Answer:

  3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the width of the deck. The deck adds to the pool dimensions on both sides, so the area of the site including pool and deck will be ...

  A = (20 +2x)(50 +2x) = 1000 +140x +4x^2

The area of the pool alone is

  A = (20)(50) = 1000

So, the area of the deck is the difference:

  456 = (4x^2 +140x +1000) -(1000)

Dividing by 4 and subtracting 114, we have ...

  x^2 +35x -114 = 0

  (x -3)(x +38) = 0

Solutions to this are x = 3 and x = -38. The positive solution is the one of interest.

The deck is 3 feet wide.

A ball, thrown vertically upwards, from the ground, has its height h (in meters) expressed as a function of time t (in seconds),
Over [174]

Answer:

a. 15 meters.

b. 20 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The height of the ball at 3 seconds. 20 * 3 - 5 * (3)^2 = 60 - 5 * 9 = 60 - 45 = 15.

The ball will be 15 meters high.

b. The maximum height reached by the ball.

To get that, we need to find the vertex of the parabola. We do so by doing -b/2a to find the x-coordinate of the vertex.

In this case, a = -5 and b = 20.

-20 / 2(-5) = -20 / -10 = 20 / 10 = 2.

Then, we find the y-coordinate by putting 2 where it says "t".

h(2) =  20(2) - 5(2)^2 = (40) - 5(4) = 40 - 20 = 20 meters.

Hope this helps!
