During halftime of a football game, a slingshot launcher’s T-shirts at the crowd. A T-shirt is launch from a height of 3 feet wi

th an initial upward velocity of 64 ft./s. The T-shirt is caught at 45 feet above the field how long will it take the T-shirt to reach its maximum height? What is the maximum height? What is the range of the function of models the height of the T-shirt over time

Answer:

Part A) The time it will take to the shirt to reach its maximum height is 2 seconds

Part B) The maximum height is 67 feet

Part C) The range is the interval [3,67]

3\leq h\leq 67

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we know that the equation is of the form

h(t) = -16t^2 + v_0t + h_0

where

-16 is the gravitational constant,

v₀ is the initial velocity in feet per second

h₀ is the initial height in feet

substitute the given values

h(t) = -16t^2 + 64t + 3

Part A) How long will it take the T-shirt to reach its maximum height?

we know that

The x-coordinate of the vertex is the time that it will take to the T-shirt to reach its maximum height

we have

h(t) = -16t^2 + 64t + 3

This is the equation of a vertical parabola open downward

The vertex represent a maximum

Convert the quadratic equation into vertex form

Factor -16

h(t) = -16(t^2 -4t) + 3

Complete the square

h(t) = -16(t^2 -4t+4) + 3+64

h(t) = -16(t^2 -4t+4) + 67

Rewrite as perfect squares

h(t) = -16(t-2)^2) + 67

The vertex is the point (2,67)

therefore

The time it will take to the shirt to reach its maximum height is 2 seconds

Part B) What is the maximum height?

we know that

The maximum height is equal to the y-coordinate of the vertex of the quadratic equation

The vertex is the point (2,67)

therefore

The maximum height is 67 feet

Part C) What is the range of the function of models the height of the T-shirt over time

we know that

The initial height is 3 feet, the maximum height is 67 feet and the T-shirt is caught at 45 feet above the field

so

The range is the interval [3,67]

3\leq h\leq 67

How many solutions does the system of equations below have?
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

One solution                    

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + y = 8

15x + 15y = 14

Lets solve using substitution, first we need to turn "5x + = 8" into "y = mx + b" or slope - intercept form

So we solve for "y" in the equation "5x + y = 8"

5x + y = 8

Step 1: Subtract 5x from both sides.

5x + y − 5x = 8 − 5x

Step 2: 5x subtracted by 5x cancel out and "8 - 5x" are flipped

y = −5x + 8

Now we can solve using substitution:

We substitute "-5x + 8" into the equation "15x + 15y = 14" for y

So it would look like this:

15x + 15(-5x + 8) = 14

Now we just solve for x

15x + (15)(−5x) + (15)(8) = 14(Distribute)

15x − 75x + 120 = 14

(15x − 75x) + (120) = 14(Combine Like Terms)

−60x + 120 = 14

Step 2: Subtract 120 from both sides.

−60x + 120 − 120 = 14 − 120

−60x = −106

Divide both sides by -60

\dfrac{ -60x  }{ -60  }   =   \dfrac{ -106  }{ -60  }

Simplify

x =   \dfrac{ 53  }{ 30  }

Now that we know the value of x, we can solve for y in any of the equations, but let's use the equation "y = −5x + 8"

\mathrm{So\:it\:would\:look\:like\:this:\ y =  -5 \left(  \dfrac{ 53  }{ 30  }    \right)  +8}

\mathrm{Now\:lets\:solve\:for\:"y"\:then}

y =  -5 \left(  \dfrac{ 53  }{ 30  }    \right)  +8}

\mathrm{Express\: -5 \times   \dfrac{ 53  }{ 30  }\:as\:a\:single\:fraction}

y =   \dfrac{ -5 \times  53  }{ 30  }  +8

\mathrm{Multiply\:-5 \:and\:53\:to\:get\:-265 }

y =   \dfrac{ -265  }{ 30  }  +8

\mathrm{Simplify\:  \dfrac{ -265  }{ 30  }    \:,by\:dividing\:both\:-265\:and\:30\:by\:5} }

y =   \dfrac{ -265 \div  5  }{ 30 \div  5  }  +8

\mathrm{Simplify}

y =  - \dfrac{ 53  }{ 6  }  +8

\mathrm{Turn\:8\:into\:a\:fraction\:that\:has\:the\:same\:denominator\:as\: - \dfrac{ 53  }{ 6  }}

\mathrm{Multiples\:of\:1: \:1,2,3,4,5,6}

\mathrm{Multiples\:of\:6: \:6,12,18,24,30,36,42,48}

\mathrm{Convert\:8\:to\:fraction\:\dfrac{ 48  }{ 6  }}

y =  - \dfrac{ 53  }{ 6  }  + \dfrac{ 48  }{ 6  }

\mathrm{Since\: - \dfrac{ 53  }{ 6  }\:have\:the\:same\:denominator\:,\:add\:them\:by\:adding\:their\:numerators}

y =   \dfrac{ -53+48  }{ 6  }

\mathrm{Add\: -53 \: and\: 48\: to\: get\:  -5}

y =  - \dfrac{ 5  }{ 6  }

\mathrm{The\:solution\:is\:the\:ordered\:pair\:(\dfrac{ 53  }{ 30  }, - \dfrac{ 5  }{ 6  })}

So there is only one solution to the equation.

Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation. If necessary, round to the nearest hundredth.
Bad White [126]

Answer:

The final answers are x = 1 OR x = -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation is x^2 -3 = -2x

Rewriting it in quadratic form as:- x^2 +2x -3 = 0.

a = 1, b = 2, c = -3.

Using Quadratic formula as follows:- x = ( -b ± √(b² -4ac) ) / (2a)

x = ( -2 ± √(4 -4*1*-3) ) / (2*1)

x = ( -2 ± √(4 +12) ) / (2)

x = ( -2 ± √(16) ) / (2)

x = ( -2 ± 4 ) / (2)

x = (-2+4) / (2) OR x = (-2-4) / (2)

x = 2/2 OR x = -6/2

x = 1 OR x = -3

Hence, final answers are x = 1 OR x = -3.

Sylvia plans to place 617 stamps in an album. Each page of the album holds 5 stamps. She uses division to find out how many full
bija089 [108]

Answer:

123 full pages

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total\ Stamps = 617\ stamps

Each\ Page = 5\ stamps

Required

Determine the number of full page

To do this, we simply divide the total stamps by stamps in each page;

Pages = \frac{Total\ Stamps}{Each\ Page}

Pages = \frac{617}{5}

Pages = 123.4

Then we record only the quotient

The quotient is the digits before the decimal

Pages = 123

<em>Hence, she has 123 full pages</em>
