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 22% reduced as a fraction ??
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

11/50

Step-by-step explanation:

22% is 22/100

So, divide 22/100 by 2 to get 11/50, which cannot be simplified any further.

I need help with these three questions (please help me turn them into algebraic form) Thanks!
Ann [662]
The quotient means divide.....the difference means subtract
the quotient of 5 and the difference of a number and 3..
5 / (x - 3) <== ur expression

the product means multiply....decreased means subtract
the product of a number and 20 decreased by 11..
20x - 11 <== ur expression

the difference means subtract 
the difference of 30 and a number, multiplied by 2
2(30 - x) <== ur expression
