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.

Answer:

160 m²

384 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a trapezium is given by :

A = 1/2(a + b)h

h = height ; a and b = lengths

From the diagram :

A = 1/2(12 + 20)10

A = 1/2(32)10

A = 16 * 10

A = 160 m²

2.)

Area of parallelogram = base * height

Base = 24 ; h = 16

A = 24 * 16

A = 384 m²

Faucet A flows at a rate of 100 liters per 5 minutes and Faucet B flows at a rate of 100 liters per 4 minutes into an empty pool
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

It will take both faucets 200 minutes to fill a pool with 9,000 liters of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the time it will take for both faucets to fill a pool with 9,000 liters of water

What we need here is to have a joint rate for both faucets;

For the first faucet, we have a rate of 100 liters per 5 minutes so this means in a minute;

100/5 = 20 liters per minute

For the second faucet, the per minute rate will be 100/4 = 25 liters per minute

So therefore, the joint rate will be;

25 liters per minute + 20 liters per minute = 45 liters per minute

So the time needed to fill 9,000 liters of water in a pool will be ;

9000 liters/ 45 liters per minute = 200 minutes
