If a ball is thrown directly upward with a velocity of 50ft/s, it's height (in feet) after t seconds is given by y=50t-16t^2 wha

t is the maximum height attained by the ball

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

Evaluate the line integral, where C is the given curve. C (x + yz) dx + 2x dy + xyz dz, C consists of line segments (1, 0, 1) to
Bess [88]

Parameterize the first line segment C_1 by

\vec r(t)=(1,0,1)(1-t)+(2,4,1)t=(1+t,4t,1)

and the second line segment C_2 by

\vec s(t)=(2,4,1)(1-t)+(2,6,4)t=(2,4+2t,1+3t)

both with 0\le t\le1. Then

\displaystyle\int_{C_1}(x+yz)\,\mathrm dx+2x\,\mathrm dy+xyz\,\mathrm dz

\displaystyle=\int_0^1\bigg((1+5t)\cdot1+2(1+t)\cdot4+(1-t)4t\cdot0\bigg)\,\mathrm dt

=\displaystyle\int_0^1(9+13t)\,\mathrm dt=\frac{31}2

and

\displaystyle\int_{C_2}(x+yz)\,\mathrm dx+2x\,\mathrm dy+xyz\,\mathrm dz

\displaystyle=\int_0^1\bigg((2+(4+2t)(1+3t))\cdot0+2(2)\cdot2+2(4+2t)(1+3t)\cdot3\bigg)\,\mathrm dt

\displaystyle=\int_0^1(32+84t+36t^2)\,\mathrm dt=86

Then

\displaystyle\int_C(x+yz)\,\mathrm dx+2x\,\mathrm dy+xyz\,\mathrm dz=\frac{31}2+86=\boxed{\frac{203}2}
