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.

Necesito encontrar expresiones equivalentes a los valores del 1 al 20 pliss
Mariulka [41]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Si está buscando una expresión que sea igual a los números del 1 al 20, intente hacer una. Por ejemplo, 2y + 1x = 18 donde y = 9 - x / 2 y x = 18 - 2y. Siempre que la expresión sea igual a menos de 20, ¿no?

Lo siento, no entendí muy bien la pregunta, ¡pero espero que esto te haya ayudado! ¡Ten un día maravilloso! <3
