The function h(t) = –16t2 + 96t + 6 represents an object projected into the air from a cannon. The maximum height reached by the

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

Solve: 2cos(x)-square root 3=0 for 0 less than x less than 2 pi
Leona [35]

Answer:

The general solution of   cos x = cos(\frac{\pi }{6})   is  

                                                x = 2nπ±\frac{\pi }{6}

The general solution values  

                                 x = - \frac{\pi }{6}  and x = \frac{\pi }{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

Given equation is  

                              2cosx-\sqrt{3} =0  for 0

                              2cosx =\sqrt{3}

Dividing '2' on both sides, we get

                             cos x =\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}

                             cos x = cos(\frac{\pi }{6})

<em>General solution of cos θ = cos ∝ is θ = 2nπ±∝</em>

<em>Now The general solution of   </em>cos x = cos(\frac{\pi }{6})<em>   is  </em>

<em>                                                 x = 2nπ±</em>\frac{\pi }{6}<em></em>

put n=0

x = - \frac{\pi }{6}  and x = \frac{\pi }{6}

Put n=1  

x = 2\pi +\frac{\pi }{6} = \frac{13\pi }{6}

x = 2\pi -\frac{\pi }{6} = \frac{11\pi }{6}

put n=2

x = 4\pi +\frac{\pi }{6} = \frac{25\pi }{6}

x = 4\pi -\frac{\pi }{6} = \frac{23\pi }{6}

And so on

But given 0 < x< 2π

The general solution values  

                                 x = - \frac{\pi }{6}  and x = \frac{\pi }{6}

The length of two sides of a triangle are 10, 15 find the range of possible lengths for the third side
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Range for third side is  

( 5 , 25 )  cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

As two sides of triangle are  10  and  15 ,

the third side would have to be less than the sum of other two sides i.e. less than  25  cm.

On the other hand if it is smaller one than this side plus side of length  10

should be greater than  15  and therefore

this side is greater than  15 − 10 = 5  cm.

Hence range is  

( 5 , 25 )

Hope this answer helps you :)

Have a great day

Sketch the graph of y = negative 2 x squared + x + 1 using your graphing calculator. What are the x-intercepts of this graph? a.
lions [1.4K]

The x-intercept is (1, 0) and (-0.5, 0).

The correct option is (a)

<h3>What is intercept?</h3>

The x-intercept is the point where a line crosses the x-axis, and the y-intercept is the point where a line crosses the y-axis.

Given function is:

f(x)= -2x^{2}+x+1

So, The graph of this equation is attaches below.

The x- intercepts of this graph

\mathrm{X\:Intercepts}:\:\left(-\frac{1}{2},\:0\right),\:\left(1,\:0\right)

or

X intercepts: (1, 0) and (-0.5, 0)

Hence, the x-intercept is (1, 0) and (-0.5, 0).
