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.)

laila [671]

Answer: $4850

Step-by-step explanation:

The other information related to the question is:

Direct materials = $3.50

Direct labor = $1.10

Variable overhead = $0.45

Fixed overhead = $2.80

Total = $7.85

Based on the information given in the question, the increase in the profit will be calculated as the contribution from the 3000 extra units minus the worker's salary.

Contribution from 3000 units will be:

= (Selling price - Direct materials - Direct labor - Variable overhead) × 3000

= ($25 - $3.50 - $1.10 - $0.45) × 3000

= $19.95 × 3000

= $59850

Increase on Profit:

= $59850 - $55000

= $4850
