The function h(t) = −16t2 + 18t models the height, in feet, reached by a leopard t seconds after it jumps. What is the approxima
te maximum height of the jump?
1 answer:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
5 1/16 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
h(t) = -16t(t -18/16) . . . . put in intercept form
The function describes a parabola that opens downward. It has zeros at t=0 and t=9/8. The maximum height will be found at the vertex of the parabola, halfway between these zeros.
f(9/16) = (-16)(9/16)² +18(9/16) = 81/16 = 5 1/16 . . . . feet
The approximate maximum height of the leopard is 5 1/16 feet.

Answer: hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question
answer :
a) ( option D )
b) A = 1/2 (6)(3) ( option B )
c) Area of shaded region = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>a) Using integration with respect to x </u>
Area = ( note a = 10 )
= y^2/2 - 4y |⁷₄ + 10y - y^2/2 |¹⁰₇
= 33/2 - 12 + 30 - 51/2 = 9
hence the best integral from the options attached is option D
= [ 10x - x^2 /2 - x^2/2 - 9x ] ³₀
= 30 - 9/2 - 9/2 - 12 = 9
<u>b) Using Geometry </u>
Area = 1/2 * base * height
= 1/2 * 6 * 3
= 9
