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.

What is a sequence of transformations?
Lunna [17]

Answer:

In mathematics, a sequence transformation is an operator acting on a given space of sequences (a sequence space). ... Sequence transformations are also commonly used to compute the antilimit of a divergent series numerically, and are used in conjunction with extrapolation methods.

Katena32 [7]
<span>1.
"The spending limit on John’s credit card is given by the function f(x)=15,000+1.5x"

means that if the monthly income of John is $ 5,000 ,he can spend at most 

f(5,000)=15,000+1.5*5,000=15,000+ 7,500=22, 500 (dollars)

Or for example

if Johns monthly income is $8,000, then he can spend at most

 </span>f(8,000)=15,000+1.5*8,000=15,000+ 12,000=27,000 (dollars)<span>


2.
Now, assume that the maximum amount that John can spend is y.

Then, y=15,000+1.5x

we can express x, the monthly income, in terms of y by isolating x:

</span>y=15,000+1.5x
<span>
1.5x = y-15,000


</span>x= \frac{y-15,000}{1.5}
<span>
thus, in functional notation, x, the monthly income, is a function , say g, of variable y, the max amount:

</span>x=g(y)=\frac{y-15,000}{1.5}

since we generally use the letter x for the variable of a function, we write g again as:

g(x)=\frac{x-15,000}{1.5}
<span>
for example :

</span>g(50,000)=\frac{50,000-15,000}{1.5}= \frac{35,000}{1.5}= 23,333
<span>
tells us that if the maximum amount that John can spend is 50,000 $, then his monthly income is 23,333 $.

3.

If John's limit is $60,000, his monthly income is 

</span>g(60,000)=\frac{60,000-15,000}{1.5}= \frac{45,000}{1.5}=30,000<span>
 dollars.


Answer: $ 30,000

Remark: g is called the inverse function of f, since it undoes what f does.

instead of g(x), we could use the notation </span>f ^{-1}(x)<span>
