What is the maximum height of h(t)=-16t^2+16t+480

There's a negative in a, so it would have an invisible -1 multiplying the whole equation.
-1(16t^2-16t-480)
Then you take two numbers that multiply to 16*-480
and add to -16. Let's hide out the -1 for now until the end to make it easier for us.
In this case, it would be -96 and 80 because 16*-480 = -7680 and multiplying -96 by 80 results in same product while adding up to -16.
Then you put those numbers in.
(16t^2-96t+80t-480)
Start to factor them by adding brackets and using GCF to separate them.
(16t^2-96t)+(80t-480)
Again, with GCF to simplify even more.
16t(t-6)+80(t-6)
And re-arrange to form the numbers into factored form cause of distributive property.
(16t+80)(t-6)
GCF to simplify to lowest terms.
16(t+5)(t-6)
Bring back the -1 we hid.
-16(t+5)(t-6)
Important Note: in vertex and factored form, the plus/positive signs within the brackets mean left side into negative x-values, and negative signs within brackets mean right side into positive x-values. In this case, your x-intercepts/zeros are (-5,0) and (6,0).

A person can't go into negative time, so they start from 0 and hit into the positive number of the x-int, so that's (6,0). 6 seconds. Find midpoint by adding the two x-int and dividing by 2.
h= \frac{-5+6}{2} \\  \\ h= \frac{1}{2}
Take the midpoint and plug into your quadratic equation to find your max height. Use a calculator for this.

Suppose a computer technical support representative can answer calls from 8 customers in an hour. What is the probability that a
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Option d

Step-by-step explanation:

We need 2 fundamental data to solve this problem.

1.- Average number of clients attended in 1 hour.

2.- Time in which it is expected that a client will be attended.

They tell us that the average number of clients served in an hour is m = 8

They tell us to calculate the probability that the client will be seen in less than 15 minutes.

But the time t in the formula is given in hours.

Therefore we must write 15 minutes according to hours.

We know that 1\ hour = 60 minutes.

So:

15\ minutes[\frac{1\ hour}{60\ minutes}] = 0.25\ hours.

Now we substitute in the formula m = 8 and t = 0.25 to find P.

P = 1 -e^{-mt}\\\\P = 1- e^{-(8)(0.25)}\\\\P = 1 - e^{-2}\\\\P = 0.8646\\\\P= 86\%
