Answer:

The maximum height the ball reaches is 64 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is f(x) = -16·(x - 2)² + 64

From the equation, the path described by the ball is an inverted n-shaped parabola

The maximum height is therefore, the tip of the parabola

At the maximum height, the slope = 0 because the tip is momentarily flat

Since the slope (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)  = The derivative Δy/Δx, we find the derivative of the function and equate it to zero to find the coordinates at the  maximum height

Δy/Δx = dy/dx = d(-16·(x - 2)² + 64)/dx = -32·(x - 2) = -32·x + 64

To check if it is a maximum, we have;

d²y/dx² = d(-32·x + 64)/dx = -32 which is negative, indicating that the slope is reducing and we at the maximum point of the slope

Therefore for the maximum height Δy/Δx = dy/dx = -32·x + 64 = 0

64 = 32·x

x = 64/32 = 2 seconds

We now have the x-value at the slope, the f(x) value, is therefore;

f(2) = -16·(2 - 2)² + 64 = 64 feet

Therefore, the maximum height the ball reaches is 64 feet.

Three numbers a;b; 9; ... are in geometric sequence. If 1 is subtracted from the first term then
kenny6666 [7]

if a b 9 are in GP

b÷a = 9 ÷ b

b^2 = 9a

if a - 1 b 9 are in AP

2b = a+8

b = a+8÷2

substitute

b is equal to a + 8 by 2 in b square equal to 9 a

(a+8÷2)^2 = 9a

a^2+16a+64 = 36a

a^2 -20a +64 =0

(a-16) (a-4) =0

a= 16 or a=4

when a=16 b= 12

when a=4 b= 6

Value of a and b are given above
