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

What’s the answer to this?
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

y=3/2x+0

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for slope intercept form formula is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept and since the slope is rise over run ( or rise/run just put it into fraction form) we count from the y intercept up until we can see the line reach a point where it touches a actual cross point ( in this case from the y intercept we see it goes up three) Then we count over how many to that cross point ( the full point, not just a random place on the chart) (in this case 2) and that creates 3/2. Now for the y intercept. Where does the line intercept the vertical line? That's your y intercept. In this case it's 0. Now you can see where we count up from three ( for the slope) and over two. Right onto that point. Hope this makes sense! If not look up Khan academy for some extra tutoring that is free.

Hope this helps! If so please mark brainliest and rate/heart if it did.

Find the area (shaded) and round to the tenths place if necessary.
fomenos

Answer:

9π - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Depends on what the question stated was pi (π). The area of the circle is 9(3 squared) * π. the shaded area is the area of the circle - the area of the triangle. The area of the triangle is base * high / 2. If the diameter of the circle (6) is what we use as the base, then 3 would be the high, making the area 9. This means the shaded area would be 9π - 9.

Find the sum of the first four terms of the geometric sequence shown below. 4​, 4/ 3​, 4/9​, ...
user100 [1]
It's evident that the first four terms are 4, 4/3, 4/9, and 4/27. So the fourth partial sum of the series is

S_4=4+\dfrac43+\dfrac49+\dfrac4{27}

It's as easy as adding up the fractions, but I bet this is supposed to be an exercise in taking advantage of the fact that the series is geometric and use the well-known formula for computing such a sum.

Multiply the sum by 1/3 and you have

\dfrac13S_4=\dfrac43+\dfrac49+\dfrac4{27}+\dfrac4{81}

Now subtracting this from S_4 gives

S_4-\dfrac13S_4=4-\dfrac4{81}

That is, all the matching terms will cancel. Now solving for S_4, you
have

\dfrac23S_4=4\left(1-\dfrac1{81}\right)
S_4=6\left(1-\dfrac1{81}\right)
S_4=\dfrac{480}{81}=\dfrac{160}{27}
