A toy cannon ball is launched from a cannon on top of a platform. The equation h(t) =- 5<img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=t%5E%7

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Part A)

No

Part B)

About 2.9362 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation $\displaystyle h(t)=-5t^2+14t+2$ models the height h in meters of the ball t seconds after its launch.

Part A)

To determine whether or not the ball reaches a height of 14 meters, we can find the vertex of our function.

Remember that the vertex marks the maximum value of the quadratic (since our quadratic curves down).

If our vertex is greater than 14, then, at some time t, the ball will definitely reach a height of 14 meters.

However, if our vertex is less than 14, then the ball doesn’t reach a height of 14 meters since it can’t go higher than the vertex.

So, let’s find our vertex. The formula for vertex is given by:

$\displaystyle (-\frac{b}{2a},h(-\frac{b}{2a}))$

Our quadratic is:

$\displaystyle h(t)=-5t^2+14t+2$

Hence: a=-5, b=14, and c=2.

Therefore, the x-coordinate of our vertex is:

$\displaystyle x=-\frac{14}{2(-5)}=\frac{14}{10}=\frac{7}{5}$

To find the y-coordinate and the maximum height, we will substitute this value back in for x and evaluate. Hence:

$\displaystyle h(\frac{7}{5})=-5(\frac{7}{5})^2+14(\frac{7}{5})+2$

Evaluate:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} h(\frac{7}{2})&=-5(\frac{49}{25})+\frac{98}{5}+2 \\ &=\frac{-245}{25}+\frac{98}{5}+2\\ &=\frac{-245}{25}+\frac{490}{25}+\frac{50}{25}\\&=\frac{-245+490+50}{25}\\&=\frac{295}{25}=\frac{59}{5}=11.8\end{aligned}$

So, our maximum value is 11.8 meters.

Therefore, the ball doesn’t reach a height of 14 meters.

Part B)

To find out how long the ball is in the air, we can simply solve for our t when h=0.

When the ball stops being in the air, this will be the point at which it is at the ground. So, h=0. Therefore:

$0=-5t^2+14t+2$

A quick check of factors will reveal that is it not factorable. Hence, we can use the quadratic formula:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Again, a=-5, b=14, and c=2. Substitute appropriately:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{-(14)\pm\sqrt{(14)^2-4(-5)(2)}}{2(-5)}$

Evaluate:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{-14\pm\sqrt{236}}{-10}$

We can factor the square root:

$\sqrt{236}=\sqrt{4}\cdot\sqrt{59}=2\sqrt{59}$

Hence:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{-14\pm2\sqrt{59}}{-10}$

Divide everything by -2:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{7\pm\sqrt{59}}{5}$

Hence, our two solutions are:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{7+\sqrt{59}}{5}\approx2.9362\text{ or } x=\frac{7-\sqrt{59}}{5}\approx-0.1362$

Since our variable indicates time, we can reject the negative solution since time cannot be negative.

Hence, our zero is approximately 2.9362.

Therefore, the ball is in the air for approximately 2.9362 seconds.

A box of oat cereal costs $3.90 for 15 ounces. A box of rice of cereal costs $3.30 for 11 ounces. Which box of cereal costs less

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

The cost of per ounce of oat cereal is $0.04 less than per ounce cost of rice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of 15 ounces of oat cereal box = $3.90

Cost of 11 ounces of rice box = $3.30

To compare the unit prices of the the boxes.

Solution:

Using unitary method to find the unit prices:

If 15 ounce of oat box cost =$3.90

∴ 1 ounce of oat cereal would cost = $\$\frac{3.90}{15}=\$0.26$

∴ Per ounce cost of oat cereal = $0.26

If 11 ounce of rice box cost =$3.30

∴ 1 ounce of rice would cost = $\$\frac{3.30}{11}=\$0.3$

∴ Per ounce cost of rice = $0.3

Difference in unit costs of oat and rice = $\$0.3-\$0.26=\$0.04$

On comparing the the unit costs of oats and rice, we find out that the cost of per ounce of oat cereal is $0.04 less than per ounce cost of rice.
