Use the formula h(t)=−16t2+v0t+h0 , where v0 is the initial velocity and h0 is the initial height. How long will it take for the

Rama09 [41]

<em><u>Question:</u></em>

Britney throws an object straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 27 ft/s from a platform that is 10 ft above the ground. Use the formula h(t)=−16t2+v0t+h0 , where v0 is the initial velocity and h0 is the initial height. How long will it take for the object to hit the ground?

1s 2s 3s 4s

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

It takes 2 seconds for object to hit the ground

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>The given equation is:</u></em>

$h(t) = -16t^2 + v_0t+h_0$

Initial velocity = 27 feet/sec

$h_0 = 10\ feet$

Therefore,

$h(t) = -16t^2 +27t+10$

At the point the object hits the ground, h(t) = 0

$-16t^2 +27t+10 = 0\\\\16t^2-27t-10=0$

Solve by quadratic formula,

$\mathrm{For\:a\:quadratic\:equation\:of\:the\:form\:}ax^2+bx+c=0\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}\\\\x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\\mathrm{For\:}\quad a=16,\:b=-27,\:c=-10:\quad \\\\t=\frac{-\left(-27\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-27\right)^2-4\cdot \:16\left(-10\right)}}{2\cdot \:16}\\\\t = \frac{27 \pm \sqrt{1369}}{32}\\\\t = \frac{27 \pm 37}{32}\\\\We\ have\ two\ solutions\\\\t = \frac{27+37}{32}\\\\t = \frac{64}{32}\\\\t = 2\\\\And\\\\t = \frac{27-37}{32}\\\\t = -0.3125$

Ignore, negative value

Thus, it takes 2 seconds for object to hit the ground

Use the Ratio Test to determine whether the series is convergent or divergent.

natka813 [3]

Answer:

The series is absolutely convergent.

Step-by-step explanation:

By ratio test, we find the limit as n approaches infinity of

|[a_(n+1)]/a_n|

a_n = (-1)^(n - 1).(3^n)/(2^n.n^3)

a_(n+1) = (-1)^n.3^(n+1)/(2^(n+1).(n+1)^3)

[a_(n+1)]/a_n = [(-1)^n.3^(n+1)/(2^(n+1).(n+1)^3)] × [(2^n.n^3)/(-1)^(n - 1).(3^n)]

= |-3n³/2(n+1)³|

= 3n³/2(n+1)³

= (3/2)[1/(1 + 1/n)³]

Now, we take the limit of (3/2)[1/(1 + 1/n)³] as n approaches infinity

= (3/2)limit of [1/(1 + 1/n)³] as n approaches infinity

= 3/2 × 1

= 3/2

The series is therefore, absolutely convergent, and the limit is 3/2
