A person standing close to the edge on top of a 72-foot building throws a ball vertically upward. The
quadratic function h = - 16ť+ 136t + 72 models the ball's height about the ground, h, in feet, t seconds after it was thrown.
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.

Answer:

Area =  201  1/4 yard^2

Or in decimal form: 201.25 yard^2

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions or even decimal form  so it is easier to operate with them:

Base = 11  1/2 yards = 23/2 yards = 11.5 yards

Height = 17 1/2 yards =  35/2 yards = 17.5 yards

Use the formula for the area of a parallelogram:

Area = Base x Height

which in our case give:

Area = 23/2 x 35/2 = 805/4 yard^2 = 201  1/4 yard^2

Or in decimal form: 201.25 yard^2

Answers

Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.

n = 22

Answer:

n=22

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

8(5+4n)+11=−5(3−7n)

(8)(5)+(8)(4n)+11=(−5)(3)+(−5)(−7n)(Distribute)

40+32n+11=−15+35n

(32n)+(40+11)=35n−15(Combine Like Terms)

32n+51=35n−15

32n+51=35n−15

Step 2: Subtract 35n from both sides.

32n+51−35n=35n−15−35n

−3n+51=−15

Step 3: Subtract 51 from both sides.

−3n+51−51=−15−51

−3n=−66

Step 4: Divide both sides by -3.

−3n /−3  =  −66 /−3

Eric´s mother drives to work in 20 min when driving at her usual speed. When traffic is bad, she drives 10 miles per hour slower, and the trip takes 10 minutes longer. What is Eric´s mother´s usual speed?

Answers

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

I could be wrong

The usual speed of Eric's mother is 4 miles per hour .

Eric´s mother drives to work in 20 min when driving at her usual speed.

Let the usual speed of Eric's mother be "u"  miles per hour (mph)

When the traffic is bad she drives 10 miles per hour slower.

The speed of Eric's mother when the traffic is bad = u-10 mph

The time taken by Eric's mother when the traffic is bad = 30 min

[tex]\rm Displacement = \dfrac{Velocity }{Time }[/tex]

The considering the displacement  in both  the cases is same hence we can

say that

[tex]\rm \dfrac{u}{20/60} = \dfrac{-(u-10)}{30/60} \\\rm 3u = -2u +20 \\5u = 20 \\u = 4[/tex]

So the usual speed of Eric's mother is 4 miles per hour .

a. Write functions that represent the values (in dollars) of the laptops after t years.
Then graph the functions in the same coordinate plane.
b. Find the approximate monthly percent decrease in value for each laptop.
C. Which laptop should you buy if you plan on selling the laptop in 5 years? Explain
your reasoning

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

The first laptop

Initial value- $2000Value loss - 14% every yearFunction for value-  V(t) = 2000*0.86^t

The second laptop

Initial value- $1200Value loss - 11% every yearFunction- V(t) = 1200*0.89^t

b)

Monthly percent decrease

The first laptop:

14%/12 = 1.16%

The second laptop:

11%/12 = 0.92%

c)

The second laptop will lose less value in 5 years hence is better choice
