The maximum height of the projectile is the maximum point that can be gotten from the projectile equation

The projectile reaches the maximum height after 5 seconds

The function is given as:

$\mathbf{h(t) = -16t^2 + 160t}$

Differentiate the function with respect to t

$\mathbf{h'(t) = -32t + 160}$

Set to 0

$\mathbf{h'(t) = -32t + 160 = 0}$

So, we have:

$\mathbf{-32t + 160 = 0}$

Collect like terms

$\mathbf{-32t =- 160 + 0}$

$\mathbf{-32t =- 160}$

Solve for t

$\mathbf{t = \frac{- 160}{-32}}$

$\mathbf{t = 5}$

Hence, the projectile reaches the maximum after 5 seconds

Solve for x in the equation x squared + 4 x minus 4 = 8.

Goryan [66]

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 4x − 4 = 8

x² + 4x − 12 = 0

(x + 6) (x − 2) = 0

x = -6 or x = 2

Jennifer buys a block of clay for an art project. The block is shaped like a cube with edge lengths of 12 inches.

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Volume of block Jennifer bought:

V = side^3 = 12 x 12 x 12 = 1728 (in3)

Volume of sphere Jennifer wanted to make:

V = (4/3) x pi x radius^3 = (4/3) x pi x (4/2)^3 = 33.5 (in3)

a, The number of spheres she can make:

N = 1728/33.5 = 51.58 = ~51

b, The area of remaining clay after she made a sphere:

A = 1728 - 33.5 = 1694.5 (in3)

Hope this helps!

Can someone help me with these and show the work also?

Snezhnost [94]

QUESTION:

Simplify each expression

ANSWER:

1.) $\green{{- 8n}}$

2.) $\green{{- 2b - 60}}$

3.) $\green{{- 10x - 14}}$

4.) for number 4 study my step-by-step explanation so you can answer that

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

1.) First, If the term doesn't have a coefficients, it is considered that the coefficients is 1

WHY?

Learn why:

Why is it considered that the coefficient is 1?

Remember that any term multiplied by $\blue{{1}}$ remains the same :

$\blue{{1}}$ ${× x = x}$

Step 1:

The equality can be read in the other way as a well, so any term can be written as a product of $\blue{{1}}$ and itself:

${x = }$ $\blue{{1}}$ ${× x}$

Step 2:

Usually, we don't need to write multiplacation sign between the coefficient and variable, so the simple form is:

${x = 1x}$

This is why we can write the term without the coefficient as a term with coefficient ${1}$

Now let's go back to solving as what i said if a term doesn't have a coefficient, it is considered that the coefficient is 1

${n - 9n}$

$\red{{1}}$ ${n -9n}$

Second, Collect like terms by subtracting their coefficients

$\red{{1n - 9n}}$

$\red{{( 1 - 9)n}}$

Third, Calculate the difference

how?

Keep the sign of the number with the larger absolute value and subtract the smaller absolute value from larger

$\red{{1 - 9}}$

$\red{{- (9 - 1)}}$

Subtract the numbers

- ( $\red{{9 - 1}}$ )n

- $\red{{8}}$ n

$\green{\boxed{- 8n}}$

2.) First, Distribute - 6 through the parentheses

how?

Multiply each term in the parentheses by - 6

$\red{{- 6(b + 10)}}$

$\red{{- 6b - 6 × 10}}$

Multiply the numbers

- ${6b}$ - $\red{{6 × 10}}$

- ${6b}$ - $\red{{60}}$

Second, Collect like term

how?

Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficient

$\red{{- 6b + 4b}}$

$\red{{(- 6 + 4)b}}$

Calculate the sum

$\red{{(- 6 + 4)}}$ b

$\red{{-2}}$ b

$\green{\boxed{- 2b - 60}}$

3.) First, Distribute 2 through parentheses

how?

Multiply each term in the parentheses by 2

$\red{{2(x - 5)}}$

$\red{{2x - 2 × 5}}$

Multiply the numbers

${2x -}$ $\red{{2 × 5}}$

${2x -}$ $\red{{10}}$

Second, Distribute - 4 through the parentheses

how?

Multiply each term in the parentheses by - 4

$\red{{- 4(3x + 1)}}$

$\red{{- 4 × 3x - 4}}$

Calculate the product

- $\red{{4 × 3}}$ x - 4

- $\red{{12}}$ x - 4

Third, Collect like terms

how?

Collect like terms by subtracting their coefficient

$\red{{2x - 12x}}$

$\red{{(2 - 12)x}}$

Calculate the difference

$\red{{(2 - 12)}}$ x

$\red{{- 10}}$ x

Fourth, Calculate the difference

how?

Factor out the negative sign from the expression

$\red{{- 10 - 4}}$

$\red{{- (10 + 4)}}$

Add the numbers

- ( $\red{{10 + 4}}$ )

- $\red{{14}}$

$\green{\boxed{- 10x - 14}}$

That's all I know sorry but I hope it helps :)
