Answer: 5 seconds

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

Maximum height is the y-value of the vertex. The number of seconds at maximum height is the x-value (aka axis of symmetry).

h(x) = -2x² + 20x + 48

      a=-2    b=20   c=48

Axis of symmetry: x = \frac{-b}{2a}

                                 = \frac{-20}{2(-2)}

                                 = \frac{-20}{-4}

                                 = 5

Answer:

5seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the height of over craft given as h(x)=-2x^2+20x+48, at maximum height, the velocity of the object will be zero I.e v = d{h(x)}/dx = 0

d{h(x)}/dx = -4x + 20

If d{h(x)}/dx = 0, then

-4x + 20 = 0

Moving 20 to the other side;

-4x = 0-20

-4x = -20

x =-20/-4

x = 5

This shows that the time it takes hovercraft to reach its maximum height is 5seconds

A small aircraft flies a 2160-mi round trip in a 45 mi/h wind. Find the average rate of speed for the trip if the aircraft can f
jok3333 [9.3K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  216 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

The time for the trip with the wind is ...

  (1080 mi)/(225 +45 mi/h) = 4 h

The time for the trip against the wind is ...

  (1080 mi)/(225 -45 mi/h) = 6 h

The average speed for the entire round trip is ...

  (2160 mi)/(4 +6 h) = 216 mi/h

Yuri thinks that 3/4 is a root of the following function. q(x) = 6x3 + 19x2 – 15x – 28 Explain to Yuri why 3/4 cannot be a root.
k0ka [10]

Answer:

Yuri is not correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is q(x) = 6x³ + 19x² - 15x - 28

If 'a' is a root of the given function, then by substituting x = a in the expression, q(a) = 0

Similarly, for x = \frac{3}{4},

q(\frac{3}{4})=6(\frac{3}{4})^3+19(\frac{3}{4})^2-15(\frac{3}{4})-28

       = 6(\frac{27}{64})+19(\frac{9}{16})-15(\frac{3}{4})-28

       = (\frac{162}{64})+(\frac{171}{16})-(\frac{45}{4})-28

       = (\frac{162}{64})+(\frac{684}{64})-(\frac{720}{64})-\frac{1792}{64}

       = -\frac{1666}{64}

       = -\frac{833}{32} ≠ 0

Therefore, Yuri is not correct. x = \frac{3}{4} can not be a root of the given expression.
