The golfball launched with an initial velocity of 200ft/s will travel the maximum possible distance which is 1250 ft when it is hit at an angle of $\pi/4$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula from the maximum distance of a projectile with initial height h=0, is:

$d(\theta)=\frac{v_i^2sin(2\theta)}{g}$

Where $v_i$ is the initial velocity.

In the closed interval method, the first step is to find the values of the function in the critical points in the interval which is $[0, \pi/2]$ . The critical points of the function are those who make $d'(\theta)=0$ :

$d(\theta)=\frac{v_i^2\sin(2\theta)}{g}\\d'(\theta)=\frac{v_i^2\cos(2\theta)}{g}*(2)\\d'(\theta)=\frac{2v_i^2\cos(2\theta)}{g}$

$d'(\theta)=0\\\frac{2v_i^2\cos(2\theta)}{g}=0\\\cos(2\theta)=0\\2\theta=\pi/2,3\pi/2,5\pi/2,...\\\theta=\pi/4,3\pi/4,5\pi/4,...$

The critical value inside the interval is $\pi/4$ .

$d(\theta)=\frac{v_i^2sin(2\theta)}{g}\\d(\pi/4)=\frac{v_i^2sin(2(\pi/4))}{g}\\d(\pi/4)=\frac{v_i^2sin(\pi/2)}{g}\\d(\pi/4)=\frac{v_i^2(1)}{g}\\d(\pi/4)=\frac{(200)^2}{32}\\d(\pi/4)=\frac{40000}{32}\\d(\pi/4)=1250ft$

The second step is to find the values of the function at the endpoints of the interval:

$d(\theta)=\frac{v_i^2sin(2\theta)}{g}\\\theta=0\\d(0)=\frac{v_i^2sin(2(0))}{g}\\d(0)=\frac{v_i^2(0)}{g}=0ft\\\theta=\pi/2\\d(\pi/2)=\frac{v_i^2sin(2(\pi/2))}{g}\\d(\pi/2)=\frac{v_i^2sin(\pi)}{g}\\d(\pi/2)=\frac{v_i^2(0)}{g}=0ft$

The biggest value of f is gived by $\pi/4$ , therefore $\pi/4$ is the absolute maximum.

In the context of the problem, the golfball launched with an initial velocity of 200ft/s will travel the maximum possible distance which is 1250 ft when it is hit at an angle of $\pi/4$ .

What is the slope that passes through the lines (2.1,-4.2) and (2.5,-5)

Usimov [2.4K]

slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (-5--4.2) /(2.5 -2.1)

(-5+4.2)/(2.5-2.1)

=-.8/.4

m=-2

the slope is -2

Simplify the expression:<br> 3x4-8d+1

svetlana [45]

Answer:

-8d+13

Step-by-step explanation:

Add and Multiply all of the numbers without variables:

3x4+1

Use PEMDAS to solve (Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction):

3x4=12

12+1=13

Now you have your answer:

-8d+13
