Lena [83]2 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A science class designed a ball launcher and tested it by shooting a tennis ball up and off the top of a 15-story building. They determined that the motion of the ball could be described by the function: h(t) = -16t2 + 144t + 160, where ‘t’ represents the time the ball is in the air in seconds and h(t) represents the height, in feet, of the ball above the ground at time t.

a) Graph the function h(t) = -16t2 + 144t + 160 (see below)

      b) What is the height of the building?

The height of the building is also the height of the tennis ball before it is launched into the air. This occurs when t=0 so substitute 0 for t and you get:

H(0) = -16(0)2 + 144(0) + 160

The height of the building is 160 feet.

 c) At what time did the ball hit the ground?

The ball hits the ground when the height is 0. Therefore, we are looking for a solution to: -16t2 + 144t + 160 = 0

Use the quadratic formula or put this into a calculator. The solution is t=10 and -1, but only 10 makes sense. Therefore, the ball hits the ground at 10 seconds.

  d) At what time did the ball reach its maximum height?

You can put this into the calculator or you can realize that the maximum height is also

− the vertex. The x-value (‘t’ in this case) is 2

−144

which is (2)(−16) = 4.5.

Therefore, the ball reached its maximum height at 4.5 seconds.

   e) What is the maximum height of the ball?

We calculated the time of the maximum height (4.5 seconds). Therefore, substitute 4.5 into the function to find the maximum height.

-16(4.5)2 + 144(4.5) + 160

The maximum height is 484 feet.

4. Suppose that Peculiar Purples and Outrageous Oranges are two different and unusual types of bacteria. Both types multiply thr
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Peculiar purples would be more abundant

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that eculiar Purples and Outrageous Oranges are two different and unusual types of bacteria. Both types multiply through a mechanism in which each single  bacterial cell splits into four. Time taken for one split is 12 m for I one and 10 minutes for 2nd

The function representing would be

i) P=P_0 (4)^{t/12} for I bacteria where t is no of minutes from start.

ii) P=P_0 (4)^{t/10} for II bacteria where t is no of minutes from start. P0 is the initial count of bacteria.

a) Here P0 =3, time t = 60 minutes.

i) I bacteria P = 3(4)^{5} =3072

ii) II bacteria P = 3(4)^{4} =768

b) Since II is multiplying more we find that I type will be more abundant.

The difference in two hours would be

3(4)^{10}- 3(4)^{8} =2949120

c) i) P=P_0 (4)^{t/12} for I bacteria where t is no of minutes from start.

ii) P=P_0 (4)^{t/10} for II bacteria where t is no of minutes from start. P0 is the initial count of bacteria.

d) At time 36 minutes we have t = 36

Peculiar purples would be

i) P=3 (4)^{36/12}=192

The rate may not be constant for a longer time.  Hence this may not be accurate.

e) when splits into 2, we get

P=P_o (2^t) where P0 is initial and t = interval of time

Please answer I will give brainiest. 24 is (8 1/3) percent of what number? I know how to do it but the SMALL decimal I am gettin
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

288

Step-by-step explanation:

24 = 8 1/3 % of x

24 = (25/3 * 1/100)x

25/300 x = 24

x = 24 * 300/25

x = 7200/25

x = 288
