Answer:

1) x=\dfrac{5}{2}

2)  t_1=-1 and t_2=6

3) (0,12)

4) \left(\dfrac{5}{2},\dfrac{49}{2}\right)

Step-by-step explanation:

The function h(t) =-2t^2 + 10t + 12 represents the height (h) of the ball after t seconds.

Find the vertex of the parabola:

t_v=-\dfrac{b}{2a}=-\dfrac{10}{2\cdot (-2)}=\dfrac{5}{2}\\ \\h_v=h\left(\dfrac{5}{2}\right)=-2\cdot\left(\dfrac{5}{2}\right)^2+10\cdot \dfrac{5}{2}+12=-2\cdot \dfrac{25}{4}+25+12=-\dfrac{25}{2}+37=\dfrac{49}{2}

Hence, the vertex of the function is at point \left(\dfrac{5}{2},\dfrac{49}{2}\right).

The axis of symmetry of the function is vertical line which passes through the vertex, so its equation is

x=\dfrac{5}{2}

To find y-intercept, equat t to 0 and find h:

h=-2\cdot 0^2+10\cdot 0+12=12

Hence, y-intercept is at point (0,12)

To find the roots of the quadratic finction, equate h to 0 and solve the equation for t:

h=0\Rightarrow -2t^2+10t+12=0\\ \\t^2-5t-6=0\ [\text{Divided by -2}]\\ \\D=(-5)^2-4\cdot 1\cdot (-6)=25+24=49\\ \\t_{1,2}=\dfrac{-(-5)\pm \sqrt{49}}{2\cdot 1}=\dfrac{5\pm 7}{2}=6,\ -1

Therefore, two roots are t_1=-1 and t_2=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Point-slope is the general form y-y₁=m(x-x₁) for linear equations. It emphasizes the slope of the line and a point on the line (that is not the y-intercept).

Use the discriminant to describe the roots of each equation. Then select the best description.
Marrrta [24]
Let's find the discriminant of <span>x^2+9x+14=0.  Here, a=1, b=9 and c=14.

The discriminant is b^2-4ac.  Substituting the above numeric values,
                                9^2-4(1)(14) = 81-56 = 25

The sqrt of 25 is 5.  Thus, your polynomial has two unequal, real roots.

Off the point example:  If the discriminant were zero, your poly would have two real, equal roots.</span>
