A football is kicked toward an end zone with an initial vertical velocity of 30 ft/s. The function h(t) = -16+ 30t models the he

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

A. The football does not reach a height of 15ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$h(t) = -16t^2 + 30t$

Required

Determine which of the options is true

The option illustrates the height reached by the ball.

To solve this, we make use of maximum of a function

For a function f(x)

Such that:

$f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$ :

$f(\frac{-b}{2a}) = maximum/minimum$

i.e we first solve for $\frac{-b}{2a}$

Then substitute $\frac{-b}{2a}$ for x in $f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$

In our case:

First we need to solve $\frac{-b}{2a}$

Then substitute $\frac{-b}{2a}$ for t in $h(t) = -16t^2 + 30t$

By comparison:

$b = 30$

$c = -16$

$\frac{-b}{2a} = \frac{-30}{2 * -16}$

$\frac{-b}{2a} = \frac{-30}{-32}$

$\frac{-b}{2a} = \frac{30}{32}$

$\frac{-b}{2a} = \frac{15}{16}$

Substitute $\frac{15}{16}$ for t in $h(t) = -16t^2 + 30t$

$h(\frac{15}{16}) = -16(\frac{15}{16})^2 + 30(\frac{15}{16})$

$h(\frac{15}{16}) = -16(\frac{225}{256}) + \frac{450}{16}$

$h(\frac{15}{16}) = -(\frac{225}{16}) + \frac{450}{16}$

$h(\frac{15}{16}) = \frac{-225 + 450}{16}$

$h(\frac{15}{16}) = \frac{225}{16}$

$h(\frac{15}{16}) = 14.0625$

This implies that the maximum height reached is 14.0625ft.

So, the option that answers the question is A because $14.0625 < 15$

Write an exponential function whose graph contains the points (1, 6) and (0, 2).

12345 [234]

Answer:

y = 2 $(3)^{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential function is of the form

y = a $(b)^{x}$

To find a and b substitute the given points into the equation

Using (0, 2), then

2 = a $(b)^{0}$ ⇒ a = 2

Using (1, 6), then

6 = 2 $(b)^{1}$ ⇒ b = 3

Equation is y = 2 $(3)^{x}$
