Answer:

The maximum height is 784 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we use the kinematic equation of the height h of an object as a function of time

h(t) = -16t ^ 2 + v_0t + h_0

Where v_0 is the initial velocity and h_0 is the initial height.

We know that

v_0 = 192\ \frac{ft}{sec}

h_0 = 208\ ft.

Then the equation of the height is:

h(t) = -16t ^ 2 + 192t +208

For a quadratic function of the form ax ^ 2 + bx + c

where a

the maximum height of the function is at its vertex.

The vertice is

x = -\frac{b}{2a}\\\\y = f(\frac{-b}{2a})

In this case

a = -16\\b = 192\\c = 208

Then the vertice is:

t = -\frac{192}{2(-16)}\\\\t = 6\ sec

Now we calculate h (6)

h(6) = -16(6) ^ 2 +192(6) +208\\\\h(6) = 784\ feet

The maximum height is 784 feet

Is 1/9 >, <, or = {Negative} -4?
kvasek [131]

<u>Answer:</u>

1/9 > -4

because -4 is a negative no less than 0. whereas 1/9 is a positive no greater than 0.

So negative no can't be greater than positive no.
