Hello, First of all, you have to order the number from least to greatest: 7,6,12,19,6,13,16,20,9
6,6,7,9,12,13,16,19,20
We see that there are total 9 numbers. Median means that the middle number, so we separate 4 numbers into two groups 6,6,7,9 13,16,19,20. Now,we see that there is only one number which is 12. As a result, the median is 12. Hope it help!
1. The function is a parabola of the form . The the formula for the axis of symmetry of a parabola is . We can infer from our function that and , so lets replace those values in our formula:
We can conclude that to the left of the line of symmetry the ball is reaching its maximum height, and to the right of the line of symmetry the ball is falling.
2. Lets check how much time the ball takes to reach its maximum height and return to the ground. To do that we are going to set the height equal to zero:
or or From our previous point we know that the ball reaches its maximum time at , which means that <span>it takes 1.5 seconds to reach the maximum height and 1.5 seconds to fall back to the ground.</span>
