A ball is thrown straight up from the top of a building 124 ft tall with an initial velocity of 64 ft per second. The height s(t

) (in feet) of the ball from the ground, at time t (in seconds), is given by s(t) = 124 + 64t − 16t2. Find the maximum height attained by the ball.

Answer:

246 ft is the maximum height

Step-by-step explanation:

The height h given above is a quadratic function. The graph of h as a function of time t gives a parabolic shape and the maximum height h occur at the vertex of the parabola. For a quadratic function of the form h = a t² + bt + c, the vertex is located at t = - b / 2a. Hence for h given above the vertex in the question s(t) = 124 + 64t − 16t², is at t

t = -64/2(-16) = 64/32 = 2 seconds

Thus, 2 seconds after the object was thrown, it reaches its highest point (maximum value of h) which is given by

h = -16(2)² + 64 (2) + 124 = 246eet

What function corresponds to the ordered pairs shown in the table?
Anettt [7]

well, we know it's a line, and to get the equation of any line all we need is two points, let's pick two from the table hmmmm say let's use (-3 , -7) and (3 , 11)

(\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-7})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{11}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{11}-\stackrel{y1}{(-7)}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{3}-\underset{x_1}{(-3)}}}\implies \cfrac{11+7}{3+3}\implies \cfrac{18}{6}\implies 3

\begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-7)}=\stackrel{m}{3}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-3)}) \\\\\\ y+7=3(x+3)\implies y+7=3x+9\implies y = 3x+2
