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

Find the total mass of the triangular region shown below. All lengths are in cm, and the density of the region is sigma(x) = 1 +
anastassius [24]

Answer:

3 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to take the mass of a bunch of little strips below the triangle "roof." To do this, we must figure out what formula for the mass we'll use, in this case, we'll use:

Mass of strip = denisty * area = (1+x)*y*deltax grams

now, because the "roof" of the triangle contains two different integrals (it completely changes direction), we will use TWO integrals!

**pretend ∈ is the sum symbol

Mass of left part = lim x->0 ∈ (1+x)*y*deltax = inegral -1 to 0 of (1+x)*3*(x+1) = 3 * integral -1 to 0 of (x^2 + 2x + 1) = 3 *  1/3 = 1

Mass of left part = lim x->0 ∈ (1+x)*y*deltax = inegral 0 to 1 of (1+x)*3*(-x+1) = 3 * integral 0 to 1 of (-x^2 + 1) = 3 * 2/3 = 2

Total mass = mass left + mass right = 1 + 2 = 3 grams

A community hall is shape of a cuboid. The hall is 40 m long, 15 m wide and 3 m high. The community hall needs re-decorating wit
Licemer1 [7]
Total cost for tiles and paints is $924.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that a community hall is in the shape of a cuboid. The hall is 40m long 15m high and 3m wide.
The paint will be required for 4 walls and ceiling.
Let us find area of walls and ceiling.



Therefore, the area of walls and ceiling is 1410 square meters.
Given: Cost for 10 litre of paint is $10 and 10 litre paint covers 25 square meter. Therefore,


Therefore, the total painting cost is $564.
Tiles will be required for floor. Let us find the area of floor.


Given: 1m squared floor tiles costs $3. So,

Therefore, the total cost for tiles is $360.
Now let us find combined total cost of tiles and paint.

Therefore, the combined total cost of tiles and paint is $924.

4log x-1/2log y+3log z
babymother [125]
Following rules of logs, we can do the following:

log x^4 - log y^(1/2) + log z^3

Combine the first and 3rd factors to get    log [x^4*z^3]

Seeing that the neg. sign signifies division, write this new term - log y^(1/2) as a quotient:

        [x^4*z^3]
log ----------------
           y^(1/2)

Next time, please include the instructions when you present your problem.
Thx.
