A person standing close to the edge on top of a 72-foot building throws a ball vertically upward. The
quadratic function h = - 16ť+ 136t + 72 models the ball's height about the ground, h, in feet, t seconds after it was thrown.
a) What is the maximum height of the ball?
feet
b) How many seconds does it take until the ball hits the ground?
seconds
Answer:
I hope this helps.
Step-by-step explanation:
h(t) = -16t2 + 108t + 28
(a)
Maximum height occurs at the vertex of the height-vs.-time parabola, which is at
t = -108/[2(-16)] sec = ? sec
Evaluate h(t) at this value of t to get hmax.
(b)
Set h(t) = 0 and solve the quadratic equation for t. You will get a positive and a negative solution. Discard the negative solution, since time starts at t = 0.
The quadratic function, h = -16t + 136t + 72, gives us:
a) The maximum height of the ball is 360 feet.
b) The time taken by the ball to hit the ground is 9 seconds.
What is a quadratic function?A quadratic function is a function over a quadratic expression, that is, over an expression having degree 2.
How to solve the question?In the question, we are informed that a person standing close to the edge of a 72-foot building throws a ball vertically upward. The quadratic function h = -16t² + 136t + 72 models the ball's height above the ground, h in feet, t seconds after it was thrown.
We solve the following:-
a) What is the maximum height of the ball?
The maximum height of the ball can be obtained by differentiating the given quadratic function, h = -16t² + 136t + 72.
Differentiating both sides. we get:
[tex]\frac{\delta h}{\delta t} = -32t + 136[/tex] .
To get point of inflection, we equate this to 0, to get:
[tex]\frac{\delta h}{\delta t} = -32t + 136 = 0[/tex],
or, -32t + 136 = 0,
or, t = 136/32 = 4.5.
To check whether the value of h is maximum/minimum at t = 4.5, we differentiate [tex]\frac{\delta h}{\delta t} = -32t + 136[/tex] again, to get:
[tex]\frac{\delta^{2} h}{\delta t^{2} } = -32[/tex] , which is < 0, which that implies, h is maximum at t = 4.5.
Now, we calculate the maximum height, by putting in t = 4.5, in the equation, to get:
h = -16(4.5)² + 136(4.5) + 72,
or, h = -16(20.25) + 612 + 72,
or, h = -324 + 684 = 360.
Therefore, The maximum height of the ball is 360 feet.
b) How many seconds does it take until the ball hits the ground?
The time taken can be calculated by putting the value of h = 0, and solving the quadratic function h = -16t² + 136t + 72, as the height of the ball at the ground is 0.
Therefore, it can be written as:
0 = -16t² + 136t + 72.
or, 16t² - 136t - 72 = 0.
Solving this using the quadratic equation, we get:
[tex]t = \frac{-(-136)\pm \sqrt{(-136)^{2} - 4(16)(-72)}}{2(16)}[/tex] ,
or, [tex]t = \frac{136\pm \sqrt{18496 + 4608}}{32}[/tex] ,
or, [tex]t = \frac{136\pm \sqrt{23104}}{32}[/tex] ,
or, [tex]t = \frac{136\pm 52}{32}[/tex]
Therefore, either t = (136+152)/32 = 9,
or, t (136 - 152)/32 = -0.5.
Since t represents time, we won't take the negative value, and hence t = 9.
Therefore, The time taken by the ball to hit the ground is 9 seconds.

Find the mean, median, mode, and geometric mean. Which is the most appropriate measure of central tendency? The least appropriate? Explain your answer. Is there an outlier?
Answer: Mean = 3.5 , median = 2.5, mode = 2, geometric mean = 2.74
Median is the most appropriate measure of central tendency.
The least appropriate = mean
Yes there is an outlier.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given responses : 5, 4, 2, 1, 1, 2, 10, 2, 3, 5.
First arrange them in increasing order, [tex]\sqrt[10]{1\times1\times2\times2\times2\times3\times4\times5\times5\times10 }\\\\=\sqrt[10]{24000} \approx2.74[/tex]
Its sum = 35
Mean of n observations = (Sum of observations) ÷ n
Mean = (35) ÷ 10
=3.5
Here n =10 (even)
Median = average of middle most numbers = [tex]\dfrac{2+3}{2}=\dfrac52=2.5[/tex]
Mode = most repeated number = 2 (thrice)
geometric mean = [tex]\sqrt[n]{x_1\times x_2\times.... x_n}[/tex]
10 is an outlier as it is very large as compare to other numbers.
When outlier is present in data , the median is the most appropriate measure of central tendency.
Mean affected badly by the outlier so it the least appropriate.

