Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the rock ,(s), in feets after t seconds is given by the function

S = −16t^2 + 24t + 3

The given function is a quadratic equation. If values of height attained is plotted against time, the shape of the graph will be a parabola whose vertex would correspond to the maximum height obtained by the object.

Vertex of the parabola = -b/2a

a = - 16

b = 24

Vertex = - 24/- 16×2 = 24/32

Vertex = 0.75

So the maximum height is 0.75 feet

To determine the time at which it will reach a maximum height of 0.75, we will substitute s = 0.75 into the equation.

S = −16t^2 + 24t + 3

0.75 = −16t^2 + 24t + 3

−16t^2 + 24t + 2.25 = 0

Applying the general formula for quadratic equation,

t = b ± √b^2 - (4ac)]/2a

a = -16

b = 24

c = 2.25

t = - 24 ± √24^2 - 4(-16 × 2.25)]/2×-16

t = - 24 ± √(576  + 144)]/-32

t = - 24 ± √(720)/-32

t = (- 24 ± 26.83)/-32

t = 2.83/-32 or t = -50.83 /-32

t = - 0.088 or t = 1.588

The time cannot be negative so,

The time take to reach maximum height is 1.588 seconds

I have a math question

For the first question; we have a problem dealing with translations. Our goal is to translate the word problem into an algebraic one. So our numbers are 60, 2, and 5. Our variable, or the letter holding the unknown number's place value,  is N. <span>

</span>The problem states that 60 is MORE THAN the PRODUCT of 5 and N. Focus on the words I bolded and capitalized. These are your key words that tells you what operations you need to use. Note that 'product' signals the operation of multiplication (Since the answer you get from multiplying numbers is called the 'product'.) and 'more than' signals the operation of addition (Because you are left off with more than you originally had before adding). <span>

</span>Now that we know that our algebraic expression contains multiplication, addition, letter N and the numbers 2 and 5; we can start plugging the numbers in.<span>

</span>60 = 2 (more than) + (product of) 5N. The answer for the first attachment is B. <span>

</span>_____________________________________________________________<span>

</span>All we need to do for the AB problem (Question 25 on your material) is solve AB.<span>

</span>Note 1: When a problem has no operation separating two letters or numbers, this means multiplication.<span>

</span>Note 2: A and B are variables. Variables are letters that stand for and hold the place of our unknown quantities. However, the values are not unknown anymore given the fact that the question tells us that A= 42 and B = 2. Thus we substitute A with 42 and B with 2, then work from there. 42 * 2 =84. Answer = A.

____________________________________________________________________

And finally, for question 26, we use PEMDAS. P = parenthesis (), E = exponent x^2, M/D = x or /, A/S means + or subtraction.

According to PEMDAS, we first solve what's parenthesis, which is 77 – 32. Using mental math, 77 – 32 = 45. ( 7 – 3 = 4 and 7 – 2 = 5.). 5/9 * 45 is what we have left. 5 divided by 9 =0.5555555555555556. 0.5555555555555556 * 45 = 25. Answer is D.
