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

Sedbober [7]

Hey there!

(15+12)(2)+ 310(5)

= 27(2) + 310(5)

= 54 + 1,550

= 1,604

Therefore, your answer is should be: 1,604

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

0= 8-2x divided by 5
Stells [14]

Answer:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

0= 8− \frac{2x}{5}

0 = 8 + \frac{-2}{5}x

0 = \frac{-2}{5}x+8

Step 2: Flip the equation.

\frac{-2}{5} x + 8=0

Step 3: Subtract 8 from both sides.

\frac{-2}{5} x+8-8=0-8

\frac{-2}{5} x=-8

Step 4: Multiply both sides by 5/(-2).

(\frac{5}{-2} ) *( \frac{-2}{5} x) = (\frac{5}{-2} )*(-8)

<h2>Therefor, the answer is x=20</h2><h2 />

* Hopefully this helps. Mark me the brainliest:)!!!

sveta [45]

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

  • 2x^2 + 3 = 5
  • 2x^2 = 5 - 3
  • 2x^2 = 2
  • x^2 = 2/2
  • x = \| 1
  • x = 1
