-4 (x - 5) + 3 (a - 7)

First, expand your problem. / Your problem should look like: -4x + 20 + 3a - 21
Second, simplify. / Your problem should look like: -4x + 3a - 1

Answer: -4x + 3a - 1 (C)

−4(x−5)+3(a−7)

Distribute:

=(−4)(x)+(−4)(−5)+(3)(a)+(3)(−7)

=−4x+20+3a+−21

Combine Like Terms:

=−4x+20+3a+−21

=(3a)+(−4x)+(20+−21)

=3a+−4x+−1

A ball is thrown vertically upward. After t seconds, its height h (in feet) is given by the function h(t) = 52t - 16t^2 . What i

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

42.25 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The height function is a parabola. The maximum value of a negative parabola is at the vertex, which can be found with:

x = -b/2a

where a and b are the coefficients in y = ax² + bx + c.

Here, we have y = -16t² + 52t. So a = -16 and b = 52. The vertex is at:

t = -52 / (2×-16)

t = 13/8

Evaluating the function:

h(13/8) = -16(13/8)² + 52(13/8)

h(13/8) = -169/4 + 169/2

h(13/8) = 169/4

h(13/8) = 42.25
