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

Which linear inequality is shown on the graph?
AlekseyPX
Answer: choice C) x-y <= 2

======================================

Explanation:

The two points (0,-2) and (2,0) are on the boundary line. The boundary line equation is y = x-2. We find this equation through the use of the slope formula to find that m = 1. The y intercept is -2 so b = -2. Therefore, y = mx+b turns into y = 1x+(-2) which simplifies to y = x-2

The equation y = x-2 can be arranged to get x-y = 2 (subtract y from both sides; add 2 to both sides)

So the answer is either x-y <= 2 OR it is x-y >= 2

The question is: which inequality has the test point (0,0) in it? We pick on the origin since 0 is the easiest number to work with.

Plug (x,y) = (0,0) into the equation for choice C
x-y <= 2
0-0 <= 2
0 <= 2
which is true. So choice C is the answer.

Choice D can be ruled out since...
x-y >= 2
0-0 >= 2
0 >= 2
which is false: 0 is not larger or equal to 2

A passenger escalator travels from the first floor to the fifth floor a distance of 10 m in 10 seconds what is the escalator spe
Mumz [18]
It is presumed that the 10m is the vertical distance in 4 floors so 10meters divided by 10 seconds is 1m/second is the average speed of the escalator. Hard to add anything to this to make up to the required 40 words.

Find the number of real number solutions for the equation.x2 − 2x + 9 = 0
Talja [164]
Hi there!

We can use the discriminant of the quadratic formula to find the number of real solutions to this (or any other quadratic) equation.

The discriminant can be found by plugging in the data from the equation into the following formula:
d = {b}^{2} - 4ac \\ with \: y \: = a {x}^{2} + bx + c

When we fill in the data from the question we get
d = ( - 2) {}^{2} - 4 \times 1 \times 9 = 4 - 36 = - 32

Since d < 0 the equation has zero real solutions.
