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

Find the sum of the following series. Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary,
Aneli [31]

Answer:

sum =   \frac{a( {r}^{n - 1} )}{r - 1}   \\  : but \: l = a( {r}^{n - 1} ) \\ 49152 = 3( {2}^{n - 1} ) \\ 16384 =  {2}^{n - 1}  \\  {2}^{n}  = 32768 \\  {2}^{n}  =  {2}^{15}  \\ n = 15 \\  \therefore \: sum =  \frac{3(2 {}^{15 - 1}) }{15 - 1}  \\  =  \frac{49152}{14}  \\  = 3510.9

the sugar-sweet company is going to transport its sugar in to Market it will cost $6,500 to rent trucks plus $150 for each ton o
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

$ 3750  = truck rental;   $125 per ton of sugar transported

C is cost;  S is number of tons transported

Equation relating C to S would be a linear equation like y = mx + b

C = 125S + $3750

This equation would be graphed in the first quadrant only

you would start with your y-intercept at (0, 3750)

As x increases by 1, your y increases by 125 yielding these points:

(1, 3875)  (2, 4000)  (3, 4125)  etc.  

This shows that for each increase by one ton of sugar, the cost goes up $125
