An object is launched directly in the air at a speed of 64 feet per second from a platform located 16 feet above the ground. The

position of the object can be modeled using the function f(t)=−16t2+64t+16, where t is the time in seconds and f(t) is the height, in feet, of the object. What is the maximum height, in feet, that the object will reach?

Considering the vertex of the quadratic equation, the maximum height that the object will reach is of 80 feet.

<h3>What is the vertex of a quadratic equation?</h3>

A quadratic equation is modeled by:

y = ax^2 + bx + c

The vertex is given by:

(x_v, y_v)

In which:

  • x_v = -\frac{b}{2a}
  • y_v = -\frac{b^2 - 4ac}{4a}

Considering the coefficient a, we have that:

  • If a < 0, the vertex is a maximum point.
  • If a > 0, the vertex is a minimum point.

In this problem, the equation is:

f(t) = -16t² + 64t + 16.

Hence the coefficients are:

a = -16, b = 64, c = 16.

The maximum value is found as follows:

y_v = -\frac{64^2 - 4(-16)(16)}{4(-16)} = 80

A survey is being planned to determine the mean amount of time corporation executives watch television. a pilot survey indicated
Natali [406]
Missing question: How many executives should be surveyed?

Solution:
Mean = 13 hours
SD = 3 hours
Confidence level = 95%

Mean viewing time within a quarter of an hour = 0.25 = 1.96*3/sqrt (N)

Where N = Sample population

N = {(1.96*3)/0.25}^2 = 553.19 ≈ 554

Therefore, 554 executives should be surveyed to yield such results.
