Answer:
0.25feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is not well written. Let the equation of the height be modelled as;
h = -16d²+8d+4
The velocity of the ball is zero at its maximum height.
Velocity = change in displacement/time
v = dh/dd
Differentiate
v = -32d+8
Since dh/dd = v = 0
0 = -32d+8
Add 32d to both sides
0+32d = 8
32d = 8
Divide both sides by 32
32d/32 = 8/32
d = 1/4
d = 0.25feet
Hence the maximum height of the tennis ball is 0.25feet
Note that the modeled equation was assumed. You can apply the same calculation to any equation given
Answer
The sales tax is determined by computing a percent of the purchase price. To find the sales tax multiply the purchase price by the sales tax rate. Remember to convert the sales tax rate from a percent to a decimal number. Once the sales tax is calculated, it is added to the purchase price.
The key piece of information for these questions is the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, which states that a degree n polynomial has n complex roots. A complex root can be either real or imaginary.
First question, regarding the polynomial y = x^3 - 3x^2 + 16x - 48:
We know there is one real root, the x-intercept.
Since it's a third degree polynomial, there are three complex roots in total.
Therefore, there is one real root and two imaginary roots.
Answer is B
Second question:
You probably can guess the answer, now that you know the Fundamental Theorem of Alegebra:
There are 3 real zeros, each with multiplicity one, meaning each root only happens once. It's a 5th degree polynomial, so there are a total of 5 roots, implying 2 imaginary roots.
Answer is C) 3 real and 2 imaginary zeroes.
For (x, f(x)) = (5, -4), you want to find (x, -1/4·f(x)). That will be
... (5, -1/4·(-4)) = (5, 1)
