejandro to reach his maximum height

(b) What was the highest point Alejandro reached

(c) Alejandro hits the water after how many seconds

Answer:

(a) 0.5 seconds

(b) 484 feet

(c) 6 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

h(t)=-16t^2 + 16t + 480

Solving (a): Time to reach maximum height

This is the maximum of the function and it is calculated using:

t = -\frac{b}{2a}

Where

a = -16; b = 16; c =480

So:

t = -\frac{16}{2*-16}

t = \frac{16}{32}

t = 0.5

Solving (b): Highest point reached

Time to reach the highest point is 0.5.

So, the highest point is: h(0.5)

h(t)=-16t^2 + 16t + 480

h(0.5) = -16 * 0.5^2 + 16 * 0.5 + 480

h(0.5) = 484

Solving (c): Time he hits water.

At this point, h(t) = 0

So;

h(t)=-16t^2 + 16t + 480

-16t^2 + 16t + 480 = 0

Factorize

-16(t^2 - t -30) = 0

Divide both sides by -16

t^2 - t -30 = 0

Expand

t^2 + 5t - 6t - 30 = 0

Factorize

t(t + 5)-6(t + 5) =0

(t -6)(t + 5) =0

t =6\ or\ t = -5

Time can't be negative.

So:

t = 6

A three-dimensional object has a depth of 8 inches and a triangular base that has an area of 12 square inches, so it has a volum
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:  Option 'D' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Area of triangular base = 12 sq. inches

Height of a three dimensional object = 8 inches

We need to find the Volume of that object.

As we know that "Volume = Area of base × Height "

So, it becomes,

Volume=12\times 8\\\\Volume= 96\ cubic.\ inches

So, the volume of object is 96 cubic inches.

Hence, Option 'D' is correct.

Point E is the midpoint of AB and point F is the midpoint of CD .
Gwar [14]

Answer:

# AB is bisected by CD

# AE = 1/2 AB

# CE + EF = FD

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets talk about the mid point

- The mid-point of a segment is divided the segment into two

  equal parts

- The figure has line segment AB

- E is the mid-point of AB

∴ E divides the line segment AB into two equal parts

∴ AE = EB

∴ AE = 1/2 AB ⇒ (1)

- Any line passes through the point E will bisects the line segment AB

∴ AB is bisected by CD ⇒ (2)

∵ F is the mid-point of CD

∴ F divides the line segment CD into two equal parts

∴ CF = FD

∵ Point E lies on CF

∴ CE + EF = CF

∵ CF = FD

∴ CE + EF = FD ⇒ (3)

* There are three statements must be true (1) , (2) , (3)

# AB is bisected by CD

# AE = 1/2 AB

# CE + EF = FD

Ede4ka [16]
I’m assuming you meant in each shelf there is 14 movies, and there is 4 shelves, so you would multiply 14 x 4 which would be 56 movies
