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!

What is the answer? -9=3+6x
HACTEHA [7]
Use inverse operations and subtract 3 from 9 which is -12 then divide -12 by 6 which is -2
-9=3+6x
-3 -3
-12=6x
-12/6=6x/6
-2=x

Which function does the graph represent? f(x) = log(x + 3) + 1 f(x) = log(x + 1) + 3 f(x) = log(x + 1) – 3 f(x) = log(x – 3) + 1
Anettt [7]
It'd be a lot easier to help you if you'd share the answer graphs.

Just so that you know:

<span>f(x) = log(x + 3) + 1 can be graphed as follows:
</span>
1.  Graph y = log x.  This function's domain is x>0.  It begins in Quadrant IV and ends in Quadrant I.  It intercepts the x-axis at (1,0).

2.  Now move the entire graph 1 unit to the left.  This gives you the graph of y = log (x+1).

3.  Now translate this entire graph up 3 units.  This gives you the graph of <span>f(x) = log(x + 3) + 1.</span>

The cone and cylinder above have the same radius and height. The volume of the cylinder is 63cm. What is the volume of the cone?
Sonbull [250]

V( cone ) = 21 cm³

note Vof cone = \frac{1}{3} V of cylinder

V ( cone ) = \frac{1}{3} × 63 = 21 cm³
