An object is thrown straight up from the top of a 100-foot platform at a velocity of 48 feet per second. The height h(t) of the

object t seconds after being thrown is given by h(t)=-16t^{2}+48t+100. Find the maximum height reached by the object and the time it takes to achieve this height.

Answer:

  • The maximum height is 136 ft
  • The time it takes to achieve this height is 1.5 s.

Explanation:

<u>1. Function for the height (given):</u>

    h(t)=-16t^2+48t+100

<u />

<u>2. Type of function</u>

That is a quadatic function, whose graph is a parabola that opens downward.

The maximum of the function, i.e. the maximum height, is the vertex of the parabola.

The vertex of a parabola with the genral equation   y=ax^2+bx+c  is at the x-coordinate

                       x=-b/(2a)

<u>3. Time to achieve the maximum height</u>

Substitute b with 48 and a with - 16:

        t=-48/(2(-16))=48/32=3/2=1.5

Then, time when the object achieves the maximum height it 1.5s

<u />

<u>4. Maximum height:</u>

Replace t with 1.5 in the equation, to find the maximum height, h(1.5)

     h(1.5)=-16(1.5)^2+48(1.5)+100=136

Then, the maximum height is 136 ft

A tree struck by lightning broke at a point 12 feet above the ground. What was the height of the tree to the nearest tenth of a
algol13

Answer:

52.8 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram :

The height of tree woulb be :

Height above the ground (at breakpoint) + hypotenus

Hypotenus, h cab be obtained using Pythagoras rule :

h² = opp² + adj²

h² = 39² + 12²

h² = 1665

h = sqrt(1665)

h = 40.804 feets

Height of tree to the nearest tenth ;

40.804 feets + 12 feets

= 52.804 feets

= 52.8 feets
