Answer:

39.0625 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the function is a quadratic representing height, and the coefficient of the t² is negative, the vertex of the parabola will be the maximum height achieved by the ball.  

The general form for a quadratic equation is ax² + bx + c, here a is -16, and b is 50

To find the x coordinate of the vertex, use   x = -b/(2a)

We have x = -50/[2(-16)]

               

                  x = -50/-32

             

                         x= 25/16

Now plug that into the equation to find the y value, which will be the height...

y = 50(25/16) - 16(25/16)²

    y = 1250/16 - 16(625/256)

        y = 1250/16 - 625/16

              y = 625/16

                   y = 39.0625

vivado [14]

Answer:

4 11/12

Step-by-step explanation:

4 x 2/3 = 8/12

3 x 5/4 = 15/ 12

8/12 + 15/12 = 23/12 = 1 11/12 + 3 = 4 11/12

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard equation for a circle with center h,k and radius r

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

so for this one   center =  (1,2)   radius = 4

A cylindrical tank holds 352 cu. ft. of water. The height of the tank is 7 ft. Find the
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

0.3334 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Measure the height and radius of the tank. The radius is the distance from the center of the tank to its outer edge. Another way to find the radius is to divide the diameter, or width, by two. Square the radius by multiplying the radius times itself and then multiply it by 3.1416, which is the constant pi.

  1. Given height and volume: r = √(V / (π * h)),
  2. Given height and lateral area: r = A_l / (2 * π * h),
  3. Given height and total area: r = (√(h² + 2 * A / π) - h) / 2,
  4. Given height and diagonal: r = √(h² + d²) / 2,
  5. Given height and surface-area-to-volume ratio: r = 2 * h / (h * SA:V - 2),
  6. Given volume and lateral area: r = 2 * V / A_l,
  7. Given base area: r = √(A_b / (2 * π)),
  8. Given lateral area and total area: r = √((A - A_l) / (2 * π)).
