A ball is thrown into the air with an upward velocity of 80ft/s. Its height H in feet after T seconds id given by the function H

= -16T^2+80T+5. What is the maximum height the ball reaches? How long will it take the ball to reach maximum height? How long does it take for the mall to be caught 5 feet off the ground?
All I really need help on is the last one.
Will some one plz help me.

1. The function H= -16T^2+80T+5 is a parabola of the form a x^{2} +bx+c, so to find the maximum height of the ball, we are going to find the y-coordinate of the vertex of the parabola. To find the y-coordinate of the vertex we are going to evaluate the function at the point \frac{-b}{2a}.
From our function we can infer that b=80 and a=-16, so the point \frac{-b}{2a} [/tex] will be \frac{-80}{-2(16)} = \frac{5}{2}. Lets evaluate the function at that point:
h=-16t^2+80t+5
h=-16( \frac{5}{2} )^2+80( \frac{5}{2} )+5
h=105

We can conclude that the ball reaches a maximum height of 105 feet.

2. Since we now know that the maximum height the ball reaches is 105 feet, we are going to replace h with 105 in our function, then we are going to solve for t to find how long the ball takes to reach its maximum height:
h=-16t^2+80t+5
105=-16t^{2}+80t+5
-16t^2+80t-100=0
-4(4t^{2}+20t-25)=0
4(2t-5)^2=0
2t-5=0
t= \frac{5}{2}
t=2.5

We can conclude that the ball reaches its maximum height in 2.5 seconds.

3. Just like before, we are going to replace h with 5 in our original function, then we are going to solve for t to find how long will take for the ball to be caught 5 feet off the ground:
h=-16t^2+80t+5
5=-16t^2+80t+5
-16t^{2}+80t=0
-16t(t-5)=0
t-5=0
t=5

We can conclude that it takes 5 seconds for the ball to be caught 5 feet off the ground.

What is the reliability of a two-component product if the components are in parallel, with individual reliabilities of 0.95, and
user100 [1]

The reliability of a two-component product if the components are in parallel is 0.99.

In this question,

The probability of failure-free operation of a system with several parallel elements is always higher than that of the best element in the system. Reliability can be increased if the same function is done by two or more elements arranged in parallel.

A system contains two components that are arranged in parallel, they are 0.95 and 0.80.

Therefore the system reliability can be calculated as follows

⇒ 1 - ( 1 - 0.95 ) × ( 1 - 0.80 )

⇒ 1 - (0.05 × 0.20)

⇒ 1 - 0.01

⇒ 0.99

Hence we can conclude that the reliability of a two-component product if the components are in parallel is 0.99.

Dylan has a square piece of metal that measures 10 inches on each side. he cuts the metal along the diagonal, forming two right
Artemon [7]
You need to use the Pythagorean theory. a² + b² = c². So you would end up with 10²+10²=c². So, 10²=100, therefore you would end up with 200=c². In order to find the length of the hypotenuse, you need to find C. To do this, you need to undo the square and find the square root of 200 and C. So, you would get √200=√c² which would equal 14.1 inches. Then, if needed to check the answer, plug the 10,10,and 14.1 back into the a²+b²=c² and it should make the statement true.

√9a^2 + √49b - a + √b<br><br><br> a. 2b + 8 √a<br><br> b. 2a - 8 √b<br><br> c. 2a + 8 √b
Firdavs [7]
The correct answer:
______________________________________________________
Explanation:
______________________________________________________
Assuming you mean:

" √(9a²)  +  (√49b)  −  a  +  √b " ;

Simplify the expression:
_________________________________________________________

Note that:  " √(9a²) = 3a " ;

                   "√(49b) = 7√b " ;   

And we write the expression

   →  " 3a  +  7√b  −  a  + √b " ; 

Combine the "like terms:

   " + 3a − a  =  2a " ;

   " +  7√b  +  1√b   =  8√b " ; 

Rewrite:  
________________________________________________________
    " 2a  +  8√b " ;  which is:  Answer choice:  [C]:  " 2a  +  8√b " .
