the maximum height is the y-value of the vertex.

h(x) = -2x² + 20x + 48

      <em>  a=-2, b=20, c=48</em>

x = \frac{-b}{2a} = \frac{-20}{2(-2)} = \frac{-20}{-4} = 5

h(5) = -2(5)² + 20(5) + 48

      =  -50   +  100   + 48

      =          50         + 48

      =                98

Answer: 98 meters

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a)

Given that the two parallel lines are crossed by a transversal line.

Given that

m∠2 = 2x + 54 and m∠6 = 6x - 11

Angle ∠2 and ∠6 are corresponding angles.

Corresponding angles are congruent.

Thus,

m∠2 = m∠6

2x + 54 = 6x - 11

flipe the equation

6x - 11 = 2x + 54

subtract 2x from both sides

6x - 2x - 11 = 2x - 2x + 54

4x - 11 = 54

adding 11 to both sides

4x - 11 + 11 = 54 + 11

4x = 65

dvide both sides by 4

4x/4 = 65/4

x = 16.2500    (round to 4 decimal places)

Part b)

We have already determined

x = 16.2500

Given

m∠2 = 2x + 54

substitute x = 16.2500 in the euation

        = 2(16.2500) + 54

        = 86.5°

As angle ∠2 and angle ∠1 lie on a straight line. Hence, the sum of their angles must be 180°.

i.e.

m∠1 + m∠2 = 180°

substituting m∠2 =  86.5° in the equation

m∠1 + 86.5°  = 180°

subtracting 86.5° from both sides

m∠1 + 86.5° - 86.5° = 180° - 86.5°

m∠1 = 93.5°

Therefore, the measure of angle m∠1 is:

  • m∠1 = 93.5°

A triangle has sides of (2x), (x - 7) and (3x - 20).
LiRa [457]
2x+x-7+3x-20=87cm
6x-27=87
6x=114
x=19
Therefore the sides are:12cm, 38cm, and 37cm

jester has a piece of wood measuring 1 and 2/3 m.he needs to cut in pieces measuring 3/4 m long.how many pieces of wood did jest
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

2 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length = 1\frac{2}{3}m

Pieces = \frac{3}{4}m

Required

Calculate the number of pieces

To do this, we have to divide the length of the wood by the length of each piece.

Represent this with x

x= \frac{Length}{Pieces}

x= 1\frac{2}{3}/\frac{3}{4}

Convert mixed numbers to improper fraction

x= \frac{5}{3}/\frac{3}{4}

Change division to multiplication

x= \frac{5}{3}*\frac{4}{3}

x= \frac{20}{9}

x = 2.22

<em></em>x = 2<em> </em>

What is the product?<br> (-2x- 9y2 )(-4x-3)
lara [203]

Answer:

36xy^2 + 8x^2 + 27y^2 + 6x

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the FOIL method of multiplying binomials.

First term in each binomial: -2x * -4x = 8x^2

Outside terms: -2x * -3 = 6x

Inside terms: -9y^2 * -4x = 36xy^2

Last term in each binomial: -9y^2 * -3 = 27y^2

Now, rearrange the terms correctly. 36xy^2 + 8x^2 + 27y^2 + 6x

This is our final answer, since it can not be simplified any more.
