a) What is the maximum height of the ball?
feet
b) How many seconds does it take until the ball hits the ground?
seconds

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

I hope this helps.

Step-by-step explanation:

h(t) = -16t2 + 108t + 28

 

(a)

 

Maximum height occurs at the vertex of the height-vs.-time parabola, which is at

 

t = -108/[2(-16)] sec = ? sec

 

Evaluate h(t) at this value of t to get hmax.

 

(b)

 

Set h(t) = 0 and solve the quadratic equation for t.  You will get a positive and a negative solution.  Discard the negative solution, since time starts at t = 0.

Answer 2

The quadratic function, h = -16t + 136t + 72, gives us:

a) The maximum height of the ball is 360 feet.

b) The time taken by the ball to hit the ground is 9 seconds.

What is a quadratic function?

A quadratic function is a function over a quadratic expression, that is, over an expression having degree 2.

How to solve the question?

In the question, we are informed that a person standing close to the edge of a 72-foot building throws a ball vertically upward. The quadratic function h = -16t² + 136t + 72 models the ball's height above the ground, h in feet, t seconds after it was thrown.

We solve the following:-

a) What is the maximum height of the ball?

The maximum height of the ball can be obtained by differentiating the given quadratic function, h = -16t² + 136t + 72.

Differentiating both sides. we get:

[tex]\frac{\delta h}{\delta t} = -32t + 136[/tex] .

To get point of inflection, we equate this to 0, to get:

[tex]\frac{\delta h}{\delta t} = -32t + 136 = 0[/tex],

or, -32t + 136 = 0,

or, t = 136/32 = 4.5.

To check whether the value of h is maximum/minimum at t = 4.5, we differentiate [tex]\frac{\delta h}{\delta t} = -32t + 136[/tex] again, to get:

[tex]\frac{\delta^{2} h}{\delta t^{2} } = -32[/tex] , which is < 0, which that implies, h is maximum at t = 4.5.

Now, we calculate the maximum height, by putting in t = 4.5, in the equation, to get:

h = -16(4.5)² + 136(4.5) + 72,

or, h = -16(20.25) + 612 + 72,

or, h = -324 + 684 = 360.

Therefore, The maximum height of the ball is 360 feet.

b) How many seconds does it take until the ball hits the ground?

The time taken can be calculated by putting the value of h = 0, and solving the quadratic function h = -16t² + 136t + 72, as the height of the ball at the ground is 0.

Therefore, it can be written as:

0 = -16t² + 136t + 72.

or, 16t² - 136t - 72 = 0.

Solving this using the quadratic equation, we get:

[tex]t = \frac{-(-136)\pm \sqrt{(-136)^{2} - 4(16)(-72)}}{2(16)}[/tex] ,

or, [tex]t = \frac{136\pm \sqrt{18496 + 4608}}{32}[/tex] ,

or, [tex]t = \frac{136\pm \sqrt{23104}}{32}[/tex] ,

or, [tex]t = \frac{136\pm 52}{32}[/tex]

Therefore, either t = (136+152)/32 = 9,

or, t  (136 - 152)/32 = -0.5.

Since t represents time, we won't take the negative value, and hence t = 9.

Therefore, The time taken by the ball to hit the ground is 9 seconds.

The shadow of a 60 foot pole is a 100 feet long. What is the angle of evaluation from the end of the shadow to the top of the pole?

Answers

Answer:

θ = 36.86°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The shadow of a 60 foot pole is a 100 feet long.

We need to find the angle of elevation from the end of the shadow to the top of the pole.

Height, h = 60 foot

Hypotenuse, H = 100 feet

Using trigonometry to find it.

[tex]\sin\theta=\dfrac{\text{Height}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}\\\\\sin\theta=\dfrac{60}{100}\\\\\theta=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{60}{100})\\\\\theta=36.86^{\circ}[/tex]

So, the angle of elevation is 36.86 degrees.

Given f(x) = x^3 + kx + 2, and x + 1 is a factor of f(x), then what is the value of

Answers

Answer:

k = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

[tex]f(x) = x^3 +kx + 2[/tex]

If (x+1) is a factor of (x), we need to find the value of k.

Using remainder theorem to find it.

Put (x+1) = 0

x = -1

Put x = -1 in equation below.

[tex]x^3 + kx + 2=0\\\\(-1)^3+k(-1)+2=0\\\\-1-k+2=0\\\\1-k=0\\\\k=1[/tex]

So, the value of k is 1.

Given ΔPQR and ΔSTU, what is m∠Q?

Answers

Given that ΔPQR and ΔSTU are similar triangles, m∠Q = 64°.

Similar TrianglesThe ratios of the corresponding sides of similar triangles are always equal to each other, that is, the corresponding sides are proportional.Also, corresponding angles of two similar triangles are congruent.

Thus:

ΔPQR and ΔSTU are similar because:

PQ/ST = PR/SU = QR/TU = 3.5

Therefore,

m∠Q = 180 - 70 - 46

m∠Q = 64°

Thus, given that ΔPQR and ΔSTU are similar triangles, m∠Q = 64°.

Answers

Answer:

x= 2,180

x= number of adult tickets sold

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to establish the system of equations:

x= number of adult tickets sold

y= number of children tickets sold

5.5x + 3.5y = 22,210

x + y = 5,100

Now, we isolate one variable in a formula and substitute its value in the other:

x= 5,100 - y

5.5*(5,100 - y) + 3.5y= 22,210

28,050 - 5.5y +3.5y = 22,210

2y= 5,840

y= 2,920

x= 5,100 - 2,920

x= 2,180

-7 = 2(5) + b

-7 = 10 + b

Subtract 10 from both sides.

2 1/5 - 5/6 =

Answers

Answer:

2 1/5 - 5/6 = 41/30

Step-by-step explanation:

Turn the denominator to be the same because if the denominator is not the same so you can't subtract neither can you add.

Next find the least common multiple of both denominator (5, and 6) and ask yourself what time the denominator would give you the least common multiply you got.

1/5 x 6/6 = 6/30 and 5/6 x 5/5 = 25/30

Your expression now would be 2 6/30 - 25/30

You can't subtract 6 from 25 so you have to turn the proper fraction into a improper fraction

2 6/30 = 2 x 30 + 6 = 66/30. 25/30 = 0 x 0 + 25 = 25/30.

Your new expression would be:

66/30 -  25/30

Now you can subtract 66 - 25 and you get 41

Therefore the correct answer is 41/30 you can not simplify the answer because the numerator is a odd number and the denominator is a even number.
