-25.65 - 16.5 + 12.45 = -29.7......he is now at 29.7 ft below the surface
Answer:
y=-2x+12
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an equation in slope-intercept form:
y=mx+b (where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept)
We are given the slope, -2.
y=-2x+b
We plug in the values (5,2):
2=(-2)*5+b
2=-10+b
b=12
The equation is:
y=-2x+12
Answer:
42.25 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The height function is a parabola. The maximum value of a negative parabola is at the vertex, which can be found with:
x = -b/2a
where a and b are the coefficients in y = ax² + bx + c.
Here, we have y = -16t² + 52t. So a = -16 and b = 52. The vertex is at:
t = -52 / (2×-16)
t = 13/8
Evaluating the function:
h(13/8) = -16(13/8)² + 52(13/8)
h(13/8) = -169/4 + 169/2
h(13/8) = 169/4
h(13/8) = 42.25
