Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

5y=6x+16...(I) and 9x=7y-20....(ii)

Using substitution method:

Multiply equation ii by 5

45x=35y-100

Substitute (I) into ii

45x=7 * 5y - 20

45x=7(6x+16)

45x=42x+112

45x-42x=112

3x=112......…….......

5y=6x+16

5y=2*3x+16

5y=2*112+16

5y=224+16

5y=240

Divide both sides by 5

y=48

3x-2y

112-2*48

112-96

16

A ball is thrown vertically upward. After t seconds, its height h (in feet) is given by the function h(t) = 52t - 16t^2 . What i
Nata [24]

Answer: 42.25 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that after "t" seconds, its height "h" in feet is given by this function:

h(t) = 52t -16t^2

The maximum height is the y-coordinate of the vertex of the parabola. Then, we can use the following formula to find the corresponding value of "t" (which is the x-coordinate of the vertex):

x=t=\frac{-b}{2a}

In this case:

a=-16\\b=52

Substituting values, we get :

t=\frac{-52}{2(-16)}\\\\t=1.625

Substituting this value into the function to find the maximum height the ball will reach, we get:

h(1.625) = 52(1.625) -16(1.625)^2\\\\h(1.625) =42.25\ ft
