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

The diameter of a circle is 10 meters. What is the area of the circle? (Use 3.14 for Pi and round to the nearest tenth.)
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

Area of a circle=pi*(radius)^2

Diameter=2*radius

=> radius=5 m

Area=3.14*(5)^2=3.14*25=78.5 m^2

Solve: -4 < -2x < 10
Minchanka [31]
<h3>Answer:   -5 < x < 2</h3>

Explanation:

The expression -2x means -2 times x. To undo this, we divide all parts of the inequality by -2. Dividing by a negative number will flip the inequality sign. We go from "less than" to "greater than"

-4 < -2x < 10

-4/(-2) > x > 10/(-2) .... inequality signs flip

2 > x > -5

-5 < x < 2

This unknown number x is between -5 and 2. It cannot equal -5. It cannot equal 2.
