The function h(t) = -4t^2 + 20t represents the height (in feet) of an athlete t seconds after pole vaulting. after how many seconds does the athlete reach his or her maximum height?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2.5 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

h(t) = -4t^2 + 20t

= -4(t^2 - 5t)

Convert to vertex form by completing the square:

h(t) = -4[(t - 2.5t)^2 - 6.25]

     = -4(t - 2.5)^2 + 25    <--------- vertex form

So the vertex is at the point (2.5, 25).

So the athlete reaches the maximum height ( of 25 feet), after 2.5 seconds.

Select the correct expressions. 1 Identify each expression that represents the slope of a tangent to the curve y= * +1 at any point (x, y)​

Answers

The expressions which represents the slope of a tangent to the curve [tex]y=\frac{1}{x+1}[/tex] at any point (x, y) are:

                                ​[tex]f'(x) =limh \rightarrow 0\frac{-h}{h(x+1)(x+h+1)}\\\\f'(x) =limh \rightarrow 0\frac{-h}{x^2h+2xh+xh^2+h^2 +1}[/tex]

The slope of a tangent to the curve.

Mathematically, the slope of a tangent line to the curve is given by this equation:

[tex]f'(x) =limh \rightarrow 0\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}[/tex]

Given the function:

[tex]f(x)=y=\frac{1}{x+1}[/tex]

When (x + h), we have:

[tex]f(x+h)=y=\frac{1}{x+h+1}[/tex]

Next, we would find the derivative of f(x):

[tex]f'(x) =limh \rightarrow 0\frac{\frac{1}{x+h+1} -\frac{1}{x+1}}{h}\\\\f'(x) =limh \rightarrow 0\frac{x+1 -(x+h+1)}{h(x+1)(x+h+1)}\\\\f'(x) =limh \rightarrow 0\frac{x+1 -x-h-1}{h(x+1)(x+h+1)}\\\\f'(x) =limh \rightarrow 0\frac{-h}{h(x+1)(x+h+1)}\\\\f'(x) =limh \rightarrow 0\frac{-h}{x^2h+2xh+xh^2+h^2 +1}\\\\f'(x) = \frac{-1}{(x+1)(x+1)} \\\\f'(x) = \frac{-1}{(x+1)^2}[/tex]

Line v passes through points (10, 9) and (1, 13). Line w is perpendicular to v. What is the slope of line w?

Answers

Answer:

9 / 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of line V can be found using the formula for slope: (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

(13 - 9)  / (1 - 10)

(4) / (-9)

Two slopes are perpendicular when the values are reciprocals. The slope of line V is 4 / (-9). The reciprocal of this is: 9 / 4.

two boys decided to buy a computer. The second boy had 5/6 of the amount of money the first had. The first boy had 7/8 of the price of the computer. Together they had $696 more than they needed to pay. What was the price of the computer

Answers

Answer:

1152$

Step-by-step explanation:

b1 = 7/8 C

b2 = 5/6 b1 = 35/ 48 C

7/8 C + 35/48 C = C + 696

42/48 C + 35/48 C = 48/48 C + 696 * 48/48

(42 + 35 - 48 ) C = 696 * 48

The summation that represents the money in the account 10 years after the initial deposit is  P(10) = 300(1.055)^10

Exponential equations

Exponential equations are equations that increase geometrically

The formula for calculating the compound. interest is expressed as:

P(t) = P0(1+r)^t

Given the following

P0 =. $300
r = 5.5% = 0.055

t = 10years

Substitute

P(10) = 300(1+0.055)^10

P(10) = 300(1.055)^10

Book-club members are required to buy a minimum number of books each year. Leslee bought 3 times the minimum. Denise bought 7 more than the minimum. Together, they bought 23 books. What is the minimum number of books?​

Answers

Answer: 4 books

Step-by-step explanation:

x = minimum number of book

Leslee

= 3x (bought 3 times the minimum)

Denise

= x + 7 (bought 7 more than the minimum)

Together

= (3x) + (x + 7)

(3x) + (x + 7) = 23 (books they bought together)

3x + x + 7 = 23

3x + x = 23 - 7 (isolate the like variables together)

4x = 16 (divide both sides by 4)

x = 4

4 is the minimum number of books

To check:

3(4) + (4+7)

[tex]\diamond\large\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Answer and how to solve:-}}}}[/tex]

❖ First of all, we need to make sure that all the variables are on one side (the left-hand side, LHS) and numbers are on the right-hand side, RHS.

Here we have variables on the right-hand side, so we can move that term to the left-hand side, making sure to use the opposite operation:-

13b=6b+14              Subtract 6b on both sides, which results in:-

7b=14                      Divide by 7 on both sides, which results in:-

b=2                         We've found the value of b. Now, we need to check our solution by replacing b with the value of b, 2, and seeing whether or not we end up with a true statement:-

13(2)=6(2)+14                 Multiply.

26=12+14                       Now add.

26=26                          Since the left-hand side does equal the right-hand side, we conclude that our solution, b=2, is correct.

Answer:

∠ABC = 55°

Step-by-step explanation:

Alternate Interior Angles Theorem

If a line (AC) intersects a set of parallel lines (m and n) in the same plane at two distinct points, the alternate interior angles that are formed are congruent.

⇒  ∠BAC = ∠DCA

⇒  ∠BAC = 50°

The interior angles of a triangle sum to 180°

⇒ ∠BCA + ∠BAC+ ∠ABC = 180

⇒ 75 + 50 + ∠ABC = 180

⇒ ∠ABC = 180 - 75 - 50

∠ABC = 55°
