A water balloon is tossed into the air. The function h(x)=-0.5(x-4)squared +9 gives the height, in the feet, of the balloon from

the surface of a pool as a function of the balloons horizontal distance from where it was first tossed. Will the balloon hit the ceiling 12 ft above the pool? Explain

Answer:

No, the maximum height that the balloon can reach is 9ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

The function h(x) =-0.5(x-4)² +9, is a Quadratic Function in the Vertex form.

Vertex form: f (x) = a(x - h) 2 + k

Where:

  • (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola-
  • h is the horizontal shift (how far left, or right, the graph has shifted from x = 0).  
  • k represents the vertical shift (how far up, or down, the graph has shifted from y = 0).  

In this case a = -0.5, it means that the parabola opens downward and has a maximum point at the vertex.

So, the maximum height that the balloon can reach is k=9ft.

9 ∠ 12

The balloon will not hit the ceiling 12 ft above the pool.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Vlad [161]
<h3>Answer:  x = 12</h3>

Explanation:

The two angles shown are vertical angles. This occurs whenever you have an X shape like this, and whenever the angles are opposite one another. Vertical angles are always congruent.

6x+7 = 8x-17

6x-8x = -17-7

-2x = -24

x = -24/(-2)

x = 12

A man can take a same time to row 13km downstream and 7km upstream.His speed in still water is 5km/hr.The speed of stream is
vekshin1

Answer:

0.6 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed downstream: 13/5= 2.6 km/hr

Speed upstream: 7/5= 1.4 km/hr

Therefore, Velocity of current is: 1/2 (2.6-1.4) km/hr = 1/2(1.2) km/hr
