Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple slope question, apply the slope formula

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(3-7)/(4- -2)

m=(-4)/(6)

simplify

m=-2/3

If P is the orthocenter of △ABC, AB = 13, BF = 9,and FC = 5.6, find each measure & the perimeter of triangle ABC.

Answer:

$Perimeter = 38.6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$A\ B = 13$

$B\ F = 9$

$F\ C = 5.6$

Required

Calculate the perimeter of A B C

To calculate the perimeter of A B C, we sum up the sides of the triangle

i.e.

$Perimeter = A B + B\ C + A\ C$

AB is given in the question already.

So, we need to calculate B F and F C

To solve for BF, we consider triangle B F C

Using Pythagoras Theorem, we have:

$B\ C^2 = B\ F^2 + F\ C^2$

Substitute values for BF and FC;

$B\ C^2 = 9^2 + 5.6^2$

$B\ C^2 = 81 + 31.36$

$B\ C^2 = 112.36$

$B\ C^2= \sqrt{112.36$

$B\ C = 10.6$

Next, we calculate A C.

To calculate A C, we need to calculate A F, considering triangle B F A

Using Pythagoras Theorem, we have:

$A\ B^2 = B\ F^2 + A\ F^2$

Substitute values for B F and A B;

$13^2 = 9^2 + A\ F^2$

$169= 81 + A\ F^2$

$A\ F^2 = 169 - 81$

$A\ F^2 = 88$

$A\ F = \sqrt{88$

$A\ F = 9.4$

Since F lies on line A C:

$A\ C = A\ F + F\ C$

$A\ C = 9.4 + 5.6$

$A\ C = 15.0$

Recall that:

$Perimeter = A\ B + B\ C + A\ C$

$Perimeter = 13 + 10.6 + 15.0$

$Perimeter = 38.6$

<em>Hence, the perimeter is 38.6</em>

A ball is shot into the air using a brand new super-high-tech robotic arm to help baseball players practice catch fly balls.

stepladder [879]

Answer:

69 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$h(t)=-16t^{2}+64t+5$

where

h(t) is the height of the ball

t is the time in seconds

we know that the given equation is a vertical parabola open downward

The vertex is the maximum

so

the y-coordinate of the vertex represent the maximum height of the ball

Convert the quadratic equation into vertex form

The equation in vertex form is equal to

$y=(x-h)^{2}+k$

where

(h,k) is the vertex of the parabola

$h(t)=-16t^{2}+64t+5$

$h(t)-5=-16t^{2}+64t$

$h(t)-5=-16(t^{2}-4t)$

$h(t)-5-64=-16(t^{2}-4t+4)$

$h(t)-69=-16(t^{2}-4t+4)$

$h(t)-69=-16(t-2)^{2}$

$h(t)=-16(t-2)^{2}+69$

the vertex is the point (2,69)

therefore

The maximum height is 69 ft
