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.

If one zero of the polynomial (a^2+9)x^2+13x+6a is the reciprocal of the other, find the value of a.​
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer: a^2x^2+9x^2+13x+6a

Step-by-step explanation:

(a^2+9) x^2+ 13x +6a

x^2(a^2+9)+13x+6a

Expand:x^2(a^2+9): a^2 x^2+9^2

x^2 a^2 +x^2*9

a^2 x^2+9x^2

  a^2 x^2+9x^2+13x+6a

Find the coordinates of the midpoint M of the segment with the given endpoints. Then find the distance between the two points. R
Mrac [35]

Answer:

Midpoint (-2,4)

distance nearest tenth = 8.9

The approximate distance = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Formulas

PQ midpoint = (x2 + x1)/2, (y2 + y1)/2

distance d = sqrt( (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2 )

Givens

x2 = -4

x1 = 0

y2 = 1

y1 = 7

Solution

M(PQ) = (-4+0)/2, (1 + 7)/2

M(PQ) = -2, 4

The midpoint is -2,4

The distance = sqrt( (4 - 0)^2 + (1 + 7)^2 )

The distance = sqrt(16 + 64)

The distance = sqrt(80)

The distance = 4√5           exactly

The distance = 8.94    

The distance = 8.9            To the nearest tenth

Question 2

The distance is rounded to the nearest whole number which is 9.
