Answer:
t = 3; It takes the ball 3 seconds to reach the maximum height and 6 seconds to fall back to the ground.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the axis of symmetry, we need to find the vertex by turning this equation into vertex form (this is y = a(x - c)² + d where (c, d) is the vertex). To do this, we can use the "completing the square" strategy.
h(t) = -16t² + 96t
= -16(t² - 6t)
= -16(t² - 6t + 9) - (-16) * 9
= -16(t - 3)² + 144
Therefore, we know that the vertex is (3, 144) so the axis of symmetry is t = 3. Since the coefficient of the squared term, -16, is negative, it means that the vertex is the maximum. We know that it takes the golf ball 3 seconds to reach the maximum height (since the t value of the vertex is 3) and because the vertex is on the axis of symmetry, it would take 3 more seconds for the ball to fall to the ground, therefore it takes 3 + 3 = 6 seconds to fall to the ground. The final answer is "t = 3; It takes the ball 3 seconds to reach the maximum height and 6 seconds to fall back to the ground.".
Answer:
<h2><u><em>
Area = x² + 8x + 12</em></u></h2><h2><u><em>
Perimeter = 4x + 16</em></u></h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a rectangle is given by the formula:
Area=width×height
The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula
Perimeter=2(width+height)
Area
(x + 6) × (x+2) =
x² + 2x + 6x + 12
x² + 8x + 12
------------------
Perimeter
2 × (x + 6 + x + 2) =
2 × (2x + 8) =
4x + 16
Answer:
- x = ±√3, and they are actual solutions
- x = 3, but it is an extraneous solution
Step-by-step explanation:
The method often recommended for solving an equation of this sort is to multiply by the product of the denominators, then solve the resulting polynomial equation. When you do that, you get ...
... x^2(6x -18) = (2x -6)(9)
... 6x^2(x -3) -18(x -3) = 0
...6(x -3)(x^2 -3) = 0
... x = 3, x = ±√3
_____
Alternatively, you can subtract the right side of the equation and collect terms to get ...
... x^2/(2(x -3)) - 9/(6(x -3)) = 0
... (1/2)(x^2 -3)/(x -3) = 0
Here, the solution will be values of x that make the numerator zero:
... x = ±√3
_____
So, the actual solutions are x = ±3, and x = 3 is an extraneous solution. The value x=3 is actually excluded from the domain of the original equation, because the equation is undefined at that point.

<em>Comment on the graph</em>
For the graph, we have rewritten the equation so it is of the form f(x)=0. The graphing program is able to highlight zero crossings, so this is a convenient form. When the equation is multiplied as described above, the resulting cubic has an extra zero-crossing at x=3 (blue curve). This is the extraneous solution.
Answer:
x<-1
Step-by-step explanation:
-4x+8>12
-4x>12-8
-4x>4
x>4/-4
x>-1
x<-1
It gives function: h = -16t^2 + 40
water is when height is 0 so solve for 0= -16t^2 + 40
subtract 40 from both sides: -40 = -16t^2
divide by -16: -40/-16 = t^2
simplify: 5/2 = t^2
square root both sides: 1.58 = t
