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.
I have memorized facts about fractions like these, so can tell you ...
_____
A fraction with 9 as a denominator is a repeating 1-digit decimal with the decimal digit being the numerator of the fraction.
A fraction with 11 as a denominator is a repeating 2-digit decimal with the two digits being 9 times the numerator of the fraction.
1/8 = 0.125, so any multiple of 1/8 is that multiple of 0.125.
Answer:
See proof below
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to verify that if we substitute in the equation
the equality is true.
Let's substitute first in the right hand side:
Now we use the distributive laws. Also, note that (this also works when the power is n-2).
then the sequence solves the recurrence relation.
