The position of the ball when it is at its highest point is 121

<h3>Polynomial function</h3>

Given the polynomial function expressed as y = -1/250(x - 175)^2 + 121,

The velocity of the ball at the maximum point is zero. Hence;

dy/dx = -1/125(x-175)

Equating to zero;

0 = -1/125(x - 175)

x = 175

Substitute into the function to get the maximum height

y = -1/250(175 - 175)^2 + 121,

y = 121

Hence the position of the ball when it is at its highest point is 121

Let’s say Reena and Greg each work for 20 minutes making envelopes. Who will have more envelopes to sell in the flea market? Wha
Veronika [31]

Answer:

The slope of f(x) is greater than g(x). In fact, it is double the slope of g(x). This means Reena can make envelopes two times as fast as Greg. But the y-intercept of g(x) is greater than f(x), meaning at 0 minutes, Greg starts with more envelopes than Reena. If they work for 20 minutes, Greg will have 10 more envelopes than Reena. But if they work longer than 30 minutes, Reena will have a larger stock of envelopes than Greg.

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer: 33 students wore blue jeans .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of black pants.

Given : For the choir concert, the choir director has asked that everyone wear either black pants or blue jeans.

Three times as many students wore black pants as blue jeans.

i.e. Number of blue pants = 4x

If there are forty-four students in the choir, then we have

x+3x=44\\\\\Rightarrow\ 4x=44

Divide both sides by 4 , we get

x=11

Thus , the number of black pants = 11

Then , the number of blue pants = 3\times11=33

Therefore, 33 students wore blue jeans .

Find the equation of the line with slope = -7 and passing through (-7,51). write your equation in the form y=mx+b
muminat

Answer:

y = -7x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we do not have the y-intercept (or, when the x is 0) We will use the Slope Form Formula (y - y1 = m(x - x1)) to find the Slope Intercept Form Formula (y = mx + b)

Point: (-7,51)

Slope: -7

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 51 = -7(x - (-7))

y - 51 = -7(x + 7)

y - 51 = -7x - 49

y = -7x - 49 + 51

y = -7x + 2
