A punter on Westview High School's football team kicks a ball straight up from 5 feet above the ground with an initial upward ve

locity of 45 feet per second. The height of the ball above ground after t seconds is given by the equation h = –16t2 + 45t + 5, where h is the height of the ball in feet and t is the time in seconds since the punt. What is the maximum height of the ball, to the nearest foot?

This can solved graphically, using algebraic manipulation or differential calculus.

Plotting the equation will generate a parabola. The vertex represents the point where the ball will reach the maximum height.

The vertex can be determined by completing the square
h = -16t2 + 45t + 5
h - 5 = -16(t2 - 45/16t)
h - 5 - 2025/64 = -16(t2 - 45/16t + 2025/1024)
(-1/16)(h - 2345/64) = (t - 45/32)^2

The vertex is
(45/32,2345/64) or (1.41,36.64)

The maximum height is 36.64 ft

Using calculus, taking the first derivative of the equation and equating to 0
dh/dt = 0 = -32t + 45
t = 45/32
Substituting this value to the equation
h = -16(45/32)^2 + 45(45/32) + 5
h = 36.64 ft

Which table represents a direct variation function?
sineoko [7]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

A direct variation function is

y/x = k

i.e. we can say that the ratio of y and x is equal to a constant value k.

We will check for each Option given.

Option A

7/2 = 7/2

8/3 = 8/3

9/4 = 9/4

10/5 = 2

11/6 = 11/6

Option D is incorrect as y/x ≠ k as ratio of y/x for each value of table doesn't equal to constant

Option B

-3/2 = -3/2

-5/4 = -5/4

-6/6 = -1

-7/8 = -7/8

-8/10 = -4/5

Option B is incorrect as y/x ≠ k as ratio of y/x for each value of table doesn't equal to constant

Option C

10/-5 = -2

8/-4 = -2

6/-3 = -2

4/-2 = -2

2/-1 = -2

Option C is correct as y/x = k as ratio of y/x for each value in table c is equal to constant value -2

Option D

-3/-2 = 3/2

-3/1 = -3

-3/0 = 0

-3/1 = -3

-3/2 = -3/2

Option D is incorrect as y/x ≠ k as ratio of y/x for each value of table doesn't equal to constant .

SO, Option C is correct.

What does the line of -4 x + 3y = 6 look like
Llana [10]

Answer:

The line slopes upwards from left to right wit a positive gradient and cuts the y-axis at y=2 and the x-axis at x=-3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We first rearrange the equation to the order y=mx+c where m is the gradient and c the y intercept.

3y=4x+6

y=(4/3)x+2

The gradient is therefore 4/3 and the y intercept is 2.

At the c intercept, y=0

0=(4/3)x +2

(4/3)x=-2

x=-2×3/4

=3/2

The line slopes upwards from left to right with a positive gradient and cuts the y-axis at y=2 and the x-axis at x=-3/2

What is this math problem x²+9×+14=0
WINSTONCH [101]
x^2+9x+14=0\\\\ x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}=\frac{-9-\sqrt{9^2-4*1*14 } }{2 }=\frac{-9-\sqrt{81-56 } }{2 }= \frac{-9-\sqrt{25 } }{2 }=\\\\=\frac{-9-5 }{2 }=\frac{-14 }{2 }= -7\\\\ x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}=\frac{-9+\sqrt{9^2-4*1*14 } }{2 }= \frac{-9+5 }{2 }=\frac{- 4 }{2 }= -2
