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

ou originally draw a design for an art contest on a 2 in. x 5 in. card. The second phase of the contest requires the drawing to
valentina_108 [34]

Since the largest size of one of the dimensions is 10.5, it has to correspond with the long side of the card, the 5 in. side. To find the proportion of the sides, divide 10.5 by 5. Then, multiply the other side of the card by the quotient.

10.5/5 = 2.1

2.1 * 2 = 4.2

4.2in is the shorter side. Your question asks to round to the nearest tenths, the smallest place value of the answer is already the tenths place.
