Answer:
- t = 1.5; it takes 1.5 seconds to reach the maximum height and 3 seconds to fall back to the ground.
Explanation:
<u>1) Explanation of the model:</u>
- Given: h(t) = -16t² + 48t
- This is a quadratic function, so the height is modeled by a patabola.
- This means that it has a vertex which is the minimum or maximu, height. Since the coefficient of the leading (quadratic) term is negative, the parabola opens downward and the vertex is the maximum height of the soccer ball.
<u>2) Axis of symmetry:</u>
- The axis of symmetry of a parabola is the vertical line that passes through the vertex.
- In the general form of the parabola, ax² + bx + c, the axis of symmetry is given by x = -b/(2a)
- In our model a = - 16, and b = 48, so you get: t = - ( 48) / ( 2 × (-16) ) = 1.5
<u>Conclusion</u>: since t = 1.5 is the axys of symmetry, it means that at t = 1.5 the ball reachs its maximum height and that it will take the same additional time to fall back to the ground, whic is a tolal of 1. 5 s + 1.5 s = 3.0 s.
Answer: t = 1.5; it takes 1.5 seconds to reach the maximum height and 3 seconds to fall back to the ground.
Answer:
nm
Step-by-step explanation:
n × m = nm ways
Part A:

The first step of completing the square is writing the expression

as

which expands to

.
We have the first two terms exactly the same with the function we start with:

and

but we need to add/subtract from the last term, 49, to obtain 41.
So the second step is to subtract -8 from the expression

The function in completing the square form is

Part B:
The vertex is obtained by equating the expression in the bracket from part A to zero


It means the curve has a turning point at x = -7
This vertex is a minimum since the function will make a U-shape.
A quadratic function

can either make U-shape or ∩-shape depends on the value of the constant

that goes with

. When

is (+), the curve is U-shape. When

(-), the curve is ∩-shape
Part C:
The symmetry line of the curve will pass through the vertex, hence the symmetry line is

This function is shown in the diagram below
Answer:
0.001831055
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, n = 16, p = 0.5, (1 - p) = 0.5 and x = 14
As per binomial distribution formula P(X = x) = nCx * p^x * (1 - p)^(n - x)
We need to calculate P(X = 14)
P(x =14) = 16C14 * 0.5^14 *(1-0.5)^2
= 120 * 0.5^14 *(1-0.5)^2
= 0.001831055
