Answer:
Part.A
t=3.345 s
Maximum height = h= 210.24 feet
Part.B
t=44 s
Part.C
S(0)=28 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
maximum height = 28 feet
quadratic equation for the height is h= − 16 t 2 + 108 t + 28
<u>Part. A: Maximum height=? and Time for maximum height=?</u>
As the given equation is equation of parabola and the maximum height is at the vertex of the graph for the equation of parabola.
For finding the vertex of parabola is we need it's x and y coordinates.
x-coordinate of vertex is the time for maximum for maximum height while y-coordinate is the maximum height.
formula for x-coordinate is -b/2a
comparing the given equation with the original equation of parabola we get the values of a, b and c as;
a=-16, b=108, and c=28
Here, x-coordinate is t=-b/2a
t=-108/(2*-16)
t=-108/(-32)
t=3.345 s
for y-coordinate (h), put the value of x-coordinate (i.e. value of t) in the given equation of parabola as;
h=-16(3.345)^2+108*3.345+28
h= -179.02+361.26+28
h=210.24 feet
Maximum height = h= 210.24 feet
<u>Part.B How many seconds does it take until the ball finally hits the ground?</u>
If ball hits the ground it means y-component is zero.
putting y=0 in the given equation we get the time that the ball will take to hit the ground
0=− 16 t^2 + 108 t + 28
using quadratic formula, we get
±
t=±
t=-14±
t=-14+58 or -14-58
t=44 s or -72
time cannot be negative so t=44 s
<u>Part.C Find s(0) and describe what this means?</u>
given equation for h can also be denoted by s(t) which represents distance as a function of time (height is also a distance)
S(0)=-16*0^2+108*0+28
S(0)=28 feet
S(0) means the initial distance when ball was at the edge on the top of building at initial time i.e. when t=0 s
Given:
A biased dice is thrown 300 times.
Table of probabilities of each score.
To find:
The expected number of times the score will be odd.
Solution:
Odd numbers on the dice are 1, 3, 5. The sum of their probability is
Even numbers on the dice are 2, 4, 6. The sum of their probability is
Now, the expected number of times the score will be odd is
Therefore, the expected number of times the score will be odd is 210.
