Answer: D. 1.5 s; 42 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A  ball is thrown into the air with an upward velocity of 48 ft/s. Its height h in feet after t seconds is given by the function

h(t) = -16t^2 + 48t + 6

To find the time taken to reach the maximum height by the ball , we differentiate the above function  with respect to 't', we get

h' (t)=(2) -16t+ 48(1) + (0)=-32t+48

Now put h' (x) =0 , we get

-32t+48=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ t=\dfrac{48}{32}=\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ t=1.5

Hence, it will take 1.5 seconds to reach the maximum height by the ball.

The maximum height of the ball at t= 1.5 seconds will be :

h(t) = -16(1.5)^2 + 48(1.5) + 6=-36+72+6=42 \text{ ft}

Hence, the correct option is D. 1.5 s; 42 ft.

The answer to this, your question is                                                                               h = -16t • 2 + 48t + 6
h = -32t + 48t + 6
h = 16t + 6     HOPE I HELPED IN A WAY!                                                                                                                                             ~Marcey<3

What is the equation of a line perpendicularto y=-2/5x-1 that passes through(2,-8)​
Andrews [41]
<h2>Answer: y =  ⁵/₂ x - 13   OR  y + 8 =  ⁵/₂ x - 5 </h2>

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

<u>Find the slope of the perpendicular line</u>

When two lines are perpendicular, the product of their slopes is -1. This means that the slopes are <em>negative-reciprocal</em>s of each other.

⇒  if the slope of this line = - ²/₅

      then the slope of the perpendicular line (m) = ⁵/₂

<u>Determine the equation</u>

We can now use the point-slope form (y - y₁) = m(x - x₁)) to write the equation for this line:

                                ⇒  y - (-8) =  ⁵/₂ (x - 2)

                                   ∴  y + 8 = ⁵/₂ (x - 2)

We can also write the equation in the slope-intercept form by making y the subject of the equation and expanding the bracket to simplify:

                  since   y + 8 =  ⁵/₂ (x - 2)

                                    y =  ⁵/₂ x - 13
