Step-by-step explanation:

The T-shirt is launched with an initial upward velocity of 60 ft/s from a height of 5 feet. Its equation of motion is given by :

f(x) = -12x^2 + 60x + 5 ....(1)

(a) For maximum height, put \dfrac{df(x)}{dt}=0

So,

\dfrac{ d(-12x^2 + 60x + 5)}{dt}=-24x+60

Now put,

-24x+60=0\\\\x=2.5\ s

So, the time taken for the T-shirt to reach maximum height is 2.5 seconds.

(b) Put x = 2.5 s in equation (1)

f(x=2.5) = -12(2.5)^2 + 60(2.5) + 5\\\\f(x)=80\ \text{feet}

Question is: Solve -7(x+6)=4(x+6)
Alina [70]

\huge\boxed{x=-6}

Hey there! Our goal here is to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

\begin{aligned}-7(x+6)&=4(x+6)&&\smash{\Big|}&&\textsf{Start with the original equation.}\\-7x+(-7)(6)&=4x+4(6)&&\smash{\Big|}&&\textsf{Distribute.}\\-7x-42&=4x+24&&\smash{\Big|}&&\textsf{Multiply.}\\-7x-4x&=24+42&&\smash{\Big|}&&\textsf{Move the terms.}\\-11x&=66&&\smash{\Big|}&&\textsf{Combine like terms.}\\x&=\boxed{-6}&&\smash{\Big|}&&\textsf{Divide both sides by $-11$.}\end{aligned}
