Answer:

The boulder's maximum height is:

<u>a. Reaches a maximum height of 235.00 feet in 3.75 seconds</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to solve the unknown is to replace the time in the given equation, with the values ​​given in the answer, look for the highest value and check if the height value decreases as the time increases or decreases.

First the equation provided is taken:

  • <u>h = -16t ^ 2 + 120t + 10 </u>

The time values ​​in the options are 3.75 seconds and 7.5 seconds, therefore we proceed to replace this formula with those values:

  • <u>h (3.75) = - 16 (3.75) ^ 2 + 120 (3.75) + 10 = 235 </u>
  • h (7.5) = - 16 (7.5) ^ 2 + 120 (7.5) + 10 = 10

Since a higher height value is obtained with 3.75 seconds (235 feet), this time will be taken as appropriate, however, it is best to check that by using more time and less time, the height decreases from that value, so we will take two very close times: 3.74 seconds and 3.76 seconds:

  • h (3.74) = - 16 (3.74) ^ 2 + 120 (3.74) + 10 = 234.9984
  • h (3.76) = - 16 (3.76) ^ 2 + 120 (3.76) + 10 = 220.5884

<em>As you can see, if slightly higher or lower time values ​​are taken, the height of the rock still decreases from 235 feet, so we can be sure that the time in which it reaches its maximum height is 3.75 seconds</em>.

In a soccer game the winner gains 3 points, while the loser gains 0 points. If the game is a draw, then the two teams gain 1 poi
Mariana [72]

Answer:

10 losses

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the greatest possible number of games the team lost

Let the number of games won be x

Number drawn be y

Number lost be z

Mathematically;

x + y + z = 38

Let’s now work with the points

3(x) + 1(y) + z(0) = 80

3x + y = 80

So we have two equations here;

x + y + z = 80

3x + y = 80

The greatest possible number of games lost will minimize both the number of games won and the number of games drawn

We can have the following possible combinations of draws and wins;

26-2

25-5

24-8

23-11

22-14

21-17

21-17 is the highest possible to give a loss of zero

Subtracting each sum from 38, we have the following loses:

10, 8, 6, 4, 2 and 0

This shows the greatest possible number of games lost is 10
