A.) To find the maximum height, we can take the derivative of h(t). This will give us the rate at which the horse jumps (velocity) at time t.
h'(t) = -32t + 16
When the horse reaches its maximum height, its position on h(t) will be at the top of the parabola. The slope at this point will be zero because the line tangent to the peak of a parabola is a horizontal line. By setting h'(t) equal to 0, we can find the critical numbers which will be the maximum and minimum t values.
-32t + 16 = 0
-32t = -16
t = 0.5 seconds
b.) To find out if the horse can clear a fence that is 3.5 feet tall, we can plug 0.5 in for t in h(t) and solve for the maximum height.
h(0.5) = -16(0.5)^2 + 16(-0.5) = 4 feet
If 4 is the maximum height the horse can jump, then yes, it can clear a 3.5 foot tall fence.
c.) We know that the horse is in the air whenever h(t) is greater than 0.
-16t^2 + 16t = 0
-16t(t-1)=0
t = 0 and 1
So if the horse is on the ground at t = 0 and t = 1, then we know it was in the air for 1 second.
Answer:
Graph A.
Step-by-step explanation:
When x is equal to 0, why has to be equal to 2. The slope also has to be 3. To find this out, we do y2-y1/x2-x1. For A, the slope is -7--4/-3--2. This is equal to -3/-1. This is equal to 3. Because y=2 when x=0. option A is correct. For option D, when x=0, y=32. Therefore, this option is not correct. For option B, when x=0, y=2 so this could be correct. Plug it into y2-y1/x2-x1. This is equal to -1-0/-1-2. This is equal to -1/-3. 1/3 is not equal 3 so this option is not correct either. When x=0, y=32 for option C. Therefore, this option is not correct. Therefore, the answer is option A.

<span>240 <= 171 + x <= 270
and now subtract 171 from all and get
69 <= x <= 99
So any score from 69 to 99 will do.</span>

A prism with square bases is just a square prism.
The volume of a rectangular prism is equal to its width times its length times its height. Since the base is a square, we can just say it's equal to the base squared times the height. Let's set up a formula, plug and chug.
