Answer:

- time = 1second

- maximum height = 16m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the height of a pumpkin t seconds after it is launched from a catapult modelled by the equation

f(t)=-16t²+32t... (1)

The pumpkin reaches its maximum height when the velocity is zero.

Velocity = {d(f(x)}/dt = -32t+32

Since v = 0m/s (at maximum height)

-32t+32 = 0

-32t = -32

t = -32/-32

t = 1sec

The pumpkin reaches its maximum height after 1second.

Maximum height of the pumpkin is gotten by substituting t = 1sec into equation (1)

f(1) = -16(1)²+32(1)

f(1) = -16+32

f(1) = 16m

The maximum height of the pumpkin is 16m

Which value of x makes the equation -5(x-3)=-25

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(x-3)=-25

Divide each side by -5

-5/-5(x-3)=-25/-5

x-3 = 5

Add 3 to each side

x-3+3 = 5+3

x = 8

Answer:

a) Yes, HL

Step-by-step explanation:

$We\ know\ that:\\Both\ triangles\ are\ right\ triangles. (90\ degree)\\They\ share\ a\ common\ side.\\They\ have\ their\ hypotenuses\ corresponding.\\Hence,\\Through\ HL(If\ the\ hypotenuse\ and\ any\ leg\ of\ the\ triangles\ are\ corresponding,$ $then,\ the\ two\ triangles\ are\ congruent.)$

$We\ can\ hence,\ conclude\ that\ the\ given\ triangles\ are\ congruent.$

Find the measures of the interior angles of the triangle.

jeka94

Answer:

∠A = 30°

∠B = 60°

∠C= 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle, you can see it mainly by the red square in C, and it is always used to mark 90 degrees.

Knowing that, you now know ∠C is 90°

Now, to find ∠B, you should use the following equation:

A+B+C = 180°

This means that the sum of the three angles of a triangle gives 180. ALWAYS. So to find the missing angle, ∠B, do the following:

Fill the values of the equation with the angles you now know:

30° + B + 90° = 180

Solve the equation, passing the 30° and 90° to the other side of the equal sing with Inverse Operation:

B = 180° - 30° - 90°

B = 60

Hope it helps!!
