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.

ch4aika [34]
To do this problem, we need one more piece of information. He need to know the percent of the quarters that are from New York.

If you had that number, just multiply it by 300.

For example, if 10% of the coins were from New York, just multiply by 0.1.
0.1 x 300 = 30

Find a complex number a+ ????????????????, with aand ???????? positive real numbers, such that (a+ ????????????????)3 = i.
stepan [7]

Answer:

The complex number is 0+i/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the imaginary part be x.

The complex number will be a+xi

Given:

real part =a

(a+xi)*3=i...............(i)

To find:

imaginary part

Solution:

3a + 3xi=i.............(ii)

Comparing real and imaginary parts of eq(ii).

3a=0  and 3x=1

a=0

x=1/3.
