In this problem we have a pumpkin is launched from the top of a 20 foot tall platform at an initial velocity of 84 feet per second. So the height, h, of the pumpkin at time t seconds after the launch can be modeled by the equation:
So this is the equation of a parabola. The maximum of this parabola occurs at its vertex. So let's find this vertex:
Finally, the maximum occurs at time 2.625 seconds when the height is 130.25m
Given:
A sum of money is divided between A,B and C in the ratio 9:8:7.
Total sum is 480.
To find:
The part of money A get.
Solution:
Let A, B and C get 9x, 8x and 7x respectively.
Total sum is 480.
Divide both sides by 24.
Now,
Therefore, amount received by A is 180.
