Answer:

m<bec = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

3x +2x +x = 180 (combine like terms)

6x = 180 (divide 180 by 6 to get x alone on one side of the equation)

x = 30

BUT you're not done yet because it asked for m<bec which is 2x so you have to multiply 30(2) which is 60

f(0) = -3(0) + 5 = 5

f(-4) = -3(-4) + 5 = 17

f(6) = ½(6) - 4 = -1

f(9) = 2

f(2) = ½(2) - 4 = -3

Using the restraints, find which equation the f(x) function validates and plug it in.

Answer:

y = -16 (x - 1)^2 + 112

The object lands on the ground in approximately 3.6s

Explanation:

The equation given is that of a parabola.

Now the maximum (local) point of a parabola is the vertex. Therefore, if we want to rewrite our function in the form that would be used to find the maximum height, then that form must be the vertex form of a parabola.

The vertex form of a parabola is

$y=a(t-h)^2+k$

where (h, k) is the vertex.

The only question is, what is the vertex for our function h(t)?

Remember that if we have an equation of the form

$y=ax^2+bx+c$

then the x-coordinate of the vertex is

$h=-\frac{b}{2a}$

Now in our case b = 32 and a = -16; therefore,

$h=\frac{-32}{2(16)}=1$

We've found the value of the x-coordinate of the vertex. What about the y-coordinate? To get the y-coordinate, we put x = 1 into h(t) and get

$k=-16(1)+32(1)+96=112$

Hence, the y-coordindate is k = 112.

Therefore, the vertex of the parabola is (1, 112).

With the coordinates of the vertex in hand, we now write the equation of the parabola in vertex form.

$h(t)=a(t-1)^2+112$

The only problem is that we don't know what the value of a is. How do we find a?

Note that the point (0, 96) lies on the parabola. In other words,

$h(0)=-16(0)^2+32(0)+96=96$

Therefore, the vertex form of the parabola must also contain the point (0, 96).

Putting in t = 0, h = 96 into the vertex form gives

$96=a(0-1)^2+112$ $96=a+112$

subtracting 112 from both sides gives

$a=-16$

With the value of a in hand, we can finally write the equation of the parabola on vertex form.

$\boxed{h\mleft(t\mright)=-16\left(t-1\right)^2+112.}$

Now when does the object hit the ground? In other words, for what value of t is h(t) = 0? To find out we just have to solve the following for t.

$h(t)=0.$

We could either use h(t) = -16t^2 + 32t + 96 or the h(t) = -16(t - 1)^2 + 112 for the above equation. But it turns out, the vertex form is more convenient.

Thus we solve,
