kay was walking along the bridge above the river. she accidentally lost her grip on her camera when she was trying to get it out to photograph massive bird nests in the trees. the height of the camera above the water can be modeled by the equation
y = -16t^2 + 400, where t represents the seconds after the camera is dropped. how long will it take (in seconds) before kay sees the splash from the camera hitting the water.

The given equation in this case is:

 y = -16 t^2 + 400

We can see that the slope of the equation is negative (-16) which means that the position of Kay is on the positive y-axis , while the bottom of the river is in the origin. This is supported by taking t = 0, the initial y becomes y = 400. Therefore the position of Kay now is at (0, 400).

So to find for the time when the camera hits the water, then y must be zero (t, 0) so we have to find for t in this case.

When y = 0

0 = -16 t^2 + 400

16 t^2 = 400

t^2 = 25

t = 5 s

Therefore it takes 5 seconds for the camera to hit the water and for Kay to see a splash.

the answer is b.

step-by-step explanation:

by the trigonometric ratio tangent, tangent equals opposite divided by adjacent.

therefore, tan(50) equals ac/3

multiply each side by 3 to get: ac=3tan(50)

the answer is b.

whole numbers.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the average monthly rainfall (in millimeters) model r(m) for the years 1900-2009 as a function of the month number m.

as we can see m is taken for the number of months for years 1900-2009.

we know that number of months can't be a negative number or decimal number or a fraction.

so, the number of months could be only positive whole numbers.

therefore, whole numbers is more appropriate for the domain of r.
