During the half time of a basketball game, a sling shot launches T-shirts at the crowd. The T-shirt is launched with an initial

upward velocity of 60 ft/s from a height of 5 feet.
Use f(x) = -12x^2 + 60x + 5 to help you answer the following questions,

a. How long will it take for the T-shirt to reach maximum height?

b. What is the maximum height ?

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}

The recursive rule for a geometric sequence is given.
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

an = 2/5 * (5) ^ (n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The common ratio is 5

(That is the number we multiply by)

The formula is

an = a1 (r) ^ (n-1)

an = 2/5 * (5) ^ (n-1)

In the following sequence, each number (except the first two) is the sum of the previous two numbers: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, .
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Fibonacci Series has been explained and the general term and shortcut to find the corresponding term has been attached

Step-by-step explanation:

Fibonnaci is a beautiful series in mathematics where the term in the series is the sum of the previous two terms of the corresponding term in the series.

Its general form is denoted by

X_{n} =X_{n-1}+X_{n-2},

where X_{n} represents the n^{th} of the Fibonnaci series.

The special thing about the Fibonacci series is that the more number of terms we proceed the ratio of the two consecutive term comes closer to the value of the Golden Ratio(φ) whose value is 1.618034.

But there is another method to find out the terms of the the Fibonacci series, which takes into account the value of φ. The formula for the following is as follows

2. Solve each given equation and show your work. Tell whether each equation has one solution, an infinite number of solutions, o
Ugo [173]
Alright,

(a) 2x+4(x-1)=2
2x+4x-4=2---- Distrubution of 4(x-1)
6x-4=2---- Combining like terms
6x=6---- Making -4 equal 0 by adding +4 to both sides
x=1---- Divide the coefficiant (6)

(b) 25-x=15-(3x+10)
25-x=15-3x-10----Distribute the -1
25-x=5-3x---- Combine like terms
25=5-2x---- Make -x equal 0 by adding +x to both sides
20=-2x---- Make 5 equal zero by subtracting 5 (or adding -5) to both sides
-10=x---- Divide by the coefficiant (-2)

(c) 4x= 2x+2x+5(x-x)
4x=2x+2x+5(0)---- Distribute. Alright this might look hard but realy it is 1x-1x so the answer is 0
4x=2x+2x---- 5 times 0 is 0
4x=4x---- Combine like terms
x=x ---- divide by the coefficiant

Alright! Hope this helps! ;)
