Answer:

After 2 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the screenshot of the parabola that formed from the quadratic equation.

As you can see the maximum point of the parabola reaches 12 feet after 2 seconds.

Also as stated in the question " <em>After how many seconds will the glider reach its maximum distance from the ground?</em>" We are trying to see at how many seconds the glider reaches the maximum point, not how many seconds until it lands.

Thus, the answer would be 2 seconds

Answer: 120 seconds

Step-by-step explanation: In order to find the maximum value of a function, you can take the derivative of the function and equalize the result to 0.

f'(x)=(-3x^2 + 12x)'=-6x+12=0

x=2

When x is 2, the function will reach its maximum value.

f(2)=-3(2)^2 + 12.2 = -12 + 24 = 12

The maximum value (f(x)) is equal to 12 and the time passed is 2 minutes which is equal to 120 seconds.

3. List the angles of the triangle in order from smallest to largest.
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

The list of angles of the triangle in order from smallest to largest will be: A < C < B

Hence, option 'e' is true.

i.e (A,C,B)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that in a triangle the greater angle has the longer side opposite to it.

From the given triangle,

Side AC = 7.2 is the longer side. Thus, B is the largest angle as it is opposite to the longer side AC = 7.2.

Then comes the second-longest side AB=4.9. Thus, C is the 2nd largest angle it is opposite to the second-longest side AB=4.9.

Finally comes the shortest side BC = 3.2. Thus, A is the shortest angle as it is opposite to the shortest side BC = 3.2.

Thus, the list of angles of the triangle in order from smallest to largest will be: A < C < B

Hence, option 'e' is true.

i.e (A,C,B)

What is 2x-64&lt;108 If you answer this I will give you a total of 23 points!
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

2x-64<108

One solution was found :

x < 86

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the greater than sign from both sides of the inequality :

2*x-64-(108)<0

Step by step solution :

Step 1 :

Pulling out like terms :

1.1 Pull out like factors :

2x - 172 = 2 • (x - 86)

Equation at the end of step 1 :

Step 2 :

2.1 Divide both sides by 2

Solve Basic Inequality :

2.2 Add 86 to both sides

x < 86
