The function h(t) = -16t^2 + 16t represents the height (in feet) of a horse (t) seconds after it jumps during a steeplechase.

A.) To find the maximum height, we can take the derivative of h(t). This will give us the rate at which the horse jumps (velocity) at time t.

h'(t) = -32t + 16

When the horse reaches its maximum height, its position on h(t) will be at the top of the parabola. The slope at this point will be zero because the line tangent to the peak of a parabola is a horizontal line. By setting h'(t) equal to 0, we can find the critical numbers which will be the maximum and minimum t values.

-32t + 16 = 0

-32t = -16

t = 0.5 seconds

b.) To find out if the horse can clear a fence that is 3.5 feet tall, we can plug 0.5 in for t in h(t) and solve for the maximum height.

h(0.5) = -16(0.5)^2 + 16(-0.5) = 4 feet

If 4 is the maximum height the horse can jump, then yes, it can clear a 3.5 foot tall fence.

c.) We know that the horse is in the air whenever h(t) is greater than 0. 

-16t^2 + 16t = 0

-16t(t-1)=0

t = 0 and 1

So if the horse is on the ground at t = 0 and t = 1, then we know it was in the air for 1 second.

Uhhhh last question lol I have to match them
Anarel [89]

Answer:

7. is 5 - 35n

8. is -6x - 24

9. is 15m - 30

10. is 24p - 28

11. is 5b - 5

12. 5x + 45

RULE:

WHEN MULTIPLYING TWO NEGATIVES YOU WILL GET POSITIVE.

IF ONE IS NEGATIVE AND THE OTHER IS POSITIVE WHEN MULTIPLYING IT WILL BE NEGATIVE.

WHEN MULTIPLYING TWO POSITIVE NUMBERS IT WILL ALWAYS BE POSITIVE

SAME THING IF YOU MULTIPLY A POSITIVE NUMBER WITH A NEGATIVE NUMBER YOU GET A NEGATIVE AS YOUR ANSWER

YOU NEED ONE SIGN OF THE SAME WHEN MULTIPLYING TO BE A POSITIVE AS YOUR ANSWER

YOU NEED ONE SIGN TO BE DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER WHEN MULTIPLYING TO GET A NEGATIVE AS YOUR ANSWER

Complete the square than convert to vertex form. y=2x^2+8x-9​
8_murik_8 [283]

y=2x^2+8x-9\\D=b^2-4ac\\D=64-4(2)(-9)\\D=64+72 > 0

There are 2 roots so the only way to complete the square is,

y=2x^2+8x-9\\y=2[(x^2+4x)]-9\\y=2[(x^2+4x+4)-4]-9\\y=2[(x+2)^2-4]-9\\y=2(x+2)^2-8-9\\y=2(x+2)^2-17

Just factor 2 out of 2x^2+8x (just ignore the -9) then find the number that will make the terms be able to complete the square.

then complete the square and multiply 2 inside the brackets.

subtraction as you already get the vertex form and know how to complete the square.

Vertex Form: y=2(x+2)^2-17
