In this problem, we don't need to come up with an equation anymore because it is already given. The speed and the length of the platform is already incorporated in the equation:

f(t) = 16t² +32t + 4

Now, we apply the concepts learned in Calculus. To find the maxima or minima of the function, you find the first derivative of the equation and equate it to zero. Using the formulas essential in differentiation, the derived form is

f'(t) = -32t + 32 = 0

Simplifying the equation:

-32(t-1) = 0
t - 1 = 0
t = 1

Since f(t) represents the distance, let's substitute t=-1 to the original equation to determine the maximum height:

f(-1) = -16(1)² +32(1) + 4 = 20 


That means that the maximum height is 20 feet.

A company uses the declining-balance method of calculating depreciation expense. On January 1, the company buys machinery for $7
NeX [460]

Answer:

$516,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- Beginning boo value of asset A = $750,000

- The salvage value of the asset B = $100,000

- The estimated life of asset t = 10 years

Find:

What is the book value in year 3?

Solution:

- Under the declining balance method, double declining method depreciation rate (R) is calculated by:

                                  R = 1 / t

                                  R = 1 / 10 = 10%

- The accumulated depreciation for 3 years is as follows:

                                 Depreciation: ( A - B ) * R * 2

                 Year 1:     DDB = ( 750,000 - 100,000 ) * 0.2 = $130,000

                 Year 2:    DDB = ( 620,000 - 100,000)*0.2 = $104,000

- The book value in year 3 is:

                                 $ 620,000 - $104,200 = $516,000

Dale keeps all of his pairs of shoes in his closet. select the number of shoes that deal could have in his closet. Mark all that
bekas [8.4K]
As it says he keeps 'pairs' of shoes so the answer has to be an even 'number' - ie B, C and E are all possible answers.
