A ball is thrown from the top of a hill. The graph shows the relationship between the height h, in meters, of the ball above the

ground at the base of the hill and the time t, in seconds, after the ball is thrown. The function h(t) = -4.9t2 + 9.8t + 15 models h as a function of t. What is the significance of the vertex of the parabola in terms of height and/or time?

Answer:

The maximum height of the ball is 19.9 meters after 1 second.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of a ball represents by the function

h(t) = -4.9t2 + 9.8t + 15

where, h(t) is the height in meters, of the ball above the ground at the base of the hill and the time t, in seconds, after the ball is thrown.

In the given equation leading coefficient is -4.9 which is a negative number. So, it is a downward parabola and vertex of a downward parabola represents the maximum value of the function.

It means vertex of the given function represents the maximum height of the ball.

If a quadratic function is defined as

f(x)=ax^2+bx+c

then vertex of the function is

Vertex=(-\frac{b}{2a},f(-\frac{b}{2a}))

In the given function, a=-4.9,b=9.8,c=15.

-\frac{b}{2a}=-\frac{9.8}{2(-4.9)}=1

Substitute t=1 in the given function.

h(1) = -4.9(1)2 + 9.8(1) + 15=19.9

The vertex of the function is (1,19.9).

Therefore, the maximum height of the ball is 19.9 meters after 1 second.

What is the ratio of the two values and what new value do they produce? $280 in 7m
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

The ratio between two values A and B is just the quotient between these two values:

ratio = A/B

a) $280 in 7m

Here the ratio is:

$280/7m = $40/m

This also can be read as:

$40 per meter.

b) 105 miles in 2 hours

Here the ratio is:

105mi/2h = 52.5 mi/h

This also can be read as:

52.5 miles per hour

c) $33 for 5lb

The ratio is:

$33/5lb = $6.6/lb

This can be read as:

$6.6 per pound.

d) 50 pages in 2 hours

the ratio is:

(50 pages)/2h = 25 pages/h

this can be read as:

25 pages per hour.

How do I write 10^4 as a product of the same factor
mars1129 [50]
10x10x10x10, you have to multiply 10 by 10 four times, since it's 10 to the power of 4.

Abdul runs 6 miles in 50 minutes. At the same rate, how many miles would he run in 35 minutes?
stepladder [879]
\frac{6miles}{50min} = \frac{x miles}{35 min}  \\ 6*35 = 50*x \\ 210 =50x \\ 210/50=50x/50 \\ x=4.2
Abdul can run 4.2 miles in 35 minutes
