Answer: it will take 8.25 seconds to reach maximum height

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial velocity, u of baseball = 132 feet per second. The height of the baseball, h in feet after t seconds is given by the function h = −16t^2 + 132t + 4

The given function is a quadratic equation. If values of height attained is plotted against time, the graph will take the shape of a parabola whose vertex corresponds to the maximum height attained by the baseball

Vertex of the parabola = -b/2a

a = - 16

b = 132

Vertex = - 132/-16× 2 = -132/32

Vertex = 4.125

The maximum height is 4.125 feets

To determine the time it will take to reach the maximum height of 4.125 feets, we will substitute h = 4.125 in the equation

4.125 = −16t^2 + 132t + 4

−16t^2 + 132t - 0.125 = 0

Applying the general formula for quadratic equations,

t = [- b ± √b^2 - (4ac)]/2a

a = -16

b = 132

c = -0.125

t = [- 132 ± √132^2 - 4(-16 × - 0.125)]/2× -16

t = [- 132 ± √17424 - 8)]/-32

t = [- 132 ± √17416]/-32

t = (-132 ± 132)/-32

t = (-132 + 132)/-32 or (-132 -132)/-32

t = 0 or -264/-32

t = 8.25 seconds

What is the effect on the graph of the function f(x) = 2^x when f(x) is replaced with f(x − 3)?
mel-nik [20]

Graph of f(x-3) is compressed by a factor of  \frac{1}{8} horizontally of f(x).

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We have, the graph of f(x)= 2^{x} , on replacing f(x) by f(x-3) we get:

f(x-3)= 2^{x-3} = \frac{2^{x}}{2^{3}} = \frac{1}{8} 2^{x} = \frac{1}{8} f(x).Below shown are the images for graph of f(x) and f(x-3). Both are functions are exponential , and so having exponential graph but f(x-3) is compressed by a factor of  \frac{1}{8} horizontally . Domain and range of both functions are same i.e. F(x) & f(x-3) domain & range are same , just difference in graph : f(x-3) = \frac{1}{8} f(x).

Solve the system of equations -x-2y=0 and -x+y=6 by combining the equations
Elden [556K]

Answer:

x=-4 and y=10

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the second equation to make y=x+6

sub y=x+6 into the first equation

-x-2*(x+6)=0

-x-2x-12=0

-3x-12=0

3x=-12

x=-4

Now sub x=-4 into the second equation

-(-4)+y=6

y=6+4

y=10

Find each percent increase round to the nearest percent from 86 books to 150 books
Stels [109]
From 86 books to 150 books. An increase of 64 books.

(150 - 86) / 86 = 64 / 86 = 0.744 * 100% = 74.40% or 74% increase

150 / 86 = 1.744 * 100% = 174.40%

86 is the basis. It is 100%

If the problem asks for the value of the percentage increase and the rate is given 74.4% of 86. Then 86 * 74.4% = 64. You just add 64 to 86 to get the new total of books which is 150.
