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 distance between two points with coordinates (32,12,5) and (20,3,13) in space?​
lozanna [386]

The distance between two points with the given coordinates in space is;

<u><em>Distance = 17 units</em></u>

We are given the coordinates;

(32, 12, 5)

(20, 3, 13)

  • Formula for the distance between two points that have (x, y, z) coordinates is;

d = √((x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)² + (z₂ - z₁)²)

From the equation given to us, we can see that;

x₁ = 32

x₂ = 20

y₁ = 12

y₂ = 3

z₁ = 5

z₂ = 13

  • Using the <em>formula for the distance</em>, we have;

d = √((20 - 32)² + (3 - 12)² + (13 - 5)²)

d = √(144 + 81 + 64)

d = √289

d = 17

Thus, the <em>distance</em> between the two points is 17 units

Find the axis of symmetry for this parabola: <br><br> y=-5x^2-10x-13
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Complete the square on the right side of the equation.

5 ( x − 1 )2 − 18

2. Use the vertex form,  y = a ( x − h ) 2 + k , to determine the values of  a ,  h , and  k . a= 5 h = 1 k = − 18

3. Since the value of  a  is positive, the parabola opens up.

Opens Up

4. Find the vertex  ( h , k ) . ( 1 , − 18 )

5. Find  p , the distance from the vertex to the focus.

1 /20

6. Find the focus.

7. ( 1 , − 359/ 20 )

8. Find the axis of symmetry by finding the line that passes through the vertex and the focus.

marshall27 [118]
Answer: x = 14 - 5y
y = 14/5 - x/5( if you solve for y )

2nd one x = 35/4 + y/4
y = -35 +4x ( solve for y )
