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}

Answer:

\displaystyle D)  {x}^{5}  +  \rm C

Step-by-step explanation:

we would like to integrate the following Integral:

\displaystyle \int 5 {x}^{4} \, dx

well, to get the constant we can consider the following Integration rule:

\displaystyle \int c{x} ^{n}  \, dx  =  c\int  {x}^{n}  \, dx

therefore,

\displaystyle 5\int  {x}^{4} \, dx

recall exponent integration rule:

\displaystyle \int {x} ^{n}  \, dx  =  \frac{ {x}^{n + 1} }{n + 1}

so let,

  • n = 4

Thus integrate:

\displaystyle  =  5\left( \frac{ {x}^{4+ 1} }{4 +  1}  \right)

simplify addition:

\displaystyle  =  5\left( \frac{ {x}^{5} }{5}  \right)

reduce fraction:

\displaystyle  =  {x}^{5}

finally we of course have to add the constant of integration:

\displaystyle  \boxed{ {x}^{5}  +  \rm C}

hence,

our answer is D)
