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.

I don’t know how to do this I need help on 75-77

We need to find the surface area and volume for each rectangular prism. Here are the formulas I'm going to plug each prism's measurements.
S.Area=2(lw+wh+lh)
Volume: lwh

Question 75:
Volume: 3×1×3=9 cm³
Surface Area= 2(3)+2(3)+2(9)=6+6+18=30 cm²

Question 76:
Volume: 6×2×5=60 ft.³
Surface Area: 2(12)+2(10)+2(30)=24+20+60=104 ft²

Question 77:
Volume: 4×2×6=48 m³
Surface Area: 2(8)+2(12)+2(24)=16+24+48=88 m²

HOW DO I SOLVE THIS??<br> What would the answer be??<br> THANKS!
Arisa [49]
Convert 300% into decimals. So move the decimal point 2 times to the left and you get 3.00 and multiply it by 5 and square it because area of square is s^2

Let f(x) = ............
34kurt

Answer:

So first lets find g(-1)

so we plug in the answers:

-2 * -1 ^2 -4

-2*1-4 = -2-4 =

-6

Now lets solve for f(-2)

-2^2-3

4-3=1

-6+1 = 5

3*5 = 15

Im getting answer of 15 but it shows -15 or something, so I dont know if I got it wrong or if its like a dash then the answer.
