A hovercraft takes off from a platform. Its height (in meters), xxx seconds after takeoff, is modeled by: h(x)=-2x^2+20x+48h(x)=

Ad libitum [116K]

the maximum height is the y-value of the vertex.

h(x) = -2x² + 20x + 48

$x = \frac{-b}{2a} = \frac{-20}{2(-2)} = \frac{-20}{-4} = 5$

h(5) = -2(5)² + 20(5) + 48

= -50 + 100 + 48

= 50 + 48

= 98

Answer: 98 meters

Triangle KLM represents a section of a park set aside for picnic tables. The picnic area will take up approximately 400 square y

svetoff [14.1K]

Given triangle KLM with two sides given as 45 yd and 20 yd and a 25 degree angle opposite the 20 yd side.

We find the angle made at the opposite of the 45 yd side using the sine rule as follows.
$\frac{\sin{A}}{a} = \frac{\sin{B}}{b} \\ \frac{\sin{25^o}}{20} = \frac{\sin{B}}{45} \\ \sin{B}= \frac{45\sin{25^o}}{20} = \frac{19.0178}{20} =0.9509 \\ B=\arcsin{(0.9509)}=71.97^o$

Thus, the third angle is given by 180 - 25 - 71.97 = 83.03 degrees.

We also use the sine rule to find the third side of the triangle as follows.
$\frac{\sin{A}}{a} = \frac{\sin{C}}{c} \\ \frac{\sin{25^o}}{20} = \frac{\sin{83.03^o}}{c} \\ c= \frac{20\sin{83.03^o}}{\sin{25^o}} = \frac{19.8522}{\sin{25^o}} =46.97 yds$

Therefore, amount of fencing needed to surround the perimeter of the picnic area = 45 + 20 + 46.97 = 111.97 ≈ 120 yds

For all real numbers a and b, 2a • b = a2 + b2 Is this true or false? Explain why it false or true.

Andru [333]

Answer:

It's false.... correct is a2+2ab+b2

Step-by-step explanation:

This cannot be factored anymore although. when we try to substitute a with 5 and b with 2, the answer in the right hand side of the equation is -9.

That's why it's false.
