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.

A drawing is 12 inches wide and 10 inches long. Joe wants to enlarge each side by a scale factor of 0.3. What will be the area o
Andreyy89

Answer:

Area of the dilation = 10.8 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the original dimension

Length = 12inches

Width = 10inches

If they are dilated by a factor of 0.3

New length = 0.3 * 12 = 3.6in

New width = 0.3 * 10 = 3in

Area of the dilation = 3.6 * 3

Area of the dilation = 10.8 square inches
