4 0

Answer:

m = - 5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines are perpendicular, their slopes are negative reciprocals, which means that their product is -1

We can write the equation

4*x - 5*y + 13 = 0

as: 5*y = 4*x + 13 or

y = (4/5)*x + 13 (1)

Equation (1) is the equation of a straight line in its slope point form, 4/5 is the slope, according to this the slope of a perpendicular line is

-5/4

The height (feet) of an object moving vertically is given by s= (-16t^2)+(208t)+(156), where t is in seconds.

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

The object's velocity at t = 7 is -16 ft/s

The maximum height is 832 ft and it occurs when $t=\frac{13}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, the equation of motion of the object is

$s(t)= -16t^2+208t+156$

For any equation of motion s(t), the instantaneous velocity at time t is given by

$v(t)=\frac{ds}{dt}$

(a) To find the object's velocity at t = 7, you must:

$v(t)=\frac{d}{dt}(-16t^2+208t+156)\\\\v(t)=-\frac{d}{dt}\left(16t^2\right)+\frac{d}{dt}\left(208t\right)+\frac{d}{dt}\left(156\right)\\\\v(t)=-32t+208+0\\\\v(t)=-32t+208$

Next, we evaluate when t = 7

$v(7)=-32(7)+208=-224+208\\\\v(7)=-16$

The object's velocity at t = 7 is -16 ft/s

(b) <em>To find the maximum of a function we always use the derivative of the function and we set it equal zero to find the</em><em> critical points.</em>

To find the maximum height and when it occurs, we set the velocity function equal to 0 and solve for t.

$-32t+208=0\\\\-32t+208-208=0-208\\\\-32t=-208\\\\\frac{-32t}{-32}=\frac{-208}{-32}\\\\t=\frac{13}{2}$
