Answer:
- t = 1.5; it takes 1.5 seconds to reach the maximum height and 3 seconds to fall back to the ground.
Explanation:
<u>1) Explanation of the model:</u>
- Given: h(t) = -16t² + 48t
- This is a quadratic function, so the height is modeled by a patabola.
- This means that it has a vertex which is the minimum or maximu, height. Since the coefficient of the leading (quadratic) term is negative, the parabola opens downward and the vertex is the maximum height of the soccer ball.
<u>2) Axis of symmetry:</u>
- The axis of symmetry of a parabola is the vertical line that passes through the vertex.
- In the general form of the parabola, ax² + bx + c, the axis of symmetry is given by x = -b/(2a)
- In our model a = - 16, and b = 48, so you get: t = - ( 48) / ( 2 × (-16) ) = 1.5
<u>Conclusion</u>: since t = 1.5 is the axys of symmetry, it means that at t = 1.5 the ball reachs its maximum height and that it will take the same additional time to fall back to the ground, whic is a tolal of 1. 5 s + 1.5 s = 3.0 s.
Answer: t = 1.5; it takes 1.5 seconds to reach the maximum height and 3 seconds to fall back to the ground.
Answer:
y = -1/4x
Step-by-step explanation:
16y = -4x
y = -1/4x
each term is negative and 1/4 of previous term so the nth term is the n-1 term times -1/4 so f(n)= -1/4 f(n-1)
Answer:
A) x=4
B) x=35/2
Step-by-step explanation:
calculate the product
A) 5x/2+1=11
multiply both sides of the equation by 2
5x+2=22
move the constant to the right hand side and change its sign
5x+22-2
now subtract the numbers
5x=20
now didvide both sides
5x=20
x=4
B)
calculate the product
2x/7-3=2
multiply both sides of the equation by 7
2x-21=14
move the constant to the right hand side and change its sign
2x=14+21
add the numbers
2x=35
now divide both sides of the equation by 2
x=35/2
