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}

A line has a slope of -2/3 and passes through the point (-3,8). What is the equation of the line?
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll use the standard equation y=mx+b to solve this problem. m is the slope of the line and b is the y intercept.

We know the slope, but we have to solve for the y intercept. To do this (I mean solve for 'b'), we need to know the slope, x value, and y value. We know the slope (-2/3), x= -3, and y=8. Let's plug this into y=mx+b and solve for b.

y=mx+b\\8=-\frac{2}{3}*-3 +b\\8=2+b\\b=8-2\\b=6

Let's plug all of this back into the first equation y=mx+b.

y=mx+b\\y=-\frac{2}{3}x+6

That's the answer to this problem.

I hope this helps.
