Answer:

A. 1/32

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, the probability for one of the coins to land on heads is 1/2 cause a coin have to sides and chance is 50% that it will land on either of its sides.

If you have 2 coins the probability will be 1/2 for the first coin to land on heads and 1/2 for the second one. The overall probability for 2 coins would be (1/2)*(1/2)=1/4. You could also see it is 1/4 because all of the possible combinations of 2 coins are 4 (HH, HT, TH, TT) and HH is one of four.

It's the same if you have 5 coins. The probability will be (1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2)=1/32 in other words HHHHH is one of 32 possible combinations of 5 coins.

Answer:

a.) 1.38 seconds

b.) 17.59ft

Step-by-step explanation:

h(t) = -16t^2 + 22.08t + 6

if we were to graph this, the vertex of the function would be the point, which if we substituted into the function would give us the maximum height.

to find the vertex, since we are dealing with something called "quadratic form" ax^2+bx+c, we can use a formula to find the vertex

-b/2a

b=22.08

a=-16

-22.08/-16, we get 1.38 when the minuses cancel out. since our x is time, it will be 1.38 seconds

now since the vertex is 1.38, we can substitute 1.38 into the function to find the maximum height.

h(1.38)= -16(1.38)^2 + 22.08t + 6 -----> is maximum height.

approximately = 17.59ft -------> calculator used, and rounded to 2 significant figures.

for c the time can be equal to (69+sqrt(8511))/100, as the negative version would be incompatible since we are talking about time. or if you wanted a rounded decimal, approx 1.62 seconds.
