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.

if you estimated your sale to be $300 but your actual sale was $345, what was your percent of the increase?
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

The percentage change from 300 to 375 is 25 %

Step-by-step explanation:

((y2 - y1) / y1)*100 = your percentage change

(where y1=start value and y2=end value)

((375 - 300) / 300) * 100 = 25 %

Find the volume of a cone that has a radius of 3 inches and a height of 9 inches. Use 3.14 for pi and round your answer to the n
aalyn [17]

Volume of the cone is 100 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Volume of a cone = 1/3 πr²h. Find volume of the cone where r = 3 inches and h = 9 inches.

Volume = 1/3 × 3.14 × 3² × 9

             = 84.78 in³ ≈ 100 in³ (rounding off to nearest hundredth)
