A water balloon is tossed into the air with an upward velocity of 40 ft/sits height h(t) in ft after t seconds is given by the f

unction h(t) =-46t^2+40t+3
a. After how many seconds will the balloon be at the highest point above the ground?

B. What will the height be at T = 2 seconds?

h(t) = -46t² + 40t + 3

We can think this graph by t being the x-axis and h being y-axis

So we want the maximum value to y.

We know by math that the vertex of a parabola is (-b/2a, -Δ/4a)

So the y value of the vertex is -Δ/4a

Let's calculate:

Δ = b² - 4.a.c

Δ = 40² - 4.(-46).3

Δ = 2152

Yvertex = -2152/4.(-46)

Yvertex = 2152/184

Yvertex = 269/23

Now we have the value of y we need to equal it to the equation

269/23 = -46t² + 40t + 3

-46t² + 40t + 3 - 269/23 = 0

-46t² + 40t - 200/23 = 0

Δ = b² - 4.a.c  

Δ = 40² - 4 . -46 . (-200/23)  

Δ = 1600 - 4. -46 . (-200/23)  

Δ = 0

There's 1 real root.

In this case, x' = x'':

x = (-b +- √Δ)/2a

x' = (-40 + √0)/2.-46    

x'' = (-40 - √0)/2.-46

x' = -40 / -92    

x'' = -40 / -92

x' = 0,43478260869565216    

x'' = 0,43478260869565216

So, after approximately 0,4348 seconds the balloon will reach the highest point.

B) height after 2 seconds

h(2) = -46.2² + 40.2 + 3

h(2) = -46.4 + 80 + 3

h(2) = -184 + 83

h(2) = -101

Not sure how it's possible but it would be -101.

The following examples illustrate the associative property of multiplication.
kati45 [8]

Answer:

A) a • (b • c) = (a • b) • c

Step-by-step explanation:

The associative property of multiplication (or addition) shows that the order the numbers are multiplied it irrelevant, more specifically in the manners of parentheses.

So, the answer is A, which can also be seen in that substituting a as 5, b as 3, and c as 6 gives us the first example.
