Answer:

A) 0.2 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

b(t)=-16t^2+5t+15

v(t)=-32t+5 <-- Take the derivative

0=-32t+5 <-- Set equal to 0

-5=-32t

\frac{5}{32}=t

t=\frac{5}{32}

t\approx0.2

Therefore, it will take the ball about 0.2 seconds to reach its maximum height (which happens to be about 15.4 feet BTW).

Alternatively, another non-calculus approach is the fact that the parabola opens downward, and as such, the maximum of b(t) occurs at the vertex where t=-\frac{b}{2a}, therefore t=-\frac{5}{2(-16)}=\frac{-5}{-32}=\frac{5}{32}\approx0.2

Answer:

0.2 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of b(t) = -16t^2 + 5t + 15 is a parabola opening downward.  The maximum value of b(t) occurs at the vertex.  The t-coordinate of the vertex is t = -5 / (2(-16)) = 5/32 = 0.15625 sec ≈ 0.2 sec.

rodikova [14]

$10.71

Explanation

Step 1

you can easily solve this by using a rule of three.

Let

x represents the money Eileen will pay if her bag weighs 63 pounds

the proportion is the same

then

\frac{7.14}{42}=\frac{x}{63}

Step 2

solve for x

\begin{gathered} \frac{7.14}{42}=\frac{x}{63} \\ 63\cdot7.14=42x \\ x=\frac{63\cdot7.14}{42} \\ x=\frac{449.82}{42} \\ x=10.71 \\  \end{gathered}

I hope this helps you

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

There are 24 more trumpet players than clarinet players

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

The recursive rule or the number of band members in a row is f(n) = f(n - 1) + 8

Where f(1) = 13

The members of the band players in row 1 = The clarinet players

The members of the band players in row 4 = The trumpet players

Therefore, the number of clarinet players = f(1) = 13

The number of band members in row 2, f(2)  = f(1) + 8 = 13 + 8 = 21

The number of band members in row 3, f(3)  = f(2) + 8 = 21 + 8 = 29

The number of band members in row 4, f(4)  = f(3) + 8 = 29 + 8 = 37

Therefore, given that the trumpet players are in row 4, the number of trumpet players = The number of band members in row 4 = 37 Trumpet players

The difference in the number of trumpet and clarinet = The number of more trumpet players than clarinet players = 37 - 13 = 24 more trumpet players than clarinet players

There are 24 more trumpet players than clarinet players.

3x+6y = 27<br> x + 2y = 11<br> Solve by elimination
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:go0gle

gle come in clutch

Step-by-step explanation:

Next, let's solve 3x+2y = 10 for the variable y. Move the 3x to the right hand side by subtracting 3x from both sides, like this: 3x - 3x = 0. The answer is 2y. The answer is 10-3x.
