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

Graph the linear function w(x)=3/5x+2<br> All I need is the ordered pairs/points
Anastaziya [24]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (0, 2), (5, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The w-intercept is the constant in the equation, so you know immediately that (x, w) = (0, 2) is one point on your graph.

Since the value of x is being multiplied by 3/5, it is convenient to choose an x-value that is a multiple of 5. When x=5, we have ...

  w(5) = (3/5)(5) +2 = 3+2 = 5

So, (x, w) = (5, 5) is another point on your graph.
