Answer: $2\sqrt{5} \\$ + $4\sqrt{5}$

The square root of 20 simplified is $2\sqrt{5} \\$

And the square root of 80 simplified is $4\sqrt{5}$

So it would look like $2\sqrt{5} \\$ + $4\sqrt{5}$

A juggler tosses a ball into the air . The balls height, h and time t seconds can be represented by the equation h(t)= -16t^2+40

malfutka [58]

PART A

The given equation is

$h(t) = - 16 {t}^{2} + 40t + 4$

In order to find the maximum height, we write the function in the vertex form.

We factor -16 out of the first two terms to get,

$h(t) = - 16 ({t}^{2} - \frac{5}{2} t) + 4$

We add and subtract

$- 16(- \frac{5}{4} )^{2}$

to get,

$h(t) = - 16 ({t}^{2} - \frac{5}{2} t) + - 16( - \frac{5}{4})^{2} - -16( - \frac{5}{4})^{2} + 4$

We again factor -16 out of the first two terms to get,

$h(t) = - 16 ({t}^{2} - \frac{5}{2} t + ( - \frac{5}{4})^{2} ) - -16( - \frac{5}{4})^{2} + 4$

This implies that,

$h(t) = - 16 ({t}^{2} - \frac{5}{2} t + ( - \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} ) + 16( \frac{25}{16}) + 4$

The quadratic trinomial above is a perfect square.

$h(t) = - 16 ( t- \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} +25+ 4$

This finally simplifies to,

$h(t) = - 16 ( t- \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} +29$

The vertex of this function is

$V( \frac{5}{4} ,29)$

The y-value of the vertex is the maximum value.

Therefore the maximum value is,

$29$

PART B

When the ball hits the ground,

$h(t) = 0$

This implies that,

$- 16 ( t- \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} +29 = 0$

We add -29 to both sides to get,

$- 16 ( t- \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} = - 29$

This implies that,

$( t- \frac{5}{4}) ^{2} = \frac{29}{16}$

$t- \frac{5}{4} = \pm \sqrt{ \frac{29}{16} }$

$t = \frac{5}{4} \pm \frac{ \sqrt{29} }{4}$

$t = \frac{ 5 + \sqrt{29} }{4} = 2.60$

or

$t = \frac{ 5 - \sqrt{29} }{4} = - 0.10$

Since time cannot be negative, we discard the negative value and pick,

$t = 2.60s$

A carton has a length of 2 2/3 feet, width of 1 1/3 feet, and a height of 1 1/2. What is the volume of the carton? A( 4 cubic fe

notsponge [240]

Answer:

The volume of the carton is 5 1/3 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A carton has a length of 2 2/3 feet, width of 1 1/3 feet, and a height of 1 1/2.

The dimensions can be rewritten as

Length of carton =2 2/3 = 8/3 converting to improper fraction).

width of 1 1/3 feet = 4/3 feet

and a height of 1 1/2= 3/2 ,feet

volume of the carton = length of the carton × width of the carton × height of the carton

Volume of carton = 8/3 ×4/3 × 3/2

= 96/18 cubic feet

Converting to mixed fractions, we have

96/18= 5 1/3 cubic feet

If you apply the changes below to the absolute value parent function, f(x) = |x|, what is the equation of the new function?Shift

Serjik [45]

Answer: C

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The general form of the equation is: g(x) = a|x - h| + k ;

"a" represents the vertical stretch <em>(or shrink)</em>
"h" represents the x-coordinate of the vertex (left and right)
"k" represents the y-coordinate of the vertex (up and down)

4 units left means h = 4

2 units up means k = 2

--> g(x) = |x - 4| + 2
