During halftime of a soccer ​game, a sling shot launches​ T-shirts at the crowd. A​ T-shirt is launched from a height of 4 feet

with an initial upward velocity of 64 feet per second. The​ T-shirt is caught 39 feet above the field. How long will it take the​ T-shirt to reach its maximum​ height? What is the maximum​ height? What is the range of the function that models the height of the​ T-shirt over​ time?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are dealing with the "american" measure of feet, so the pull of gravity that we need is -16t^2.  The quadratic that models this, in standard form, is

s(t)=-16t^2+v_{0}t+h_{0}

where v0 is the initial vertical velocity (64) and h0 is the initial height (4).  Filling that standard position function in with our stuff gives us:

s(t)=-16t^2+64t+4

We are asked how long it will take for the object to reach its max height, then of course we are asked what the max height is (of course!).  I am going to use calculus here since it's the easiest way to go.  The first derivative of the position function is the velocity function.  

v(t) = -32t + 64

You should know at this point from either algebra 2 or physics or calculus that an object has no velocity at its max height because it has to stop in the air in order to turn around and head back down.  So we will set the velocity function equal to 0 and solve for how long it takes to reach that max height.

0 = -32(t - 2) so

t = 2 seconds, which answers the first question.  If it takes 2 seconds to reach its max height, we can sub in 2 for t in the position function to find the object's position at 2 seconds.  This will be the max height.

s(2)=-16(2)^2+64(2)+4 so

s(2) = 68 feet.  The max height is 68 feet, which answers the seconds question.

As far as the range goes, the position function is an upside down parabola with a max height of 68.  So the range, if I'm understanding what is being asked, is y | y ≤ 68

A LARGE RECTANGULAR POSTER IS 3 TIMES AS LONG AND 3 TIMES AS WIDE AS A SMALL RECTANGULA POSTER. THE SMALL POSTER IS 3 FEET LONG
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

the Larger poster is 9ft long by 6ft wide

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the length and width values of the large poster we first need to find the width of the smaller poster since we are already given the length. Since we are also provided with the perimeter we can add the length twice and subtract it from the perimeter which would give us the value of both width sides of the rectangle, then we simply divide by 2 to get the value of the individual width.

10ft = 3ft + 3ft + w + w

10ft = 6ft + 2w

4ft = 2w

2ft = w

Since the larger poster is 3 times as big for the length and the width we simply multiply the smaller poster's length and width by 3...

L = 3 * 3 = 9ft

W = 2 * 3 = 6ft

Finally, we can see that the Larger poster is 9ft long by 6ft wide

How you would estimate to subtract 189 from 643
sleet_krkn [62]
Estimate 189 to the nearest tenth which would be 190. And then do the same for 643 which would be 640. 640-190= 450

On Monday, Florencia's hair was h centimeters long. She got a haircut on Tuesday, so her hair was only 75%, percent of the lengt
irga5000 [103]

It seems that you are trying to find the length of hair of Florencia on Tuesday.

Given that length of the hair of Florencia on Monday = h centimeters

On Tuesday, she got hair cut.

So new length of the hair of Florencia on Tuesday = 75% of Monday value

= 75% of (h)

= 0.75* (h)

= 0.75h

Hence final answer is the length of the hair of Florencia on Tuesday is ( 0.75h ) centimeters.
