Selena is standing on a rock cliff that is 52 feet high. She tosses a pebble upward over the edge, where it hits the top of a 12

foot high boulder. The quadratic equation that models the path of the pebble is given below. How long did it take for the pebble to hit the top of the boulder? p(t)=-16t^2+12t+52​

Answer: At t=\dfrac{3}{8}, the pebble hit the top of the boulder.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Distance at which Selena is standing on a rock cliff = 52 feet

Height of boulder above a rock cliff = 12 foot

So, the given quadratic equation would be

p(t)=-16t^2+12t+52

First we derivative it w.r.t  t,

p'(t)=-32t+12

Now, we will find the critical value,

-32t+12=0\\\\-32t=-12\\\\t=\dfrac{12}{32}=\dfrac{6}{16}=\dfrac{3}{8}

Now, we will check whether it is maximum or not.

p''(t)=-32

So, we get that it is maximum.

Hence, at t=\dfrac{3}{8}, the pebble hit the top of the boulder.

umka2103 [35]
The useful hint here is the shape of the area which is square. By definition, a square is a two-dimensional figure that consist of two parallel sides have the same equal measure. The only given dimension of a square is its side. The area is equal to the square of the side. Since the side has a measure of x²y³,

A = s² = (x²y³)²
By the laws of exponents, for this problem, just simply distribute the outer exponent to each of the inner exponent.
A = x⁴y⁶
