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

What is the area of this partial circle with a radius of 14 inch
AveGali [126]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this circle is partial we will divide the area of the whole circle by 2

the area of a circle is expressed by \pi r^2 so insert 14 for the radius.

14^2\pi

196\pi

divide the area by 2

98\pi=307.876

Hope that helps :)

Which of these strategies would eliminate a variable in the system of equations? ​8x+8y=2 8x+5y=1 ​ Add the equations. (Choice B
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

B. Subtract the bottom equation from the top equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

When looking at the two equations:

8x + 8y = 2

8x + 5y = 1

We can easily get rid of the x variable by subtracting the two equations from each other since the terms are equivalent. This would allow us to solve for the y value, which we could plug into the an equation to solve for the x value.
