Answer:
5.3 s
Step-by-step explanation:
a) since the height is defined by a function, we can find the turning point of the quadratic , which is where the ball will have the highest point. The turning point is where the gradient is equal to zero so we differentiate first
Check the first picture below.
for a parallelogram, it has to have two pairs of parallel sides, so BC || AD and AB || CD.
if two lines are parallel, they have the same slope, namely the <u>same rise and run</u>.
notice, the line BC has a run of 6 and a rise of 1, <u>arrows in red</u>, therefore, AD must also have a run of 6 and a rise of 1, so if we move from A 6 units over and 1 up, we'd end up at point D.
now, for part atop
Check the 2nd picture, in a parallelogram, opposite sides are parallel and opposite angles are equal, so if WLP is 144°, then PNW is also 144°.
in a parallelogram, diagonals bisect each other, so each cut the other in halves, so if PM is 9 then MW is also 9 and thus PW is just 9+9=18.
now, about QRST.
notice what we said about a parallelogram above, thus
so then TQ ==> 2(8) + 12 ==> 16 + 12 ==> 28.
∡Q ==> 8(12) + 13 ==> 96 + 13 ==> 109°.
and since in a parallelogram, adjacent interior angles add up to 180°, then ∡Q + ∡T = 180°.
∡T ==> 180 - 109 ==> 71°.
