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.

1. Y varies inversely with x. If y = 9 when x = -5, find the value of x when y=-6.
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 )  Y∝ 1 / X

Y = k / X

Y = 9 , X = -5

Putting the values in the relation above

9 = k / - 5

k = -45

Y = - 45 / X

Put Y = - 6

- 6 = - 45 / X

X = - 45 / -6

= 7.5

Luke and Nora can peel 12 carrots in 5 minutes

in 1 minute Luke and Nora can peel 12 / 5 carrot

in 1 minute Luke alone   can peel 12/ 11 carrot .

In 1 minute Nora alone will peel (12 / 5 -  12/ 11  ) carrot

(12 / 5 -  12 / 11  )

= 2.4 - 1.1

= 1.3 carrot

In 1 minute Nora alone will peel 1.3 carrot

1.3 carrot in 1 minute

8 carrot in 8 / 1.3 minute

= 6.15 minutes.

In 1 minute Nora alone will peel 8 carrot in 6.15 minutes working alone.

The people of Whoville were shopping like crazy to get their lists completed! one customer bought a wreath for $12 and seven orn
Bezzdna [24]

Answer: 6 dollars

Step-by-step explanation: since the total price is 54 dollars and we know the price of the wreath, we subtract the wreath from the total, leaving us with 42. Then we do 42 divided by 7 to get the price per ornament(which is too high to be reasonable in any universe), 6 dollars.

Draw Conclusions The decimal 0.3 represents What type of number best describes 0.9, which is 3.0.3? Explain
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

The product represent the number 3\times 0.3=0.9

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : The decimal 0.3 represents What type of number best describes 0.9, which is 3.0.3?

Solution :

0.3 represents 0.3=\frac{3}{10}

0.9 represents 0.9=\frac{9}{10}

If we multiply 0.3 by 3 we get 0.9

As, 3\times 0.3=3\times \frac{3}{10}

3\times 0.3=\frac{9}{10}

3\times 0.3=0.9

Therefore, The product represent the number 3\times 0.3=0.9
