A video game uses the quadratic equation h equals space minus 16 t to the power of 2 space end exponent plus space 64 t space pl
stellarik [79]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

h varies as

h=-16t^2+64t+190

Above h represents the height of object at any instant t

For example at t=0

h=190 ft

At t=1 s

h=-16+64+190=238 ft

For maximum height differentiate h w.r.t time

\frac{\mathrm{d} h}{\mathrm{d} t}=-16\times 2\times t+64

Put \frac{\mathrm{d} h}{\mathrm{d} t}=0 to get maximum height

-32t+64=0

t=2 i.e. at t= 2 s h is maximum

h at t=2 s

h=-16\times 2^2+64\times 2+190=254 m

20 pieces of tape.

Answer:

70% (Sorry, had to use the word "com" instead...)

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking what percent of students who graduated one of these three schools, graduated from either com laude or magna com laude. You need a total of how many students graduated com laude and how many from magna com laude. 4 graduated from magna com laude, and 10 graduated from com laude. That's 14. Now we need a total of how many students graduated in total. 14 graduated from com laude or magna com laude, and 6 graduated from summa com laude for a total of 20 who graduated. So you just need to do 14 divided by 20, and you'll get the decimal from which you can get a percent. 14 divided by 20 is 0.7. So, that's 70%. 70% of students who graduated, graduated from Magna com laude or Com laude.
