Answer:
The ball reached its maximum height of (
) in (
).
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is essentially asking one to find the vertex of the parabola formed by the given equation. One could plot the equation, but it would be far more efficient to complete the square. Completing the square of an equation is a process by which a person converts the equation of a parabola from standard form to vertex form.
The first step in completing the square is to group the quadratic and linear term:
Now factor out the coefficient of the quadratic term:
After doing so, add a constant such that the terms inside the parenthesis form a perfect square, don't forget to balance the equation by adding the inverse of the added constant term:
Now take the balancing term out of the parenthesis:
Simplify:
The x-coordinate of the vertex of the parabola is equal to the additive inverse of the numerical part of the quadratic term. The y-coordinate of the vertex is the constant term outside of the parenthesis. Thus, the vertex of the parabola is:
It would be the last option, (5, -4)
Answer:
y = (1/3)x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The product of the slopes of perpendicular lines is -1. That makes the slopes of perpendicular lines negative reciprocals. Since line p has slope -3, the slope of line t is 1/3. Also, line t passes through point (9, 2).
y = mx + b
m = slope
y = (1/3)x + b
Now we replace x and y with the x- and y-coordinates of the given point, respectively, and we solve for b.
2 = (1/3)(9) + b
2 = 3 + b
b = -1
Now we replace b with -1.
y = (1/3)x - 1

Answer:
-499,485.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can transform this to an arithmetic series by working it out in pairs:
6^2 - 7^2 = (6-7)(6+7) = -13
8^2 - 9^2 = (8-9)*8+9) = -17
10^2 - 11^2 = -1 * 21 = -21 and so on
The common difference is -4.
The number of terms in this series is (998 - 6) / 2 + 1
= 992/2 + 1 = 497.
Sum of n terms of an A.S:
= n/2 [2a1 + (n - 1)d
Here a1 = -13, n = 497, d = -4:
Sum = (497/2)[-26 - 4(497-1)]
= 497/2 * -2010
= -499,485.
