Answer:

Reaches a maximum height of 235.00 feet in 3.75 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the boulder, h, in feet after t seconds is given by the function is given by :

$h=-16t^2+120t+10$ .....(1)

For maximum height, put $\dfrac{dh}{dt}=0$

i.e.

$\dfrac{d(-16t^2+120t+10)}{dt}=0\\\\-32t+120=0\\\\32t=120\\\\t=3.75\ s$

Put t = 3.75 in equation (1). So,

$h=-16(3.75)^2+120(3.75)+10\\\\h=235\ \text{feet}$

So, the boulder's maximum height is 235 feets and it takes 3.75 s to reach to its maximum height.

On a coordinate plane, triangle A B C is shown. Point A is at (negative 1, 1), point B is at (3, 2), and points C is at (negativ

oksian1 [2.3K]

The corresponding height of the triangle is 1.6 units

The formula for calculating the area of a triangle is expressed as:

$A=\frac{1}{2} bh$

b is the base of the triangle

h is the height of the triangle

Given the coordinates of the base BC of the triangle given as B(3, 2), and C(-1,-1). Using the distance formula:

$D=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\BC= \sqrt{(-1-2)^2+(-1-3)^2}\\BC=\sqrt{3^2+4^2}\\BC=\sqrt{25}\\BC=5units$

The area of the triangle passing through the coordinate points A(-1, 1), B(3,2), and C(-1, -1) is expressed as:

$A=\frac{1}{2}[x_1(y_2-y_3)+x_2(y_3-y_1)+x_3(y_1-y_2)]\\$

Substituting the coordinate points:

$A=\frac{1}{2}[(-1)(2-(-1))+3(-1-1)+-1(1-2)]\\A=\frac{1}{2}[(-1)(3)+3(-2)+-1(-1)]\\A=\frac{1}{2}[-3-6+1]\\A=\frac{1}{2} (-8)\\|A| =4 units^2$

Recall that:

$A = 0.5bh\\h=\frac{A}{0.5b}\\h=\frac{4}{0.5(5)}\\h=\frac{4}{2.5}\\h= 1.6 units$

Hence the corresponding height of the triangle is 1.6 units

Estimate the distance you can travel in 3 hours 20 minutes if you drive on average 49 miles per hour. Round your answer to the n

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

163 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

set up a ratio based on 49 miles in 1 hour (60 minutes):

let 'd' = distance in 3hrs, 20 min

3hrs, 20 min = 200 minutes

49/60 = d/200

cross-multiply:

60d = 9800

d = 163.3
