<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In this problem we have a pumpkin is launched from the top of a 20 foot tall platform at an initial velocity of 84 feet per second. So the height, h, of the pumpkin at time t seconds after the launch can be modeled by the equation:

h(t) = -16t^2 + 84t + 20

So this is the equation of a parabola. The maximum of this parabola occurs at its vertex. So let's find this vertex:

\text{The x-value of the vertex is}: \\ \\ t=-\frac{b}{2a} \\ \\ \\ Where: \\ \\ a=-16 \\ \\ b=84 \\ \\ c=20 \\ \\ \\ t=-\frac{84}{2(-16)} \\ \\ t=-\frac{84}{-32} \\ \\ t=\frac{21}{8}=2.625 \\ \\ h(2.625)=-16(2.625)^2+84(2.625)+20 \\ \\ h(2.625)=-110.25+220.5+20 \\ \\ h(2.625)=130.25m

Finally, the maximum occurs at time 2.625 seconds when the height is 130.25m

2.In quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0, if discriminant is D= b2 - 4ac, then roots of the quadratic equation are
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

(2) Real and equal (i.e., repeated roots), if D = 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

.In a quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0, if discriminant is D= b2 - 4ac, then roots of the quadratic equation are

Real and equal (i.e., repeated roots), if D = 0.

If the D > b² - 4ac then it's real and distinct.

A circular plate has a radius of 13 centimeters.
butalik [34]
To solve the problem, we need to get the formula for area of a circle -
Area   = pi * r^2; r= radius
           = 3.14 * (13cm)^2
           = 3.14 * 169cm^2 or 3.14 * 13^2cm^2
           = 530.66cm^2
Therefore, the area of the circular plate is 530.66cm^2
