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

What is x divided by x-1 - 1 divided by 2-2x expessed as a single fraction ?
Kay [80]
To simplify into 1 fraction, remember, we must make the denominator the same
x/ (x-1 )  - 1/ (2-2x)
= -x/ -(1-x) - 1/(2-2x)    [see the similarity now? ]  [whatever we multiply for the denominator, as long as we multiply to the numerator, it will be ok]
= -2x / -(2-2x)    + 1/-(2-2x)
= (-2x+1 )/ -(2-2x)
=(2x-1)/(2-2x)

Determine the location and values of the absolute maximum and absolute minimum for given function : f(x)=(‐x+2)4,where 0&lt;×&lt
brilliants [131]

Answer:

Where 0 < x < 3

The location of the local minimum, is (2, 0)

The location of the local maximum is at (0, 16)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is f(x) = (x + 2)⁴

The range of the minimum = 0 < x < 3

At a local minimum/maximum values, we have;

f'(x) = \dfrac{(-x + 2)^4}{dx}  = -4 \cdot (-x + 2)^3 = 0

∴ (-x + 2)³ = 0

x = 2

f''(x) = \dfrac{ -4 \cdot (-x + 2)^3}{dx}  = -12 \cdot (-x + 2)^2

When x = 2, f''(2) = -12×(-2 + 2)² = 0 which gives a local minimum at x = 2

We have, f(2) = (-2 + 2)⁴ = 0

The location of the local minimum, is (2, 0)

Given that the minimum of the function is at x = 2, and the function is (-x + 2)⁴, the absolute local maximum will be at the maximum value of (-x + 2) for 0 < x < 3

When x = 0, -x + 2 = 0 + 2 = 2

Similarly, we have;

-x + 2 = 1, when x = 1

-x + 2 = 0, when x = 2

-x + 2 = -1, when x = 3

Therefore, the maximum value of -x + 2, is at x = 0 and the maximum value of the function where 0 < x < 3, is (0 + 2)⁴ = 16

The location of the local maximum is at (0, 16).

Find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the given curves about the specified axis. y = 64x−8x^2,
Mandarinka [93]
We need to get the limits first. When y = 0
0 = 64x - 8x^2
x = 0 and x = 8
The volume is
V = ∫ y dx from 0 to 8
V = ∫ (64x - 8x^2) dx from 0 to 8
V = 32x^2 - 8x^3/3 from 0 to 8
V = 682.67<span />

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

The degrees of freedom for this sample are 27.

The sample size to get a margin of error equal or less than 0.3656 is n=4450.

Step-by-step explanation:

The degrees of freedom for calculating the value of t are:

df=n-1=28-1=27

With 27 degrees of freedom and 95% confidence level, from a table we can get that the t-value is t=2.052.

The sample size to get a margin of error equal or less than 0.3656 can be calculated as:

MOE=t\cdot s/\sqrt{n}\\\\n=\left(\dfrac{t\cdot s}{MOE}\right)^2=\left(\dfrac{2.052\cdot 11.8841}{0.3656}\right)^2=66.7^2\\\\\\n=4449.13\approx4450
