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.

A recipe that serves 10 uses 5 teaspoons of molasses. How many teaspoons are needed to serve 6?
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

3 teaspoons.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to do this by figuring out how many teaspoons of molasses is need to serve 2 and then multiply that number by 3. because 3 x 2 = 6.

10 divided by 5 is 2.  5 divided by 5 equals 1. This means that to feed 2 people you need 1 teaspoon of molasses.

1 tsp + 1 tsp + 1 tsp = 3 tsp.

This means that I need 3 tsp of molasses to feed 6 people.

A triangle has side lengths of n, n – 3, and 2(n − 2). If the perimeter of the triangle is at least 37 units, what is the value
Vilka [71]

Answer:

n = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

The side length of a triangle are n,n-3 and 2(n-2).

The perimeter of the triangle, P = 37 units

We need to find the value of n.

Perimeter = sum of all sides

n+n-3 +2(n-2) = 37

2n-3+2n-4 = 37

4n -7 = 37

4n = 37+7

4n = 44

n = 11

So, the value of n is 11.

Point k is located on the y-axis 8 units away from the origin. what are the coordinates of point k​
AnnyKZ [126]

Given:

Point k is located on the y-axis 8 units away from the origin.

To find:

The coordinates of point k​.

Solution:

Since point k is located on the y-axis, therefore it means the x-coordinate is 0.

Point k is 8 units away from the origin. So, it can be either or positive or negative side of y-axis.

If k is on the negative side of y-axis then y-coordinate of point k is -8.

If k is on the positive side of y-axis then y-coordinate of point k is 8.

Therefore, the possible coordinates of point k are either (0,-8) or (0,8).
