Your question is incomplete, here is the complete question;

A football is kicked into the air and follows the path defined by h=-2x^2+16x, where x is the time in seconds and h is the height in meters. What is the maximum height reached by the football?

Answer:

maximum height=h=32 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is the equation of the parabola or quadratic equation.

The maximum height of the ball will occur at the axis of symmetry.

For the axis of symmetry let h=0,

so,

-2x^2+16x=0

comparing this equation to standard quadratic/parabola's equation, we get

a= -2, b=16 and c=0

Formula for axis of symmetry is x=-b/2a

x=-16/2*(-2)

x=-16/-4

x=4 it means axis of symmetry is vertical line through the point x=+4, so the maximum height will occur at x=+4

put x=4 to get maximum height as;

h=-2(4)^2+16(4)

h=-2(16)+64\\\\h=-32+64\\\\h=32

Maximum height=h=32\ meter

The angle of elevation from me to the top of a hill is 51 degrees. The angle of elevation from me to the top of a tree is 57 deg
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Approximately 101\; \rm ft (assuming that the height of the base of the hill is the same as that of the observer.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to the diagram attached.

  • Let \rm O denote the observer.
  • Let \rm A denote the top of the tree.
  • Let \rm R denote the base of the tree.
  • Let \rm B denote the point where line \rm AR (a vertical line) and the horizontal line going through \rm O meets. \angle \rm B\hat{A}R = 90^\circ.

Angles:

  • Angle of elevation of the base of the tree as it appears to the observer: \angle \rm B\hat{O}R = 51^\circ.
  • Angle of elevation of the top of the tree as it appears to the observer: \angle \rm B\hat{O}A = 57^\circ.

Let the length of segment \rm BR (vertical distance between the base of the tree and the base of the hill) be x\; \rm ft.

The question is asking for the length of segment \rm AB. Notice that the length of this segment is \mathrm{AB} = (x + 20)\; \rm ft.

The length of segment \rm OB could be represented in two ways:

  • In right triangle \rm \triangle OBR as the side adjacent to \angle \rm B\hat{O}R = 51^\circ.
  • In right triangle \rm \triangle OBA as the side adjacent to \angle \rm B\hat{O}A = 57^\circ.

For example, in right triangle \rm \triangle OBR, the length of the side opposite to \angle \rm B\hat{O}R = 51^\circ is segment \rm BR. The length of that segment is x\; \rm ft.

\begin{aligned}\tan{\left(\angle\mathrm{B\hat{O}R}\right)} = \frac{\,\rm {BR}\,}{\,\rm {OB}\,} \; \genfrac{}{}{0em}{}{\leftarrow \text{opposite}}{\leftarrow \text{adjacent}}\end{aligned}.

Rearrange to find an expression for the length of \rm OB (in \rm ft) in terms of x:

\begin{aligned}\mathrm{OB} &= \frac{\mathrm{BR}}{\tan{\left(\angle\mathrm{B\hat{O}R}\right)}} \\ &= \frac{x}{\tan\left(51^\circ\right)}\approx 0.810\, x\end{aligned}.

Similarly, in right triangle \rm \triangle OBA:

\begin{aligned}\mathrm{OB} &= \frac{\mathrm{AB}}{\tan{\left(\angle\mathrm{B\hat{O}A}\right)}} \\ &= \frac{x + 20}{\tan\left(57^\circ\right)}\approx 0.649\, (x + 20)\end{aligned}.

Equate the right-hand side of these two equations:

0.810\, x \approx 0.649\, (x + 20).

Solve for x:

x \approx 81\; \rm ft.

Hence, the height of the top of this tree relative to the base of the hill would be (x + 20)\; {\rm ft}\approx 101\; \rm ft.

<h3>What exactly is a series query?</h3>

These problems are based on numerical series that adhere to a logical rule or pattern derived from fundamental notions in mathematics. The pattern must be examined from a certain sequence that is presented. The following question asks you to anticipate the subsequent number in the series using the same formula.

<h3>Sequence and series types?</h3>

arithmetic progressions Sequences in geometry. Harmonic patterns.

Evan takes ten steps before the dog takes 25 steps.

Evan takes 28 steps first, then the dog takes 70 steps.

Evan takes 50 steps, followed by the dog's 125 steps.
