A) 0.80 seconds
B) 1 second
C) 2 seconds
D) 15 seconds

Answer:
Option A.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given function is
It models the height and time of a ball that was thrown off of a building where h is the height in feet and t is the time in seconds.
If a parabola is defined by function , then the vertex of the parabola is
In the given function a=-16, b=25 and c=15. It is a downward parabola and vertex of a downward parabola is point of maximum.
We need to find the time at which the height of ball is maximum. It means we need to find the x-coordinate of the vertex.
It means the ball reach the maximum height at about 0.80 seconds.
Therefore, the correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:
a) 8 = 2 x 2 x 2
b) 32 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2
c) 256 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2
d) 5 x 2^3 / 64 = 5 x 8 / 64
= 40/64
= 5/8

e) 16 - (-2)^3 = 16 - (-8)
= 16 + 8
