Answer:

<em>The ball reaches its maximum height at 2.5 seconds</em>

<em>The maximum height is 100 feet</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Maximum Value of Functions</u>

We use the derivative of a function to find its maximum or minimum value over a given interval.

Given a function y=f(x), the first derivative criterion establishes if x=a is such that:

f'(a)=0, and f''(a) < 0 then x=a is a maximum of f.

The height h in feet of a ball after t seconds is:

h(t)=-16t^2+80t

Find the first derivative:

h'(t)=-32t+80

Equate to 0:

-32t+80=0

Subtract 80:

-32t=-80

Divide by -32:

t = -80 / (-32) = 2.5

t=2.5 seconds

Find the second derivative:

h''(t)=-32

Since h''(t) is always negative, then

The ball reaches its maximum height at 2.5 seconds

To find the value of the maximum height, substitute t=2.5 into the function:

h(2.5)=-16(2.5)^2+80*2.5=-100+200 = 100

The maximum height is 100 feet

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Step-x ≤ 3

Given

2(4 + 2x) ≥ 5x + 5 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

8 + 4x ≥ 5x + 5 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

8 ≥ x + 5 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

3 ≥ x , hence

x ≤ 3by-step explanation:

Sergio is S years old. Which expression shows how old will he be 7 years from now?
aniked [119]
The answer is C.

If Sergio is 'S' years old, and you want to know how old he'll be in 7 years, add 7 years to his age.

So: s + 7

Hope this helps!
