Please help me, I need it really badly... Please... Let’s revisit the situation of making a medical supply drop from a helicopter to survivors of a natural disaster. The crate can withstand an impact of 165 ft/sec. If the helicopter has to make the drop at 450ft, then the height of the crate as a function of time is: h(t) = 450 -16t2. The crate will land 5.3 sec after the drop is initiated. Will the crate and medical supplies survive? Show/explain how you know.

You need to compare instantaneous rates of change

a: 1/6, j: 1/4

step-by-step explanation: you are welcome

step-by-step explanation:

part a. the differences are decreasing, so we know the sequence is not arithmetic. the ratios are constant (=3/4), so we know the sequence is geometric.

part b. from part a, we know the common ratio is 3/4, so each term is 3/4 of the one before. the initial term is the number of gallons at h=1.

g[h] = (3/4)·g[h-1]

g[1] = 384 . . . . initial value required for a recursive definition

part c. the general formula for a geometric sequence is

a[n] = a[1]·r^(n-1)

we have a[1] = 384, r = 3/4, and the term number given by h. the formula that follows is

g[h] = 384·(3/4)^(h-1)

part d. filling in the value and doing the arithmetic, we have

g[12] = 384·(3/4)^11 ≈ 384·0.042235136 ≈ 16.2183 . . gallons

part e. each gallon is 4 quarts, so

16.2183 gal × 4 qt/gal = 64.8732 qt

the bolded word " farsighted" could be replaced with visionary.

the answer is  

d.

121π mi^2

hope you got it chief
