A ball is thrown into the air with an upward velocity of 36 ft/s. Its height h in feet after t seconds is given by the function

h = −16t2 + 36t + 5. In how many seconds does the ball reach its maximum height? Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary. What is the ball’s maximum height?

This can be solved in two ways: With heavy tools or with just algebra. 
What is your level? Have you studied calculus? 

With pure algebra: 
We need to find the maximum of the function <span>h = −16t^2 + 36t + 5
Lets take out -1 for simplicity: 
</span><span>h = −(16t2 - 36t - 5) 
For now lets just work with this: </span>16t^2 - 36t - 5
16t^2=(4t)^2 
(4t-x)^2= 16t^2-2*4xt+x^2
we have -36t so x should be 4.5 as 2*4*4.5=36

Lets see what we have now:
16t^2 - 36t - 5= (4t-4.5)^2 is this true? No but close
(4t-4.5)^2= 16t^2- 2*4*4.5t +4.5^2= 16t^2-36t+20.25

16t^2 - 36t - 5   and 16t^2-36t+20.25 nearl the same just take away 25.25 from the right hand side

Getting long, just stay with me: 
16t^2 - 36t - 5= (4t-4.5)^2 - 25.25

h= -{(4t-4.5)^2 -25.25}
h=-(4t-4.5)^2 + 25.25

We want to find the maximum of this function. -(4t-4.5)^2 this bit is always negative or 0, so it maximum is when it is 0. Solve: 4t-4.5=0
t=1,125

What is the sum of the first 10 positive integers?<br><br> A) 55<br> B) 50 <br> C) 100<br> D) 95
olga2289 [7]
The correct answer here is A) 55. This is because a positive integer is defined as any number greater than 0 and has no decimals/ fractions in it. Therefore, you would add 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10, yielding 55 as your answer.

Terrance made a list of his expenses. He is creating a check-off matrix to organize when his bills are due. A check-off matrix i
valkas [14]

Complete the chart  by marking each of the expenses in the correct cell depending on whether the expense occurs montlhy, quarterly, annually, etc. as shown in the chart.

<h3>What is a check-off matrix?</h3>

This is a type of chart that is completed by adding X to the cells. In the case of expenses, check-off matrixes help you to visualize how often every expense occurs, and therefore it can be useful to control or monitor expenses.

This type of matrix often includes:

-Columns with the months of the year or the initals of these. June = J.

-Rows that show the expenses a person has.

<h3>How to do a check-off matrix?</h3>
  1. List the expenses
  2. Make an X in each of the cells that the each expense should occur.
  3. Verify the information once the chart is finished.

Below you can find the complete chart:

OverLord2011 [107]
This questions can be answered with a calculator, but I have an impression it is meant to be a mental calculation problem, which can be solved as follows.

We know that 10*10=100, in otherwords, &radic; 100 = 10 which is greater than 9.4247.

We also know that &radic; 108  is greater than &radic; 100 =10

So we can conclude that
&radic; 108 > &radic; 100 = 10  > 9.4247
or simply

&radic; 108 > 9.4247

by the transitive property of logical propositions.

Answer:

a) P) 0.25 = 1/4  both

b) P) 0.75 = 3/4  one

c) P) 0.25  = 1/4  none

Step-by-step explanation:

4 routes to D + H

6 routes to H + S

= D  H   S

     4  | 6

    - 2 | -3

=    2  |  3  = route 1 = 2/4  and route 2 = 3/6

= 1/2 route 1 and 1/2 route 2

Answer a ) = 1/2 x 1/2 = 0.25 = 1/4  = 0.25 probability

Answer b)  = 1- (1/2 x 1/2) = 1- 0.25 = 3/4 = 0.75 probability

Answer c)  = 1/2 x 1/2 = 0.25 = 1/4 = 0.25 probability
