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 cost of a customer smartphone bill can be modeled by the equation c=10g+50
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

c=10(g+5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The cost of customer smartphone bill is given by the equation as follows :

c=10g+50

Where

g is the number of gigabits of data the customer per month

We need to factor this cost polynomial

The common between 10 and 50 is 10

Taking 10 common. So,

c=10(g+5)

Hence, the required factor is equal to c=10(g+5).
