If an object is projected upward from ground level with an initial velocity of 128 ft per sec, then it's height in feet after t

seconds is given by s(t)=-16t^2+128t. Find the number of seconds it will take to reach its maximum height. What is this maximum height ?

Answer: t= 4 seconds

Maximum height = 256 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the object projected upwards after t seconds is given by

s(t)=-16t^2+128t.

The expression is a quadratic equation. When this equation is plotted on a graph, height against time, it takes the shape of a parabola whose vertex represents the maximum height attained by the object.

To get the value of t at the maximum height,

t = -b/2a

From the equation,

a = -16

b = 128

t = -128/-2×-16

= -128 /- 32= 4

it will take 4 seconds to reach its maximum height

To find maximum height attained, put t= 4 in the equation

s(t)=-16t^2+128t

S = -16× 4^2 + 128×4

S = -256+512

S = 256 feet

Which of the lines graphed has a slope of -1/2 and a y-intercept of 3
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The correct option is C).

Figure show the line with slope of -1/2 and a y-intercept of 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of line is given by y=mx+c.

Where m is slope and c is y-intercept.

Given that line has slope

m=\frac{-1}{2} and c=3

Thus equation of line will be

y=mx+c.

y=\frac{-1}{2}x+3

To plot the line we need at least two points

Take x=0

y=\frac{-1}{2}x+3

y=\frac{-1}{2}0+3

y=3

The required point is A(0,4)

Take x=2

y=\frac{-1}{2}2+3

y=2

The required point is B(2,2)

Using this points to graph the given equation of line

Figure show the line with a slope of -1/2 and a y-intercept of 3

The correct option is C).

Geometry<br> Solve for x. Round to the nearest tenth of a degree, if necessary.
zvonat [6]

Answer:

  13. x = 52.8°

  14. 663.65 ft

  15. 30.7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA is intended to remind you of the relations between sides of a right triangle and trig functions of the acute angles.

__

<h3>13.</h3>

The sides adjacent and opposite the angle are marked. The relevant trig relation is ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

  tan(x°) = 2.5/1.9

The angle is found using the inverse tangent function:

  x° = arctan(2.5/1.9) ≈ 52.8°

__

<h3>14.</h3>

Again, the tangent relation comes into play. The given values are the side opposite and the angle, and we are asked for the side adjacent.

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

  tan(11°) = (129 ft)/(distance to shore)

  distance to shore = (129 ft)/tan(11°)

  distance to shore ≈ 663.65 ft

__

<h3>15.</h3>

In this scenario, the given angle is opposite the given side of the triangle. The measure of the hypotenuse is needed.

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  sin(71°) = (29 ft)/(ladder length) . . . . substitute given information

  ladder length = (29 ft)/sin(71°) . . . . . . solve for ladder length

  ladder length ≈ 30.7 ft

How can you use number patterns to find the least common factor
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

The correct answer is: 360.

Explanation:

First we can express 120 as follows:

2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5 = 120

You can get the above multiples as follows:

120/2 = 60

60/2 =30

30/2 = 15

15/3 = 5 (Since 15 cannot be divisible by 2, so we move to the next number)

5/5 = 1

Take all the terms in the denominator for 120, you would get: 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5 --- (1)

Second we can express 360 as follows:

360/2 = 180

180/2 = 90

90/2 =45

45/3 = 15 (Since 45 cannot be divisible by 2, so we move to the next number)

15/3 = 5

5/5 = 1

Take all the terms in the denominator for 360, you would get: 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 5 --- (2)

Now in (1) and (2) consider the common terms once and multiple that with the remaining:

2*2*2*3*5 = Common between the two

3 = Remaining

Hence (2*2*2*3*5) * (3) = 360 = LCM (answer)

Lucy Baker is analyzing demographic characteristics of two television programs: COPS (population 1) and 60 Minutes (population 2
drek231 [11]

Answer and Explanation:

Her alternative hypothesis is that there is some difference between the means of the ages of the audiences of the two television programs. That is, the mean ages of the two audiences are not the same.

If the mean of the ages of the audiences of television programme 1 (COPS) is xbar₁

And the mean of the ages of the audiences of the television programme 2 (60 minutes) is xbar₂

Her alternative hypothesis can be represented mathematically as

xbar₁ - xbar₂ ≠ 0
