A firecracker reaches a height of h feet before it bursts. The height h is modeled by h = −16t2 + vt + c, where v is the initial

velocity, and c is the beginning height of the firecracker above the ground. The firecracker is placed on the roof of a building of height 15 feet and is fired at an initial velocity of 100 feet per second. Will it reach a height of 100 feet before it bursts? Identify the correct explanation for your answer.

General Idea:

If we have a quadratic function of the form f(x)=ax^{2} +bx+c , then the function will attain its maximum value only if a < 0 & its maximum value will be at x=-\frac{b}{2a} .

Applying the concept:

The height h is modeled by h = −16t^2 + vt + c, where v is the initial velocity, and c is the beginning height of the firecracker above the ground. The firecracker is placed on the roof of a building of height 15 feet and is fired at an initial velocity of 100 feet per second. Substituting 15 for c and 100 for v, we get the function as h=-16t^2+100t+15.

Comparing the function f(x)=ax^{2} +bx+c with the given function h=-16t^{2} +100t+15, we get a = -16, b = 100 and c=15.

The maximum height of the soccer ball will occur at t=\frac{-b}{2a}=\frac{-100}{2(-16)} = \frac{-100}{-32}=3.125 seconds

The maximum height is found by substituting t=3.125 in the function as below:

h=-16(3.125)^2+100(3.125)+15=171.25 feet

Conclusion:

<u>Yes !</u> The firecracker reaches a height of 100 feet before it bursts.

How do you cauculate net change ​
Travka [436]

Answer:

You can calculate net change by subtracting the current day's closing price for an asset from the closing price of the previous day!

Step-by-step explanation:

(What net change is) The net change theorem states that when a quantity changes, the final value equals the initial value plus the integral of the rate of change. Net change can be a positive number, a negative number, or zero.
