A basketball is thrown upwards. The height f(t), in feet, of the basketball at time t, in seconds, is given by the following fun

ction:
f(t) = −16t2 + 94t + 12

Which of the following is a reasonable domain of the graph of the function when the basketball falls from its maximum height to the ground?

2.9375 < t < 6
2 < t < 5
1 < t < 4
0 < t < 3

Answer:

Well I think it is A because domain is the x values.

Step-by-step explanation:

So when you plug this in your calculator (mine is a ti-84 plus ce) you would hit graph. After it graphs it press Zoom, 0 to center it then press 2nd, trace which pulls up parabola menu's. Press 0 and find the left bound, right bound and then press enter which would give you x values of 2.9375 < t< 6

At the same time I don't know if this is right. I never really excelled at parabolas just trying to help.

Check the picture below.

so the domain will be the values that "x" gets, now, the maximum height of the ball is when it reaches the vertex or U-turn up above, well, what is the x-coordinate anyway?

\bf \textit{vertex of a vertical parabola, using coefficients} \\\\ f(t)=\stackrel{\stackrel{a}{\downarrow }}{-16}t^2\stackrel{\stackrel{b}{\downarrow }}{+94}t\stackrel{\stackrel{c}{\downarrow }}{+12} \qquad \qquad \left(-\cfrac{ b}{2 a}~~~~ ,~~~~ c-\cfrac{ b^2}{4 a}\right) \\\\\\ \left( -\cfrac{94}{2(-16),}\qquad \qquad \right)\implies \left( \cfrac{487}{16},\qquad \qquad \right)\implies (2.9375,\qquad \qquad )

so then x = 2.9375 at the vertex, now, what is "x" when it hits the ground? recall y = 0 at that instant.

\bf \stackrel{f(t)}{0}=-16t^2+94t+12\implies 0=-2(8t^2-47t-6) \\\\\\ 0=(8t+1)(t-6)\implies t= \begin{cases} \boxed{6}\\ \begin{matrix} -\frac{1}{8} \\[-0.5em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix} \end{cases}

so then, the values for "x" or namely the domain from the vertex till the ball hits the ground is 2.9375 < t < 6.

insens350 [35]

Answer:

104°

Step-by-step explanation:

let the second angle be x , then

the first angle is x + 24

the third angle is 4x , thus summing and equating to 180

x + x + 24 + 4x = 180, that is

6x + 24 = 180 ( subtract 24 from both sides )

6x = 156 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 26

Thus largest angle = 4x = 4 × 26 = 104°

I need to know what the value is for x
hoa [83]
4/6 = x + 3/ 12 - x
4( 12 - x) = 6( x + 3)
48 - 4x = 6x + 18
-4x - 6x = 18 - 48
- 10x = -30
x = 3
