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

Lines m and n are parallel lines cut by a transversal l.
Igoryamba

Answer:

Angles 1 and 3 are congruent as vertical angles; angles 3 and 7 are congruent as corresponding angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

<1 and <3 are vertical angles  because they are formed by the same lines and are opposite each other .  3 and 7 are corresponding angles because they are in the same position at each intersection where a straight line crosses two others.  Since the lines are parallel, they are equal  That makes 1 and 7 equal

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to 4x-8y=64
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer

Slope: -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular slope is the negative reciprocal of the original slope.

The original slope was 1/2. Flip it. 2/1=2. Now change the sign to -2.
