PART A

The given equation is

h(t) = - 16 {t}^{2} + 40t + 4

In order to find the maximum height, we write the function in the vertex form.

We factor -16 out of the first two terms to get,

h(t) = - 16 ({t}^{2} - \frac{5}{2} t) + 4

We add and subtract

- 16(- \frac{5}{4} )^{2}

to get,

h(t) = - 16 ({t}^{2} - \frac{5}{2} t) + - 16( - \frac{5}{4})^{2} - -16( - \frac{5}{4})^{2} + 4

We again factor -16 out of the first two terms to get,

h(t) = - 16 ({t}^{2} - \frac{5}{2} t + ( - \frac{5}{4})^{2} ) - -16( - \frac{5}{4})^{2} + 4

This implies that,

h(t) = - 16 ({t}^{2} - \frac{5}{2} t + ( - \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} ) + 16( \frac{25}{16}) + 4

The quadratic trinomial above is a perfect square.

h(t) = - 16 ( t- \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} +25+ 4

This finally simplifies to,

h(t) = - 16 ( t- \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} +29

The vertex of this function is

V( \frac{5}{4} ,29)

The y-value of the vertex is the maximum value.

Therefore the maximum value is,

29

PART B

When the ball hits the ground,

h(t) = 0

This implies that,

- 16 ( t- \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} +29 = 0

We add -29 to both sides to get,

- 16 ( t- \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} = - 29

This implies that,

( t- \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} = \frac{29}{16}

t- \frac{5}{4} = \pm \sqrt{ \frac{29}{16} }

t = \frac{5}{4} \pm \frac{ \sqrt{29} }{4}

t = \frac{ 5 + \sqrt{29} }{4} = 2.60

or

t = \frac{ 5 - \sqrt{29} }{4} = - 0.10

Since time cannot be negative, we discard the negative value and pick,

t = 2.60s

The graph to answer the question and the answer choices.
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

  y ≥ 3x -1; x +3y ≤ 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Both lines are solid, so the only viable choices are those with "or equal to" in the comparison operators: the 2nd and 4th choices.

The line with a slope of +3 is shaded <u><em>above</em></u> the line, so that will correspond to the inequality ...

  y ≥ 3x -1 . . . . . . . . . . found only in the 4th choice.
