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

The lengths of the sides of a triangle are represented by 3 consecutive even integers. if the perimeter of the triangle is 72 fe
iris [78.8K]
P = a + b + c
P = 72
a = x
b = x + 2
c = x + 4

72 = x + x + 2 + x + 4
72 = 3x + 6
72 - 6 = 3x
66 = 3x
66/3 = x
22 = x

x + 2 = 22 + 2 = 24
x + 4 = 22 + 4 = 26

the sides of ur triangle are : 22,24,26 <==
