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

Solve the system of equations by finding the reduced row echelon form of the augmented matrix. Write the solutions for x and y i
Gwar [14]

Answer:

The solutions for the given system of equations are:

\left \{ {{x=-5} \atop {y=12-4z}} \right.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation system:

\left \{ {{3x+y+4z=-3} \atop {-x+y+4z=17}} \right.

We obtain the following matrix:

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}3&1&4&-3\\-1&1&4&17\end{array}\right]

<u>Step 1:</u> Multiply the fisrt row by 1/3.

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&\frac{1}{3} &\frac{4}{3}&-1\\-1&1&4&17\end{array}\right]

<u>Step 2:</u> Sum the first row and the second row.

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&\frac{1}{3} &\frac{4}{3}&-1\\0&\frac{4}{3} &\frac{16}{3}&16\end{array}\right]

<u>Step 3:</u> Multiply the second row by 3/4.

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&\frac{1}{3} &\frac{4}{3}&-1\\0&1 &4&12\end{array}\right]

<u>Step 4:</u> Multiply the second row by -1/3 and sum the the first row.

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0 &0&-5\\0&1 &4&12\end{array}\right]

The result of the reduced matrix is:

\left \{ {{x=-5} \atop {y+4z=12}} \right.

This is equal to:

\left \{ {{x=-5} \atop {y=12-4z}} \right.

These are the solutions for the system of equations in terms of z, where z can be any number.

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

The answer is "The threat to internal validity is mortality".

Step-by-step explanation:

It signifies that while in terms of your study, persons were "morning." It usually signifies when people leave the studies. There will be only likely if indeed the experiment lasts a long period that it'll be a substantial danger to validity and reliability because the chance for drops increases. Eight content validity risks are history, maturity, instrument, test, choice, average regress, human engagement, and mortality.
