A baseball is thrown with a vertical velocity of 50 ft/s from an initial height of 6 ft. The height h in feet of the baseball ca

n be modeled by h(t) = -16t2 + 50t + 6, where t is the time in seconds since the ball was thrown. It takes the ball approximately _____ seconds to reach its maximum height. (Round to the nearest tenth of a second and enter only the number.)

To find the time to reach the maximum height you can subtract the constant 6  and write the function as:

h'(t) = -16t^2 + 50t

Then factor it: h'(t) = -2t(8t-25)
Then find the two roots:
t =0 and
8t - 25 = 0 ⇒ t = 25/8 = 3.125

The vertex is in the half between 0 and 3.125, i.e. [0+3.125]/2 = 1.5625

Then the time searched is approximately 1.56 seconds.

Explain why multiplying a fraction by 5/6 results in a value that is less than the original fraction
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(5/6) itself is less than 1 (but greater than 0).  Thus, anything multiplied by (5/6) will result in a smaller-by-magnitude quantity.

For example, (5/6)(3/4) is LESS than 3/4 because 5/6 is greater than zero but less than 1.

Jake thinks that a rhombus is not always a parallelogram.Is jake correct?
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

No, a rhombus is a quadrilateral, with four equal-length sides and opposite sides parallel to each other. All rhombuses are parallelograms, but not all parallelograms are rhombuses. The opposite interior angles of rhombuses are always congruent. A parallelogram is just a four sided closed shape where opposite sides are parallel.

I hope this helps!
