object is 150 feet.

If you've started pre-calculus, then you know that the derivative of  h(t)
is zero where h(t)  is maximum.

The derivative is            h'(t) = -32 t  +  96 .

At the maximum ...        h'(t) = 0

                                       32 t = 96 sec

                                           t  =  3 sec . 
___________________________________________

If you haven't had any calculus yet, then you don't know how to
take a derivative, and you don't know what it's good for anyway.

In that case, the question GIVES you the maximum height.
Just write it in place of  h(t), then solve the quadratic equation
and find out what  't'  must be at that height.

                                       150 ft = -16 t²  +  96  t  +  6 

Subtract 150ft from each side:    -16t²  +  96t  -  144  =  0 .

Before you attack that, you can divide each side by  -16,
making it a lot easier to handle:

                                                         t²  -  6t  +  9  =  0

I'm sure you can run with that equation now and solve it.    
The solution is the time after launch when the object reaches 150 ft.
It's 3 seconds.  
(Funny how the two widely different methods lead to the same answer.)

The answer is from AL2006

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Well here's the issue...

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have no idea what car you'll be using for the experiment, I can't tell you how many times you will have to fill er' up either. let's say you have a fuel efficient car like 27 mpg. that's highway and city combined. (34/25) And the trip is 216 miles round trip. And let's say you used 0 gallons while you were there. You would need to fill up exactly 8 times to get there and back. That's going off of 27 miles per gallon.

Hope this helps!!

yanalaym [24]

Answer: 0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Sampling error is the error occurs by considering sample for study instead of entire population.

Given : The proportion of items in a population that possess a specific attribute is known to be 0.45.

Sample size : n= 100

Sample proportion of items in a population that possess a specific attribute : \hat{p}=0.48

Now, the formula to find the sampling error :

\text{Sampling error} =\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}

\text{Sampling error} =\sqrt{\dfrac{0.48(1-0.48)}{100}}

=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.48(0.52)}{100}}\\\\=\sqrt{0.002496}\approx0.05

Hence, the sampling​ error =0.05
