Answer:
5 1/16 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
h(t) = -16t(t -18/16) . . . . put in intercept form
The function describes a parabola that opens downward. It has zeros at t=0 and t=9/8. The maximum height will be found at the vertex of the parabola, halfway between these zeros.
f(9/16) = (-16)(9/16)² +18(9/16) = 81/16 = 5 1/16 . . . . feet
The approximate maximum height of the leopard is 5 1/16 feet.
Answer:
The population will reach 34,200 in February of 2146.
Step-by-step explanation:
Population in t years after 2012 is given by:

In what month and year will the population reach 34,200?
We have to find t for which P(t) = 34200. So



Solving a quadratic equation:
Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:
.
This polynomial has roots
such that
, given by the following formulas:



In this question:

So 
Then



We only take the positive value.
134 years after 2012.
.14 of an year is 0.14*365 = 51.1. The 51st day of a year happens in February.
So the population will reach 34,200 in February of 2146.
