Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>A.</h3>The equation for the model of the geyser is found by substituting the given upward velocity into the vertical motion model. The problem statement tells us v=69. We assume the height is measured from ground level, so c=0. Putting these values into the model gives ...
h(t) = -16t² +69t
__
<h3>B.</h3>The maximum height is at a time that is halfway between the zeros of the function.
h(t) = -16t(t -4.3125) . . . . . has zeros at t=0 and t=4.3125
The maximum height will occur at t=4.3125/2 = 2.15625 seconds. The height at that time is ...
h(t) = -16(2.15625)(2.15625 -4.3125) = 16(2.15625²) ≈ 74.39 . . . feet
The maximum height of the geyser is about 74.4 feet.
