A person standing close to the edge on top of a 96-foot building throws a ball vertically upward. The quadratic function h = − 1

6 t 2 + 116 t + 96 models the ball's height above the ground, h , in feet, t seconds after it was thrown. a) What is the maximum height of the ball? b) How many seconds does it take until the ball hits the ground?

Answer:

  a) 306.25 ft

  b) 8 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The time at the maximum height is found from the equation for the axis of symmetry:

  ax^2 +bx +c   has axis of symmetry at x=-b/(2a)

For the given equation, the t-value at the vertex is ...

  t = -116/(2(-16)) = 3.625 . . . seconds

At that time, the height is ...

  h = (-16(3.625) +116)(3.625) +96 = (58)(3.625) +96 = 306.25

The maximum height is 306.25 feet.

__

b) The ball will hit the ground when h=0. From the vertex values in the first part, we know we can rewrite the equation in vertex form as ...

  h(t) = -16(t -3.625)^2 +306.25

This will be 0 when ...

  0 = -16(t -3.625)^2 +306.25

  (t -3.625)^2 = 306.25/16

  t = 3.625 +√19.140625 = 3.625 +4.375 = 8

The ball will hit the ground after 8 seconds.

Answer:  a)  306.25 feet   b) 8 s

Step-by-step explanation:

Actually we have to find the function' s  h(t)  maximum meaning.

To do that we have to find the corresponding t - let call it t max

As known t max= (t1+t2)/2 where t1 and t2 are the roots of quadratic equation' s  

Lets find the roots t1 and t2

-16*t^2+116*t+96=0   divide by 4 each side of the equation

-4*t^2 +29*t+24=0

D=29^2+24*4*4=1225 =35^2

t1=(-29-35)/(-8)=8

t2=(-29+35)/(-8)=-6/8=-3/4=-0.75

t max=  (8+(-0.75))= 7,25/2=3.625 s

h max= -16*t max ^2+116*t +96= -16*3.625^2+116*3.625+96=306.25 feet

b) t2=8s is the time when the ball hits the ground.

A boy purchased​ (bought) a​ party-length sandwich 51 in. long. He wants to cut it into three pieces so that the middle piece is
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

we have a 51 in sandwich

let a piece be x

we have x= shorter piece

another piece is x+6

another piece (x+6)-9=x-3

x+x+6+x-3=51

3x=51-3

3x=48

x=48/3=16

x=16, longer piece is 16+6=22, shorter piece =10

k0ka [10]

In 2015, eighty-seven babies per one thousand died before reaching one year of age. This figure is called the infant mortality rate.

Infant mortality is defined as a child dying before turning one. The number of newborn deaths for every 1,000 live births is known as the infant mortality rate. The infant mortality rate is a significant indicator of the general health of a society in addition to providing us with valuable information on maternal and baby health. In the United States, there were 5.4 infant deaths for every 1,000 live births in 2020.

In a rational function, is the horizontal shift represented by the vertical asymptote?
ziro4ka [17]
<h3>Short Answer: Yes, the horizontal shift is represented by the vertical asymptote</h3>

A bit of further explanation:

The parent function is y = 1/x which is a hyperbola that has a vertical asymptote overlapping the y axis perfectly. Its vertical asymptote is x = 0 as we cannot divide by zero. If x = 0 then 1/0 is undefined.

Shifting the function h units to the right (h is some positive number), then we end up with 1/(x-h) and we see that x = h leads to the denominator being zero. So the vertical asymptote is x = h

For example, if we shifted the parent function 2 units to the right then we have 1/x turn into 1/(x-2). The vertical asymptote goes from x = 0 to x = 2. This shows how the vertical asymptote is very closely related to the horizontal shifting.

A driver driving a business trip of 240 miles would have reached his destination if he'd been able to drive 12 mph faster than h
mariarad [96]

The average speed of his trip is = 12 mile/ hour

The total distance covered by the driver = 240 miles

The rate at which he traveled = 12 miles per hour

Therefore, the time he used to cover his distance

= 240/12

= 20 hrs

But average speed = distance/ time

= 240/ 20

= 12 miles/ hour

Therefore, the average speed of his trip is = 12 mile/ hour

Your friend borrows $7500 to buy an all-terrain vehicle (ATV). The simple annual interest rate is 6%. She pays off the loan afte
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

$162.50

Explanation:

The total amount to be paid is 7500+5(7500)(0.06)=$9750.

There were a total of (5)(12)=60 payments, so each payment is 9750/60 = $162.50.
