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

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

there is insufficient evidence to support the claim that more than 10% of the employees are paid minimum wage.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

A marketing organization claims that more than 10% of its employees are paid minimum wage.

The null hypothesis is:

H_o : p = 10

The alternative hypothesis is:

H_1 : p > 10

If a hypothesis test is performed that fails to reject the null hypothesis, how would this decision be interpreted

i.e Decision Rule: fails to reject the null hypothesis

Then the interpretation of the decision is that, there is insufficient evidence to support the claim that more than 10% of the employees are paid minimum wage.
