Answer:

a) The golf ball reaches a height of 64 feet.

b) The golf ball will take 2 seconds to reach maximum height.

c) The golf ball will take 4 seconds to land after being hit.

d) The golf ball will be 48 feet above ground 1 and 3 seconds after being hit.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The parabolic motion of the golf ball is described by a second order polynomial, that is, the equation of the parabola. To determine the maximum height of the golf ball, we need to transform the equation of the parabola given into vertex form:

h = -16\cdot (t^{2}-4\cdot t)

h - 64 = -16\cdot (t^{2}-4\cdot t + 4)

h - 64 = -16\cdot (t-2)^{2}

From this form we can obtain relevant information of the maximum height of the golf ball, contained in the left side of the equation. On this approach, we conclude that the golf ball reaches a height of 64 feet.

b) The time taken by the golf ball is contained in the right side of the formula. That is, the golf ball will take 2 seconds to reach maximum height.

c) In this case, we need to factor the polynomial to find right times, that is:

h = 64\cdot t - 16\cdot t^{2}

h = 16\cdot t \cdot (4 - t)

The time taken by the golf ball to land is contained in the second binomial. In a nutshell, the golf ball will take 4 seconds to land after being hit.

d) If we know that h = 48, the time taken by the golf ball to be 48 feet above the ground is:

64\cdot t - 16\cdot t^{2} = 48

16\cdot t^{2}-64\cdot t +48 = 0

By Quadratic Formula, we have the following roots:

t_{1} = 3, t_{1} = 1

The golf ball will be 48 feet above ground 1 and 3 seconds after being hit.

A gumball machine contains 2323 green gumballs, 5252 red gumballs, 3434 blue gumballs, 6161 yellow gumballs, and 3030 pink gumba
OleMash [197]
If you add all the gumballs together you get a total of 20200 gumballs now you just divide 5252 by the total number of 20200 to get the percent of 26% giving us the answer to what the percent of red there is in this container

(add all the number, divide the total number of reds by the total number of gumballs (5252 divided by 20200) which will give you the percent of red gumballs (26%)

Find the width of the rectangular prism when the surface area is 208 square centimeters.
ozzi
SA=2(lw+wh+lh) This is the formula for finding the surface area of a rectangular prism, where SA is surface area, l is length, w is width, and h is height.

208=2(lw+wh+lh)
104=lw+wh+lh Here, I divided both sides by 2 to get ride of the 2.

Now, I used prime factorization to find out all the prime factors of 104, which are 2, 2, 2, and 13. Since rectangular prisms only have 3 dimensions, I needed to combine two of the prime factors. In this case, I can either combine 2 of the 2s to get 2, 4, and 13 or I can combine 13 with one of the 2s to get 26, 2, and 2.

If my dimensions were 2, 4, and 13...
my surface area would be 172 sq cm.

If my dimensions were 2, 2, and 26...
my surface area would be 208 sq cm.

Hence, the width of the rectangular prism when the surface area is 208 square centimeters can be either 2 or 26.

Help me with this question
frosja888 [35]

A linear equation in the form y = mx + c has slope m Any line parallel to 3x + 9y = 5 has the same slope 3x + 9y = 5 → 9y = -3x + 5 → y = (-3/9)x + 5/9 → y = -⅓x + 5/9 & So it’s 10 and 0
