A person standing cloes to the edge on the top of a 200-foot building throws a baseball vertically upward. The quadratic functio

n
s(t)=-16t^2+64t+200
models the ball's height above the ground, s(t), in feet, t seconds after it was thrown.
A) After how many seconds does the ball reach it's maximum height? What is the maximum height?
B) How many seconds does it take until the ball finally hits the ground?

Answer:

See below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

A).  s(t)= -16t^2+64t+200

Converting to vertex form.

s(t) = -16 (t^2 - 4t) + 200

s(t) =  -16 [(t - 2)^2 - 4] + 200

s(t) = -16(t - 2)^2 + 64 + 200

s(t) =  -16(t - 2)^2 + 264

The maximum height is after 2 seconds and it is 264 feet.

B) The ball hits the ground when s(t) = 0 so we have:

-16t^2+64t+200 = 0

x [-64 +/- sqrt (64^2 - 4*-16*200) ] / -32

x = 6.06, -2.06

So the answer is 6.06 seconds.

Function g can be thought of as a scaled version of f(x)=x^2
labwork [276]

Answer:

g(x)=2x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

If you look at (1,1) for the blue function then (2,2) for g(x), you can kind of see that it is scaled by 2 (meaning its just twice as big). In another case you can see the blue function passing through (2,4), which matches with the point given to you for g(x), (4,8), which is twice as big.

6/8 is equivalent to 3/4.how can you use this to help you write 6/8 as a decimal ?
Dafna1 [17]
So 3/4 of 100 is 75 , same with 6/8 of 100 . they're equivalent fractions . so you could write 0.75 , as 1 is the whole .

Using cosine law:
 24 ^ 2 = 10 ^ 2 + 16 ^ 2 -2 * 10 * 16 * cos (G)
 Clearing we have:
 cos (G) = (24 ^ 2-10 ^ 2-16 ^ 2) / (- 2 * 10 * 16)
 cos (G) = - 0.6875
 Clearing the angle:
 G = acos (-0.6875)
 G = 133.4325366
 Rounding:
 G = 133.4
 Answer:
 
G = 133.4
