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

A cylindrical container of five rubber balls has a height of 30 centimeters and a diameter of 6 centimeters. Each ball in the co
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

There is 170 cm³ free space in the container.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cylindrical container: height = 18 cm ; diameter = 6 cm.

3 balls each have a radius of 3 cm.

Volume of a cylinder = π r² h

V = 3.14 * (3cm)² * 18 cm

V = 508.68 cm³

Volume of rubber ball = 4/3  π r³

V = 4/3 * 3.14 * (3cm)³

V = 113.04 cm³

113.04 cm³  * 3 balls = 339.12 cm³

508.68 cm³ - 339.12 cm³ = 169.56 cm³ or 170 cm³
