Answer:

We want to craft:

a/b and c/d

where a, b, c and d can be 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Such that the distance in the number line between these two numbers is maximized.

Then we want one number to be really small, and the other to be really large.

Remember two things:

for numbers like a/b.

if a is smaller than b, then a/b is smaller than 1.

Now, if a is larger than b, then a/b is larger than 1.

And two things,

1/10 = 0.1

10/1 = 10

So when the numerator is larger, the distance displaced in the number line is larger.

Then we want to have:

a number where the numerator is the largest option and the denominator is the smallest option:

a/b = 5/2

And the two remaining options in such way that the numerator is smaller than the denominator:

c/d = 3/4.

The distance between these two numbers is:

D = 5/2 - 3/4 = 10/4 - 3/4 = 7/4.

The function h is given by h ( t ) = ( 1 − t ) ( 8 + 16 t ) models the height of a ball in feet, t seconds after it is thrown.
Elena-2011 [213]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • zeros: t = 1, t = -1/2
  • no: the domain of the function is t ≥ 0
  • 8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The zeros are the values of t that make the factors zero.

  1 -t = 0   ⇒   t = 1

  8 +16t = 0   ⇒   t = -8/16 = -1/2

The equation is used to model height after the ball is thrown. We don't expect it to be a good model before the ball is thrown (t < 0), so the zero in that region is extraneous.

Only the positive zero is in the function's domain, so that is the only one that is meaningful.

__

When t = 0 (at the time the ball is thrown), the function value is ...

  h(0) = (1 -0)(8 +0) = 8

The ball is thrown from a height of 8 feet.
