Answer:</h3>
4. -3
5. 3
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
4. For x > -2, the value of a is the slope of the line. The line goes down 3 units for each 1 to the right, so the slope is -3/1 = -3. Then a = -3.
___
5. The ordered pair (h, k) is typically used to name the point to which a function is translated. The vertex of the function f(x) = |x| is (0, 0). When it is translated to (h, k), the function becomes ...
... q(x) = |x -h| +k
If the new vertex is (3, 0), then h = 3 and k = 0. This is consistent with the equation shown. (k = 0 means q(x) = |x -h|.)
This can solved graphically, using algebraic manipulation or differential calculus.
Plotting the equation will generate a parabola. The vertex represents the point where the ball will reach the maximum height.
The vertex can be determined by completing the square
h = -16t2 + 45t + 5
h - 5 = -16(t2 - 45/16t)
h - 5 - 2025/64 = -16(t2 - 45/16t + 2025/1024)
(-1/16)(h - 2345/64) = (t - 45/32)^2
The vertex is
(45/32,2345/64) or (1.41,36.64)
The maximum height is 36.64 ft
Using calculus, taking the first derivative of the equation and equating to 0
dh/dt = 0 = -32t + 45
t = 45/32
Substituting this value to the equation
h = -16(45/32)^2 + 45(45/32) + 5
h = 36.64 ft
