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.

Find what equals to x and what equals to y
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

x=15√2  y=90 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Thanks to the Pythagorean Theorem we know that with any right triangle, A^2+B^2=C^2. In this case we can use 15^2+15^2=sqrt of 450. The square root of 450 is 15 times the square root of 2. Thus x=15√2. Now we need to find y. All angles in a triangle add up to 180 so if we have 45+45+y=180 then y=90.

2. Saul invested an average of $425 per month since age 30 in various securities for his
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

$507.30

Step-by-step explanation:

-Given the monthly deposits are $425 and the interest rate is 3.5% for 30 years.

-The amount of the investment after 30 years is calculated as;

A=P(1+i/n)^n, n=time \ in \ months\\\\=425(1+0.035/12)^{30\times 12}\\\\=1212.65

-Assuming Saul started saving at age 20, his investment term will be 40 yrs.

-His investment amount is thus:

A=P(1+i/n)^n, n=time \ in \ months\\\\=425(1+0.035/12)^{40\times 12}\\\\=1719.95

#We subtract to find how much more he would have if he started saving at 20;

=A_{20}-A_{30}\\\\=1719.95-1212.65\\\\=507.30

Hence, Saul would have $507.30 more had he started saving 10 years earlier.

How to calculate the percentage?
miv72 [106K]

\:  \:  \:  \:  \:

  1. <u>How to calculate percentage of a number. Use the percentage formula: P% * X = Y</u>

  1. <u>Convert the problem to an equation using the percentage formula: P% * X = Y.</u>
  2. <u>P is 10%, X is 150, so the equation is 10% * 150 = Y.</u>
  3. <u>Convert 10% to a decimal by removing the percent sign and dividing by 100: 10/100 = 0.10.</u>

  • <u>Multiply by 100 and add a percentage </u><u>sign</u>
  • <u>0.876 = 0.876 * 100 = 87.6%</u>
