The team mascot shoots a rolled T-shirt from a special T-shirt cannon to a section of people in the stands at a basketball game.

The T-shirt starts at a height of 8 feet when it leaves the cannon and 1 second later reaches a maximum height of 24 feet before coming back down to a lucky winner. If the path of the T-shirt is represented by a parabola, which function could be used to represent the height of the T-shirt as a function of time, t, in seconds? f(t) = –16(t – 1)2 + 24 f(t) = –16(t + 1)2 + 24 f(t) = –16(t – 1)2 – 24 f(t) = –16(t + 1)2 – 24

For this parabola we have:
f ( 0 ) = 8
and : f ( 1 ) = 24
In the first equation ( A) :
f ( 0 ) = - 16 * ( 0 - 1 )² + 24 = - 16 * 1 + 24 = 8 ( correct )
f ( 1 ) = - 16 * ( 1 - 1 )² + 24 = 24  ( correct )
For B:
f ( 0 ) = - 16 * ( 0 + 1 )² + 24 = - 16 + 24    = 8  ( correct )
f ( 1 ) = - 16 * ( 1 + 1 )² + 24 = - 16 * 4 + 24 = - 64 + 24 = 40 ( false )
For C:
f ( 0 ) = - 16 * ( 0 - 1 )² - 24 = - 16 - 24 = - 40 ( false )
f ( 1 ) = - 16 * ( 1 - 1 )² - 24 = - 24  ( false )
For D:
f ( 0 ) = - 16 * ( 0 + 1 )² - 24 = - 16 - 24 = - 40 ( false )
f ( 1 ) = - 16 * ( 1 - 1 )² - 24 = - 24   ( false )
Answer:
A )  f ( t ) =  - 16 * ( t - 1 )² + 24

Answer:  f(t) = -16(t - 1)2 + 24

Step-by-step explanation:        

Here f(t) represents the path of the T-shirt in t seconds.

Since, It is given,

Initially, t = 0 and f(t) = 8

And, For t = 1, f(t) = 24

Thus, (0,8) and (1,24) are the points of given parabola.

⇒These points must satisfy the equation of the parabola.

When we put x = 0 and y = 8 in all the equations one by one,

We found, Equations  f(t) = -16(t - 1)2 - 24, f(t) = -16(t + 1)2 - 24 are not satisfying.

Therefore, they can not be the equation of the given parabola.

Again by putting x = 1 and y = 24,

f(t) = -16(t + 1)2 + 24 is not satisfying.

Therefore f(t) = -16(t + 1)2 + 24 also can not be the equation of the given parabola.

Thus, Only equation f(t) = -16(t - 1)2 + 24 is satisfied by the points (0.8) and (1,24).

⇒ f(t) = -16(t - 1)2 + 24 can be the equation of the given path of T-shirt.

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

If you plug in 5 for x and 3 for y then the equation would be 3(5)+5(3) or 15+15.

. Quantas senhas com 4 algarismos diferentes podemos escrever com os algarismos 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6?
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

We can write 360 distinct passwords using the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find how many passwords with 4 different digits can we write with the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

Firstly, it must be known here that to calculate the above situation we have to use Permutation and not combination because here the order of the numbers in a password matter.

Since we are given six numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) and have to make 4 different digits passwords.

  • Now, for first digit of the password, we have 6 possibilities (numbers from 1 to 6).
  • Similarly, for second digit of the password, we have 5 possibilities (because one number from 1 to 6 has been used above and it can't be repeated).
  • Similarly, for the third digit of the password, we have 4 possibilities (because two numbers from 1 to 6 have been used above and they can't be repeated).
  • Similarly, for the fourth digit of the password, we have 3 possibilities (because three numbers from 1 to 6 have been used above and they can't be repeated).

So, the number of passwords with 4 different digits we can write = 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3  = 360 possibilities.

Hence, we can write 360 distinct passwords using the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
