When you have 8(s-3) you are find a product of 8 times whatever s-3 is however s-3 you are find the difference between whatever s is and 3.

Ja'Von kicks a soccer ball into the air. The function f(x) = –16(x – 2)2 + 64 represents the height of the ball, in feet, as a f

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

The maximum height the ball reaches is 64 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is f(x) = -16·(x - 2)² + 64

From the equation, the path described by the ball is an inverted n-shaped parabola

The maximum height is therefore, the tip of the parabola

At the maximum height, the slope = 0 because the tip is momentarily flat

Since the slope (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = The derivative Δy/Δx, we find the derivative of the function and equate it to zero to find the coordinates at the maximum height

Δy/Δx = dy/dx = d(-16·(x - 2)² + 64)/dx = -32·(x - 2) = -32·x + 64

To check if it is a maximum, we have;

d²y/dx² = d(-32·x + 64)/dx = -32 which is negative, indicating that the slope is reducing and we at the maximum point of the slope

Therefore for the maximum height Δy/Δx = dy/dx = -32·x + 64 = 0

64 = 32·x

x = 64/32 = 2 seconds

We now have the x-value at the slope, the f(x) value, is therefore;

f(2) = -16·(2 - 2)² + 64 = 64 feet

Therefore, the maximum height the ball reaches is 64 feet.

What is the value of x in the equation 1.5(x + 4) – 3 = 4.5(x - 2)?<br> O 3<br> O 4<br> O 5<br> 09

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1.5x + 6 - 3 = 4.5x - 9

1.5x + 3 = 4.5x - 9

Bringing like terms on one side

3 + 9 = 4.5x - 1. 5x

12 = 3x

12/3 = x

4 = x

the volume of a rectangular pyramid is 192 cubic units. if it's dimensions are reduced to one-fourth their original lemgth. what

vekshin1

We know that
scale factor=1/4
so
volume of the smaller pyramid=[scale factor]³*volume original pyramid
volume original pyramid=192 unit³
volume of the smaller pyramid=[1/4]³*192---> (1/64)*192----> 3 units ³

the answer is

3 units³

Interpreting the inequality, it is found that the correct option is given by F.

------------------

The first equation is of the line.
The equal sign is present in the inequality, which means that the line is not dashed, which removes option G.

In standard form, the equation of the line is:

$x + 2y = 6$

$2y = 6 - x$

$y = -0.5x + 2$

Thus it is a decreasing line, which removes options J.

We are interested in the region on the plane below the line, that is, less than the line, which removes option H.

------------------

As for the second equation, the normalized equation is:

$3x^2 + 3y^2 = 12$

$3(x^2 + y^2) = 12$

$x^2 + y^2 = 4$

Thus, a circle centered at the origin and with radius 2.
Now, we have to check if the line $x + 2y - 6 = 0$ , with coefficients $a = 1, b = 2, c = -6$ , intersects the circle, of centre $x = 0, y = 0$
First, we find the following distance:

$d = \sqrt{\frac{|ax + by + c|}{a^2 + b^2}}$

Considering the coefficients of the line and the center of the circle.

$d = \sqrt{\frac{|1(0) + 2(0) - 6|}{1^2 + 2^2}} = \sqrt{\frac{6}{5}} = 1.1$

This distance is less than the radius, thus, the line intersects the circle, which removes option K, and states that the correct option is given by F.
