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

LiRa [457]

Answer:

=8 1/4 as a fraction or 8.25 in decimal form.
