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.

An artist wants to frame a square painting with an area of 400 square inches if x is the length of the one side of the painting
tatuchka [14]

There is only one solution to the equation.  A quadratic equation has 2 solutions a positive and a negative, but since we are looking for length, the answer can only be postive.  Area= side^2

              400= x^2

         sqrt(400)=x

          20 inches = x  

The length of one side is 20 inches


check: 20*20 = 400, which is the area of the square painting.

how many ways are there to pick a sequence of two different letters of the alphabet that appear in the word Crab
Darina [25.2K]

Using permutations, it is found that there are 12 ways to pick a sequence of two different letters of the alphabet that appear in the word Crab .

The order in which the letters appears is important, as for example, ab is a difference sequence than ba, hence the <em>permutation formula</em> is used.

Permutation formula:

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by:

P_{(n,x)} = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!}

In this problem, 2 letters are picked from a set of 4, hence:

P_{(4,2)} = \frac{4!}{2!} = 12

There are 12 ways to pick a sequence of two different letters of the alphabet that appear in the word Crab .
