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

If average of m numbers is n^2 and average of n numbers is m^2 then average of m+n numbers is 
kkurt [141]
The sum of the m numbers divided by m (which is the average) equals n^2. Then, the sum of the m numbers equals mn^2.
The sum of the n numbers divided by n (which is the average) equals m^2. Then, the sum of the n numbers equals nm^2.
The average of m+n numbers which is the sum of the m numbers plus the sum of the n numbers divided by (m+n) equals (mn^2+nm^2)/(m+n). This is mn(n+m)/(m+n). Then the factor (m+n) can be ruled out and the result is mn.

Hey DatGamer13!

Question:

Solve for x

Solution:

Subtract 10 from both sides.

3x^2 + 13x − 10 = 10 − 10

3x^2 + 13x − 10 = 0

Factor left side of equation.

(3x − 2) (x + 5) = 0

Set factors equal to 0.

3x − 2 = 0 or x + 5 = 0

Answer:

x = 2/3 or x = −5
