After grabbing some food from the cafeteria, Ray trips causing his food to go up in the air before hitting the ground. The parab

olic path of his food tray can be modeled by the function ℎ() = − 0. 2 , where h is 2 + 0. 4 + 1. 6 the height in meters after t seconds. a)
What is the maximum height of the tray?

If Ray manages to catch the tray at the same height from which the tray flew out of his hands, how long is it in the air?

The maximum height of the tray is 1.8 meters and the tray is in the air for 2 seconds

<h3>The maximum height of the tray</h3>

The distorted information (i.e. the function) in the question is:

h(t) = -0.2t^2 + 0.4t + 1.6

Differentiate the function

h'(t) = -0.4t + 0.4

Set to 0

-0.4t + 0.4 = 0

Subtract 0.4 from both sides

-0.4t = -0.4

Divide by -0.4

t = 1

Substitute t = 1 in h(t) = -0.2t^2 + 0.4t + 1.6

h(1) = -0.2(1)^2 + 0.4(1) + 1.6

Evaluate

h(1) = 1.8

Hence, the maximum height of the tray is 1.8 meters

<h3>Time spent in the air</h3>

In (a), we have:

t = 1

This represents the time to reach the maximum height.

The time spent in the air is:

T = 2t

This gives

T = 2 * 1

T = 2

Hence, the tray is in the air for 2 seconds

Which function below is the inverse of f(x)= 3x+5/7

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Inverse
replace f(x) wih y
solve for x
replace x with f⁻¹(x) and y with x

so

f(x)=3x+5/7
replace
y=3x+5/7
solve for x
minnus 5/7 both sides
y-5/7=3x
divide both sides by 3
$\frac{y- \frac{5}{7} }{3}$ =x
replace with f⁻¹(x)

f⁻¹(x)= $\frac{y- \frac{5}{7} }{3}$

When you have a negative exponent, you move the base with the negative exponent to the other side of the fraction to make the exponent positive.

For example:

$\frac{1}{y^{-2}} =\frac{y^2}{1}$ or $y^2$

$2x^{-3}$ or $\frac{2^1x^{-3}}{1} =\frac{2}{x^3}$

$\frac{1}{x^{-5}} =x^5$

When a base with an exponent is divided by a base with an exponent, you subtract the exponents together. (But you can only combine the exponents when the bases are the same)

For example:

$\frac{x^2}{y}$ (can't combine because they have different bases of y and x)

$\frac{x^5}{x^3} =x^{(5-3)}=x^2$

$\frac{2^2}{2} =2^{(2-1)}=2^1 = 2$

When you multiply an exponent directly to a base with an exponent, you multiply the exponents together.

For example:

$(x^2)^3=x^{(2*3)}=x^6$

$(y^2)^{10}=y^{(2*10)}=y^{20}$

$\frac{2e^0}{(e^{-3})^2}$ First multiply the exponents together in the denominator

$\frac{2e^0}{e^{(-3*2)}}= \frac{2e^0}{e^{-6}}$ Now subtract the exponents together

$2e^{(0-(-6))}$ (two negative signs cancel each other out and become positive)

$2e^{(0+6)}$

$2e^6$
