Answer:

42.25 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The height function is a parabola.  The maximum value of a negative parabola is at the vertex, which can be found with:

x = -b/2a

where a and b are the coefficients in y = ax² + bx + c.

Here, we have y = -16t² + 52t.  So a = -16 and b = 52.  The vertex is at:

t = -52 / (2×-16)

t = 13/8

Evaluating the function:

h(13/8) = -16(13/8)² + 52(13/8)

h(13/8) = -169/4 + 169/2

h(13/8) = 169/4

h(13/8) = 42.25

Answer:

42.25 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum height can be found by converting to vertex form:

h(t) = 52t - 16t^2

h(t) =   -16 (  t^2  - 3.25t)

h(t) = -16 [ (t - 1.625)^2 - 2.640625 ]

= -16(t - 1.625 ^2) + 42.25

Maximum height = 42.25 feet.

Another method of solving this is by using Calculus:

h(t) = 52t - 16t^2

Finding the derivative:

h'(t) = 52 - 32t

This = zero for  a maximum/minimum value.

52 - 32t = 0

t = 1.625 seconds at maximum height.

It is a maximum because  the  path is a parabola  which opens downwards. we know this because of the  negative coefficient of x^2.

Substituting in the original formula:h(t) = 52(1.625)- 16(1.625)^2

= 42.25 feet.

H(x) = x^2 + 1 k(x) = x – 2<br> (h + k)(2)=?
likoan [24]
First we will compute the h+k and then multiply the result by 2.
To add polynomials, we add terms whose variables are alike, for example:
we add the coefficients of x^2 together, the coefficients of x together and so on.

Therefore:
h + k = x^2 + 1 + x - 2 = x^2+x-1

Now, we will multiply this answer by 2 to get the final answer:
2(h+k) = 2(x^2+x-1) = 2x^2 + 2x -2

Solve the system by finding the determinants and using Cramer's Rule:<br> 2x - y = 4<br> 3x + y = 1
Ahat [919]

Answer:

<em>(1, - 2) </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - y = 4

3x + y = 1

A = \left[\begin{array}{cc}2&-1\\3&1\end{array}\right] = 2(1) - 3( - 1) =2 + 3 = 5

A_{x} = \left[\begin{array}{cc}4&-1\\1&1\end{array}\right] = 4(1) - 1(- 1) = 4 + 1 = 5

A_{y} = \left[\begin{array}{cc}2&4\\3&1\end{array}\right] = 2(1) - 4(3) = 2 - 12 = - 10

<em>x </em>= \frac{A_{x} }{A} =<em> 1</em>

<em>y </em>= \frac{A_{y} }{A} = <em>- 2</em>

<em>(1, - 2)</em>

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Continuous

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is continuous. It can be any measure of fraction or decimal depending on the side lengths. It has no restrictions to be only whole  numbers or a specific set of numbers.
