An object is launched from a launching pad 208 ft. above the ground at a velocity of 192ft/sec. what is the maximum height reach

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

h(x) = -16x² + 192x + 208

784ft

6 sec

13 sec

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x) = -16x² +vx + h $_{o}$

here v represent velocity

$h_{o}$ represent initial height of launch

h(x) = -16x² + 192x + 208

here a = -16

b = 192

c = 208

x = -b/2a

= -192/2(-16)

= 6

plug this value in the equation

h(x) = -16(6)² + 192(6) + 208

= 784ft

Plug h(x)=0 in the equation

0 = -16x² + 192x + 208

divide equation by -16

x² - 12x - 13 = 0

Factors

1x * -13x = -13

1x - 13x = -12

Factorised form

x² - 12x - 13 = 0

x² + x - 13x - 13 = 0

x(x+1) -13(x+1) = 0

(x+1)(x-13) = 0

x = -1

x = 13

Since time can not be negative so we will reject x = -1

A person gets on a Ferris wheel at the starting point. The starting point is 15 feet off the ground. The Ferris wheel has a radi

lisov135 [29]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

$\boxed{\frac{25}{2}(\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2})+65}$

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The height of the rider from the ground after the Ferris wheel equals the starting point is 15 feet off the ground plus the radius of the Ferris wheel plus the opposite side of the triangle ΔABC (See figure below). Hence our goal is to find this side. We have the angle $11\pi /2=165^{\circ}$ , therefore the angle ∠BAC = 165° - 90° = 75°. So this side can be found using trigonometry:
