To get the maximum height, we first determine the time at which this maximum height is attained by differentiating the given equation and equating the differential to zero.
h(t) = -0.2t² + 2t
Differentiating,
dh(t) = -(0.2)(2)t + 2 = 0
The value of t is equal to 5. Substituting this time to the original equation,
h(t) = -0.2(5²) + 2(5) = 5 ft
Thus, the maximum height is 5 ft and since it will take 5 seconds for it to reach the maximum height, the total time for it to reach the ground is 10 seconds.
Answers: maximum height = 5 ft
time it will reach the ground = 10 s
Answer: 15 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, since the situation forms a right triangle (see attachment) we have to apply the next trigonometric function.
Tan α = opposite side / adjacent side
Where α is the angle of elevation to the sun, , the opposite side (x) is the height of the tree, and the adjacent side is the length of the shadow.
Replacing with the values given:
Tan 31 = x /25
Tan 31 (25) =x
x = 15 feet

Answer: Linda earns more interest
Step-by-step explanation:
Linda: 90000 x 1.06^3 -90000 = 17191.44
Bob: (90000 x 1.06 - 90000) x 3 = 16200
17191.44 > 16200
