A hovercraft takes off from a platform. Its height (in meters), xx seconds after takeoff, is modeled by: h(x)=-2x^2+20x+48h(x)=?
2x 2 +20x+48 How many seconds after takeoff will the hovercraft reach its maximum height?
2 answers:
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 = 
= 
= 
= 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

Yo please take the full picture the question is cut off
Yes, because similar means same shape same angles different size!!
First plug in the numbers 5 x 8 = 40
40-4y+6x8=48
40-4y+48
Answer:
4x is the answer
