Max height is the vertex
convert to vertex form (y=a(x-h)^2+k) by completeing the square
h(t)=-16(t²-4t)+80
h(t)=-16(t²-4t+4-4)+80
h(t)=-16((t-2)²-4)+80
h(t)=-16(t-2)²+64+80
h(t)=-16(t-2)²+144
vertex is (2,144)
at t=2, the height is 144
max height is 144ft
If 3 is x that means y is -17 so that mean f=-17/3
1. First, let us define the width of the rectangle as w and the length as l.
2. Now, given that the length of the rectangle is 6 in. more than the width, we can write this out as:
l = w + 6
3. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2w + 2l. We know that the perimeter of the rectangle in the problem is 24 in. so we can rewrite this as:
24 = 2w + 2l
4. Given that we know that l = w + 6, we can substitute this into the formula for the perimeter above so that we will have only one variable to solve for. Thus:
24 = 2w + 2l
if l = w + 6, then: 24 = 2w + 2(w + 6)
24 = 2w + 2w + 12 (Expand 2(w + 6) )
24 = 4w + 12
12 = 4w (Subtract 12 from each side)
w = 12/4 (Divide each side by 4)
w = 3 in.
5. Now that we know that the width is 3 in., we can substitute this into our formula for length that we found in 2. :
l = w + 6
l = 3 + 6
l = 9 in.
6. Therefor the rectangle has a width of 3 in. and a length of 9 in.
The answer is C, number of snails to the total number of animals
