Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part of the definition of a polynomial is that the exponents have to be non-negative integers.  In other words, it cannot have a fraction as an exponent or an imaginary number.  Our polynomial has real non-negative exponents, so it is in fact a polynomial.  The degree is found in the highest exponent of the polynomial.  Ours is a 5th degree.  The leading coefficient is the number stuck to the x that has the highest degree.  Therefore, our leading coefficient is -16.  B is your choice.

The volume of the cube is 216 cubic units what is the side length
Naddik [55]

The side length is six units.

A cube has three measurements: length, width, and height

All the measurements have to be the same.

This allows you to cube root.

The cube root of 216 is 6.

The side length of the cube is 6 units.

Check:

6 * 6 * 6 = 216.

It is correct, so our answer is proven to be correct.

Please can u help me with this<br><br> Thank u:)

H=-16t² +v(0)t+h(0)
v(0)=192
h=-16t² +192t+h(0)
 h(0) should be  0, because the mortar sits on the ground.
h= - 16t²+192t
This function will have maximum because it has minus  before x², and parabola is looking down.

h=-(16t²-192t)=-(16t² -2*4t*24+24²)+24²
h=-(4t-24)²+24²
h=-(4t-24)²+576 
vertex (24 feet, 576 feet)
24 feet horizontally from the mortar and 576 feet up
