The diver will hit the water when the height is zero, so we will want to set our height function equal to zero
0 = -4t^2 + 11t + 3
we will then factor to find out value of t that make the function equal to zero
0 = (-4t - 1 ) ( t - 3 )
This means our function equals zero when t = -1/4 s and t = 3 seconds
Since time cannot be negative, our final solution is t = 3 seconds

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When the diver hits the water the height, h(t), becomes zero.  We set h(t) equal to zero and solve the resulting equation for t:

h(t) = -4t^2+ 11t + 3 = 0

The coefficients of this quadratic equation are {-4, 11, 3}, and so the discriminant (needed in the quadratic formula) is -11 - 4(-4)(3) = 47.

                                            -11 ± √37               11 + √37            11 - √37

Therefore the roots are t = --------------, or t = ------------- or t = ---------------

                                                  -8                          8                        8

Both of these results are positive.  Picture the graph as one opening down and intersecting the x-axis in two places.  The diver hits the water (and h becomes zero) at the later time:

       11 + √37

t = ---------------- sec (a little over 2 sec)

              8

At a restaurant, 40% of customers order tacos and 60% order fajitas. Of the customers that order tacos, 50% order a chicken taco
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

38% order a chicken dinner

Step-by-step explanation:

40% order tacos.  50% of 40% order chicken tacos.  50% of 40% = 0.5 * 0.4 = 0.2 = 20% order chicken tacos.

60% order fajitas.  30% of 60% order chicken fajitas.  30% of 60% = 0.3 * 0.6 = 0.18 = 18% order chicken fajitas.

20% + 18% = 38% order a chicken dinner.
