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

7x + 2y=24<br> 8x + 2y=30
Bumek [7]

Answer:

x=6 y=-9

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Layer the equations on each other as you would in a subtraction problem:

               8x + 2y=30

               7x + 2y=24  

  • Subtract the equation just like you would normally. This should leave 1x=6 or x=6.
  • Now that you have your x value, plug it in as x for one of the equations. For the 2nd equation, this leaves:

               42+2y=24 then

               2y=-18 then

               y=-9

  • Double check your y value by plugging x=6 into the first equation. This should also leave y=-9.

Tamika went hiking with her friends. The beginning of -1 feet. The highest elevation on hiking path is 100 feet. What is the dif
const2013 [10]

hello!

so the difference is 101 and here is why!

you want to minus -1 from 100

100 - (-1)

but because it is a double negative it will become addition

100 + 1

so the difference is 101 feet

i hope this helped :)

Calculate the percent change if a city that used to produce 2050 kilowatt hours has reduced their consumption to 1125 kilowatt h
Crazy boy [7]

The percent change if a city that used to produce 2050 kilowatt hours has reduced their consumption to 1125 kilowatt hours is 45.122% decrease.

<h3>What is percentage change?</h3>

Percent increase and percent decrease are measures of percent change, which is the extent to which a variable gains or loses intensity, magnitude, extent, or value.

we know,

% change = (final- initial) / initial * 100

=(1125-2050)/1125 *100

=45.122%

Hence, percentage change be 45.122% decrease.
