Given that the equation to find the height of the firework is

h(t) = at² + vt + h₀

with a = -16 ft/s² and v = 128 ft/s. In addition, since the firework starts from the ground, then the initial height, h₀, is equal to 0. Substituting these values, we have

h(t) = -16t² + 128t + 0 = -16t² + 128t

Seeing that h(t) is a quadratic function, then it forms a parabola. To find its maximum height, we can compute for the parabola's vertex. 

To find the vertex's x-coordinate, we can use 

t = -b/2a = (-128)/(2 · -16) = -128/-32 = 4

Since, it takes 4 seconds for the firework to reach its maximum height, then the maximum height it reaches is equal to h(4). Hence, we have

h(4) = -16(4)² + 128(4) = -16(16) + 512 = 256

Hence, the highest that the firework can reach is equal to 256 ft. 

Answer: A. 256 ft

The figure shows the construction steps to bisect an angle. The steps are in an incorrect order. What is the correct order of th
klemol [59]

Answer:

The correct order of the steps is CEABD ⇒ B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us arrange the figures

To construct a bisector of an angle

First: Draw angle AOB

First step is figure C

Second: Place the pin of the compass on point O and draw an arc intersects the two sides of the angle OA and OB at points D and E

Second step is figure E

Third: Place the compass on point D and draw an arc in the interior of the angle

Third step is figure A

Fourth: without change the open of the compass place its pin on point E and draw an arc which intersects the arc drawn from point D at point C

Fourth step is figure B

Fifth: Draw a line from point A to point C, this line AC is the bisector of angle AOB

Fifth step is figure D

The correct order of the steps is CEABD

2470.28277045 To 3 decimal places
jeka57 [31]

To run the these figures to 3 decimal places

you need to count from the digit after the decimal point until you reach the 3rd number which is 2

so now the answer is 2470.283

This is because the decimal point lies between 2 and 7 and since 7 is great than 5 we add 1 to the 2 making it 3
