One other way to solve this question is finding the derivative

h=-2x^2+12x-10

h'=-4x+12

now we have to find when this function will be zero

-4x+12=0

\boxed{\boxed{x=3}}

now we just replace this value at our initial function

h=-2x^2+12x-10

h_{max}=-2*(3)^2+12*3-10

h_{max}=-18+36-10

\boxed{\boxed{h_{max}=8}}

The maximum height is the ordinate value of the vertex of the parabola, ie: yV

Calculating yV:

y_V=\frac{-\Delta}{4a}\\
\\
y_V=-[\frac{12^2-4*(-2)*(-10)]}{4*(-2)}=\frac{-(144-80)}{-8}=\frac{-64}{-8}=8

Step-by-step explanation:

1.98892 x 1000000000000000 (15 zeros)

The upper number (in this case 15) indicates the amount of zeros after the 1 (10 is 10^1, 100 is 10^2)

the angle theta is located in quadrant 1 and cos of theta is 3/8. what is the value of sin of theta ?
ra1l [238]

Answer: sin of theta = (√55)/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Cosine is the x-value divided by the hypotenuse. We now know that since cosine is 3/8, that the hypotenuse is 8. In order to find the third side of the triangle (which would be the v-value), we must use Pythagorean theorem. The third side is square root 55. Sine equals the y-value divides by the hypotenuse. We know both of those values, so Sine of theta = square root of 55 divided by 8.
