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.

What is the solution of the equation: 2/3(15x-6)=8(x+1)
madreJ [45]

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we need to get the variable, x, by itself. To do this, first, move all the variables to one side of the equation, and the numbers to the other

2/3(15x-6)=8(x+1)

First, distribute the 2/3 on the left

2/3*15x + 2/3*-6=8(x+1)

10x-4=8(x+1)

Next, distribute the 8 on the right

10x-4=8*x + 8*1

10x-4=8x+8

Subtract 8x from both sides

10x-8x-4=8x-8x+8

2x-4=8

Add 4 to both sides

2x-4+4=8+4

2x=12

Now all the numbers are on one side, and the variables are on the other. x is not by itself though, it is being multiplied by 2. To undo this, divide both sides by 2

2x/2=12/2

x=6

Beginning with an integer $n,$ Jake goes through the following steps: $\bullet$ 1. Take the reciprocal of the starting number. $
evablogger [386]

Answer: n= 32

Jakes started with 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the initial integer.

Step 1: take the reciprocal.

Reciprocal of n = 1/n

Step 2: double the number obtained in step 1

= 2×1/n = 2/n

Step 3: take the reciprocal of the number obtained in step 2.

Reciprocal of 2/n = n/2

Since he ended up with 16

n/2 = 16

n = 2×16 = 32

Let g(x)=3x+2 and f(x)= x-2/3
son4ous [18]

Answer:

1.) 1 1/3 or 4/3

2.) 6

3.) 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Function composition substitutes more than just values or constants. It substitutes functions inside another function. Solve each expression by starting inner most and working to outermost.

1.) f(g(0))  = 1 1/3

Let g(x)=3x+2 and f(x)= x-2/3.

Begin with g(0) = 3(0) + 2 = 2.

Substitute x = 2 into f(x).

f(2) = (2) - 2/3 = 1 1/3

2.) g(f(2))  = 6

Let g(x)=3x+2 and f(x)= x-2/3.

Begin with f(2) = 2 - 2/3 = 1 1/3.

Substitute x = 1 1/3 into g(x).

g(1 1/3) = 3( 1 1/3) + 2 = 3(4/3) + 2 = 4 + 2 = 6

3.) g(g((0))

Let g(x)=3x+2.

Begin with g(0) = 3(0) + 2 = 2.

Substitute x = 2 into g(x).

g(2) = 3(2) + 2 = 8