AB/PQ = 2/3
AC/PR = 2/3
BC/QR = 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it says that the tiangles are similar, then it means that AB=PQ, AC=PR, BC=QR.
So, AB/PQ = 6/9 = 2/3
And, AC/PR = 8/12 = 2/3
Also, BC/QR = 10/15 = 2/3
A wire is (7x – 3) meters long. A length of (3x – 4) meters is cut for use(a) How much wire is left?
Answer:
The amount of wire left is 4x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Initially, the wire is (7x - 3) meters long.
A length of (3x - 4) meters is cut.
How much wire is left?
Initial amount subtracted by the amount that is cut. So
(7x - 3) - (3x - 4) = 7x - 3 - 3x + 4
We combine the like terms
7x - 3x - 3 + 4 = 4x + 1
The amount of wire left is 4x + 1

Events A and B are dependent. Find the missing probability.
P(A) = 0.6
P(B\A) = 0.2
P(A and B) = ???
Answer:
P(A and B) = 0.12
Step-by-step explanation:
Conditional Probability
Is a measure of the probability of the occurrence of an event, given that another event has already occurred. If event A has occurred, then the probability that event B occurs is given by:
[tex]{\displaystyle P(B\mid A)={\frac {P(B\cap A)}{P(A)}}}[/tex]
Where [tex]P(B\cap A)[/tex] is the probability that both events occur and P(A) is the probability that A occurs.
We are given P(A)=0.6, P(B\mid A)=0.2, and it's required to find P(B\cap A). Solving for the required variable:
[tex]P(B\cap A)=P(B\mid A)*P(A)[/tex]
[tex]P(B\cap A)=0.2*0.6=0.12[/tex]
P(A and B) = 0.12

I think of two consecutive odd numbers, five times the smaller plus three times the larger is 62. Find the numbers.
Answer:
7 and 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Variables:
x = smaller number
y = larger number
We can set up two equations with the information given:
5x + 3y = 62
and
y = x + 2
We get the second equation with the information that the two numbers are consecutive and both odd. therefore the smaller number is two less than the larger number, and the larger number is two greater than the smaller number.
Next, we need to replace our y in the first equation with the y in the second:
5x + 3y = 62
5x + 3 (x+2) = 62
5x + 3x + 6 = 62
8x = 56
x (smaller number) = 7
Finally, we solve for the larger number by placing it back into the second equation:
y = x + 2
y = 7 + 2
y (larger number) = 9

solve the equation 1/2x+7=18
Answer: 22
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x
1/2x + 7 = 18
Combine 1/2 and x.
x/2+ 7 = 18
Move all terms not containing x to the right side of the equation.
Subtract 7 from both sides of the equation.
x/2= 18 − 7
x/2 = 11
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
2 ⋅ x/2 = 2 ⋅ 11
Simplify both sides of the equation.
Cancel the common factor of 2.
x = 2 ⋅ 11
Multiply 2 by 11.
x = 22

The value of f(x) is -2 at x =
and the value of f (-2) =
Answer:
The value of f(x) is -2 at x = 0, and the value of f(-2) = -5.
Step-by-step explanation:
✔️The value of f(x) is -2 also means y = -2.
So, looking at the graph, the corresponding value of x when y = -2 is x = 0.
✔️The value of f(-2) is the same thing as asking what the corresponding y-value of x would be at x = -2.
From the graph, at x = -2, the corresponding y-value is -5.
