<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

<h2><u>Question</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h2>

A fruitseller bought 50kg of the fruits. He sold 30kg of fruits for the cost price of 35kg of fruits and he sold the remaining quantity for the cost Price of 18kg of fruits. calculate his profit or loss percent in the total transaction.

<h2><u>Answer</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h2>

let the cost price be 50x

→he sells 30kg of fruits on it's CP of 35 kg

→CP of 30kg fruits = 30x

→SP of 35kg fruits = 35x

→remaing fruits are 20kg

→he sells 20kg of fruits on CP of 16kg

→CP of 20kg fruits = 20x

→SP of 20kg fruits = 16x

→total CP is = 50x

→total SP is = (35 + 16) = 51x

→SP > CP (it means profit)

→profit = SP-CP

→ 51-50

→ 1

<h2 /><h2><u>Now,</u></h2>

→ Profit% = gain/CP × 100

→ Profit% = 1/50 × 100

→ 2%

Hence the fruit seller had a profit% of 2%.

Answer:

V = 904.32 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a sphere is given by

V = 4/3 pi r^3

The radius is 6 and pi = 3.14

V = 4/3 ( 3.14) (6)^3

V = 904.31999 ft^3

Rounding to the hundredths place

V = 904.32 ft^3
