Answer:

3 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find where the maximum i.  The maximum or minimum  is at the vertex.  We know where the zero are because the equation is written in the zero form

We know the vertex is 1/2 way between the zeros

h(x)=-(x+1)(x-7)

Using the zero product property

x+1 = 0  x-7 =0

The zeros are at -1 and 7

Adding the two together and dividing by 2

(-1+7)/2 = 6/2 =3

The maximum is at 3.  We know it is the maximum because the equation is pointing down because of the negative out front.

When we graph the function, it has a vertex of (3, 16).

The maximum of the graph is the highest "x" value on the graph which is 3.

Since the maximum is 3, it will take 3 seconds for the ball to reach its maximum height.

A graph will be shown below showing the function and vertex.

Best of Luck!

The foot of a ladder is placed 7 meters from a wall. If the top of the ladder rests 9 meters up on the wall, how long is the lad
nekit [7.7K]

We can find the length of the ladder by squaring the known digits, adding them, and finding the square root of the sum. This would mean our first equation, after squaring, will look like this:

49+81=130

Now that we have <em>c</em> squared, we can go through and find the approximate square root, which is 11.4. That would mean the ladder is 11.4 meters long.

Volume of right trapezoid cylindar whole bases are B 16m, b 8m, height is 4m and length is 32m
viktelen [127]

Answer:

volume = 1536 m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

given data;

B = 16m

b =8 m

height   H = 4 m

length  L = 32 m

volume of any right cylinder = (Area of bottom) \times (length)

Volume = A* L

The area of a trapezoid is

A=\frac{1}{2} H*(b+B)

A =\frac{1}{2} 4*(8+16)

A = 48 m^2

therefore volume is given as  

volume = 48*32

volume = 1536 m^3

How do you solve for the area for a complex figure
Dmitriy789 [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

It varies depending on the structure of the figure your taling about. If it is a bunch of squares or rectangles, you get the perimeter of all sides and then you try to make the figure into smaller squares or rectangles. After that now find the perimeter of the new side (opposit side should tell you) and then find the area for all the rectangles and squares. After that step, you add all the areas together and...viola!!!! You get the area of the complex figure. If it is not a rectangle please comment with the object and I could help you.
