Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The height of the springboard above the water should be h(0) : Read, the height at t = 0

h(0) = -5(0) + 10(0) + 3

h(0) = 0 + 0 + 3

h(0) = 3

a) 3 meters

b)  The time it takes the diver to hit water should be, the positive 0 solution for t.  Remember, in a quadratic equation,  there are two values for t where a parabola crosses the horizontal axis, which in this case would be t.  Just by looking at the function, h(t) = -5t2 + 10t + 3 , one should be able to see that it cannot be factored easily, so it requires the Quadratic Formula to find the zeros ; x = -b ±√(b2-4ac)  / 2a

Substitute t for x, and use the coefficients for a, b, c:

t  =  (-10 ± √((102 - 4(-5)(3)))/2(-5)

t = (-10 ±√(100 + 60))/-10

t = (-10 ±√160)/-10) ; Now factor the 160 to simplify:

t = (-10 ±√(10*16))/-10

t = (-10 ±4√10)/-10 ; Factor out leading coefficient of -2 from the numerator:

t = -2(5 ± 2√10)/-10

t = (5 ± 2√10)/5

Using a calculator to find the zeros, and disregarding the negative zero (because t starts at 0):

t ≈ 2.265

b) approx. 2.265 seconds for diver to hit water.

c) To find this, set the function equal to 3 to find what other value for t would be equal to 3 (we know one is 0).

-5tt + 10t + 3 = 3

-5t2 + 10t = 0 ; factor out t

t(-5t + 10) = 0

We know t = 0:

We also know that -5t + 10 = 0

-5t = -10

t = 2

c) 2 seconds. This is the time that diver would equal height of t=0 which is where he started, and where he equals the height of the springboard.

d and e) The peak of the dive (parabola), is determined using the formula h = -b/2a (Derived from the Quadratic Formula) to find the y value (in this case, the h value, answering e) and then using that result in the function to find the x value (in this case, the t value answering d) of the point where the parabola (dive path) reaches a maximum(height), or minimum(in upward opening parabolas).

h = -10/2(-5)

h = -10/-10

h = 1

h(1) = -5(1)2 + 10(1) + 3

h(1) = -5 + 10 + 3

h(1) = 8

d) At t = 1 second, diver will have reached peak of dive.

e) At t = 1 second, diver will have reached a maximum height of 8 meters.

mary has 39 square feet of patio bricks. each square brick has sides 1 foot long. what is the greatest perimeter of a rectangle
bearhunter [10]

-- The smallest perimeter you can make with a certain area
is a circle.

-- The NEXT smallest perimeter with the same area is a square.

   With 1-ft by 1-ft square bricks, the shortest perimeter she could
make would be by using her bricks to make it as square as possible. 
Without cutting bricks into pieces, the best she could do would be  

                           (13 bricks) x (3 bricks) .

                            =    (13-ft) x (3-ft)

           Perimeter = (2 x length) + (2 x width)

                             = (2 x 13-ft)  +  (2 x 3-ft) 
                           
                             =      (26-ft)  +  (6-ft)  =  32 feet  <== shortest perimeter.

-- Then, the more UNSQUARE you make it, the more perimeter
it takes to enclose the same area.  That means Mary has to make
a rectangle as long and skinny as she can.

The longest perimeter she can make (without cutting bricks into
pieces) is    (39 bricks) x (1 brick) .

                        = (39-ft)  x  (1-ft) .

    Perimeter  =  (2 x length) + (2 x width)

                       =   (2 x 39-ft)  +  (2 x 1-ft)

                       =        (78-ft)  +  (2-ft)     =     80 feet .    

What she'll have then is a brick path, 39 feet long and 1 foot wide,
and when you walk on it, you'll need to try hard to avoid falling off
because it's only 1 foot wide.

Step 3: Now multiply the values to get 14,918,904,000. That is almost 15 billion passwords.
Troyanec [42]

The number of passwords that would be allowed if users were allowed to reuse the letters and numbers is 30891577600

<h3>How to determine the number of passwords</h3>

The given parameters are:

Password length = 8

Letters = 6

Numbers = 2

There are 26 letters and 10 digits.

Since the letters and the numbers can be repeated, then the number of passwords is:

Count = 26^6 * 10^2

Evaluate

Count = 30891577600

Hence, the number of passwords that would be allowed if users were allowed to reuse the letters and numbers is 30891577600

I need help with this, please. Your family is driving from Harrisburg Pennsylvania to San Antonio, Texas a trip of 1430 miles. Y
olga_2 [115]

Estimate the total amount you should plan to spend on gasoline for the entire trip

<em>Total distance of the trip</em> = 1430 miles

<em>After 350 miles, refill tank</em> = $35

This means 350 miles cost $35

1430 miles cost $x

solve using ratio

350 : 35 = 1430 : x

350/35 = 1430 / x

10 = 1430/x

<em>cross product</em>

10x = 1430

<em>Divide both sides by 10</em>

x = 1430 / 10

x = $143

Therefore, the total amount you should plan to spend on gasoline for the entire trip is $143
