Answer:

Matt ;

Used diameter of the ball instead of Radius

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a sphere is given as :

4/3πr³

Radius, r = diameter / 2

Given that, the diameter = 15 cm ; The Radius = 15 / 2 = 7.5 cm

Matt made an error in his calculation by failing to covert the value of the diameter given to Radius.

By dividing the diameter by 2 = 15 / 2 = 7.5, we obtain the Radius, which is what Billy did in her own calculation.

You throw a ball up and its height h can be tracked using the equation h=2x^2-12x+20.
postnew [5]

<em><u>This problem seems to be wrong because no minimum point was found and no point of landing exists</u></em>

Answer:

1) There is no maximum height

2) The ball will never land

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Derivatives</u>

Sometimes we need to find the maximum or minimum value of a function in a given interval. The derivative is a very handy tool for this task. We only have to compute the first derivative f' and have it equal to 0. That will give us the critical points.

Then, compute the second derivative f'' and evaluate the critical points in there. The criteria establish that

If f''(a) is positive, then x=a is a minimum

If f''(a) is negative, then x=a is a maximum

1)

The function provided in the question is

h(x)=2x^2-12x+20

Let's find the first derivative

h'(x)=4x-12

solving h'=0:

4x-12=0

x=3

Computing h''

h''(x)=4

It means that no matter the value of x, the second derivative is always positive, so x=3 is a minimum. The function doesn't have a local maximum or the ball will never reach a maximum height

2)

To find when will the ball land, we set h=0

2x^2-12x+20=0

Simplifying by 2

x^2-6x+10=0

Completing squares

x^2-6x+9+10-9=0

Factoring and rearranging

(x-3)^2=-1

There is no real value of x to solve the above equation, so the ball will never land.

This problem seems to be wrong because no minimum point was found and no point of landing exists
