Let the consecutive integers be x and x+1.

Then,

x + (x + 1) = 23

=> x + x + 1 = 23

=> 2x + 1 = 23

=> 2x = 23 - 1

=> 2x = 22

=> x = 22/2

=> x = 11

So, the integers are:

x = 11

and x + 1 = 11 + 1 = 12

So, the consecutive integers are 11 and 12.

During the half time of a basketball game, a sling shot launches T-shirts at the crowd. The T-shirt is launched with an initial

kumpel [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

The T-shirt is launched with an initial upward velocity of 60 ft/s from a height of 5 feet. Its equation of motion is given by :

$f(x) = -12x^2 + 60x + 5$ ....(1)

(a) For maximum height, put $\dfrac{df(x)}{dt}=0$

So,

$\dfrac{ d(-12x^2 + 60x + 5)}{dt}=-24x+60$

Now put,

$-24x+60=0\\\\x=2.5\ s$

So, the time taken for the T-shirt to reach maximum height is 2.5 seconds.

(b) Put x = 2.5 s in equation (1)

$f(x=2.5) = -12(2.5)^2 + 60(2.5) + 5\\\\f(x)=80\ \text{feet}$
