A ball is launched upward at 20 meters per second (m/s) from a 60 meter tall platform. The equation for the object's height s at

time t seconds after launch is s(t) = –4.9t2 + 20t + 60, where s is in meters.
What is the height above the ground when the object is launched?
How long before the object hits the ground after launch?
What is the maximum height of the object?

we are given

s(t)=-4.9t^2+20t+60

(a)

we can plug t=0

s(0)=-4.9(0)^2+20(0)+60

s(0)=60

so, the height above the ground when the object is launched is 60 meter......Answer

(b)

we can set s(t)=0

and then we can solve for t

s(t)=-4.9t^2+20t+60=0

-4.9t^2+20t+60=0

we can use quadratic formula

t=\frac{-200-\sqrt{200^2-4\left(-49\right)600}}{2\left(-49\right)}

we get

t=6.0917seconds..........Answer

(c)

we can find vertex

t=\frac{-20}{2*-4.9}

t=2.040816

now, we can plug it back

s(2.040816)=-4.9(2.040816)^2+20(2.040816)+60

s(2.040816)=80.408

so, the maximum height is 80.408meter.........Answer

Arisa [49]

Complete question :

A 12-foot by 15-foot patio is increased by placing a stone border around the patio. The width of the border is the same all around the patio.The perimeter of the patio after it is expanded is 74 feet. The equation which represents x, the width of the border is 2[(12+2x)+15+2x)]=74. What is the width of the border?

1) 2 1/2 feet

2) 3 feet

4) 5 feet

5) 8 1/2 feet

Answer:

2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for X in the perimeter equation :

2[(12+2x)+15+2x)]=74

Open the bracket

2[(12 + 2x + 15 + 2x)] = 74

2(27 + 4x) = 74

54 + 8x = 74

8x = 74 - 54

8x = 20

x = 20/8

x = 2.5

Hence, width fo border = 2.5
