Answer:

  1. 1.875 seconds to reach the maximum height
  2. 62.25 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem can be solved by putting the equation into vertex form.

  s - 6 = -16(t^2 -15/4t)

  s -6 -16(15/8)^2 = -16(t^2 -15/4t +(15/8)^2) . . . . add the square of half the x-coefficient inside parentheses and equivalent amount on the other side of the equation

  s -62.25 = -16(t -15/8)^2 . . . . write as a square, simplify the constant

  s = -16(t -1.875)^2 +62.25 . . . . put in vertex form

The vertex of the downward-opening parabola is at (t, s) = (1.875, 62.25).

1. It took 1.875 seconds for the ball to reach its maximum height.

2. The ball went up to 62.25 feet.

Chuck and Dana agree to meet in Chicago for the weekend. Chuck travels 104 miles in the same time that Dana travels 96 miles. If
Yanka [14]

Answer: Chuck's travel at a rate of 52mph

Step-by-step explanation:

For Chuck's trip:

D=RT

104= (R+4)T

T= 104 / (R+4)

For Dana's trip:

96 = RT

T= 96/R

Set both equation for Chuck's and Dana together

104/(R+4) =96/R

Then we cross multiply

96(R+4) = 104R

96R + 384 = 104R

104R - 96R = 384

8R = 384

To get R, divide both side by 8

8R/8 = 384/8

R= 48mph

This means Dana's speed is 48mph

Chuck's speed will be: 48mph+4mph = 52mph

Answer:

The nth terms: 15,24,33,42,51,60,69,78,87,96,105...

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given by an = a + (n – 1)d. So, to find the nth term, substitute the given values a = 2 and d = 3 into the formula
