A ball is thrown into the air with an upward velocity of 36 ft/s. Its height h in feet after t seconds is given by the function

h = −16t2 + 36t + 5. In how many seconds does the ball reach its maximum height? Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary. What is the ball’s maximum height?

This can be solved in two ways: With heavy tools or with just algebra. 
What is your level? Have you studied calculus? 

With pure algebra: 
We need to find the maximum of the function <span>h = −16t^2 + 36t + 5
Lets take out -1 for simplicity: 
</span><span>h = −(16t2 - 36t - 5) 
For now lets just work with this: </span>16t^2 - 36t - 5
16t^2=(4t)^2 
(4t-x)^2= 16t^2-2*4xt+x^2
we have -36t so x should be 4.5 as 2*4*4.5=36

Lets see what we have now:
16t^2 - 36t - 5= (4t-4.5)^2 is this true? No but close
(4t-4.5)^2= 16t^2- 2*4*4.5t +4.5^2= 16t^2-36t+20.25

16t^2 - 36t - 5   and 16t^2-36t+20.25 nearl the same just take away 25.25 from the right hand side

Getting long, just stay with me: 
16t^2 - 36t - 5= (4t-4.5)^2 - 25.25

h= -{(4t-4.5)^2 -25.25}
h=-(4t-4.5)^2 + 25.25

We want to find the maximum of this function. -(4t-4.5)^2 this bit is always negative or 0, so it maximum is when it is 0. Solve: 4t-4.5=0
t=1,125

Arrange these functions from the greatest to the least value based on the average rate of change in the specified interval.Tiles
Ugo [173]

By definition, the average rate of change is given by:

AVR = \frac{f(x2)-f(x1)}{x2-x1}

We evaluate each of the functions in the given interval.

We have then:

For f (x) = x ^ 2 + 3x:

Evaluating for x = -2:

f (-2) = (-2) ^ 2 + 3 (-2)\\f (-2) = 4 - 6\\f (-2) = - 2

Evaluating for x = 3:

f (3) = (3) ^ 2 + 3 (3)\\f (3) = 9 + 9\\f (3) = 18

Then, the AVR is:

AVR = \frac{18-(-2)}{3-(-2)}

AVR = \frac{18+2}{3+2}

AVR = \frac{20}{5}

AVR = 4


For f (x) = 3x - 8:

Evaluating for x =4:

f (4) = 3 (4) - 8\\f (4) = 12 - 8\\f (4) = 4

Evaluating for x = 5:

f (5) = 3 (5) - 8\\f (5) = 15 - 8\\f (5) = 7

Then, the AVR is:

AVR = \frac{7-4}{5-4}

AVR = \frac{3}{1}

AVR = 3


For f (x) = x ^ 2 - 2x:

Evaluating for x = -3:

f (-3) = (-3) ^ 2 - 2 (-3)\\f (-3) = 9 + 6\\f (-3) = 15

Evaluating for x = 4:

f (4) = (4) ^ 2 - 2 (4)\\f (4) = 16 - 8\\f (4) = 8

Then, the AVR is:

AVR = \frac{8-15}{4-(-3)}

AVR = \frac{-7}{4+3}

AVR = \frac{-7}{7}

AVR = -1


For f (x) = x ^ 2 - 5:

Evaluating for x = -1:

f (-1) = (-1) ^ 2 - 5\\f (-1) = 1 - 5\\f (-1) = - 4

Evaluating for x = 1:

f (1) = (1) ^ 2 - 5\\f (1) = 1 - 5\\f (1) = - 4

Then, the AVR is:

AVR = \frac{-4-(-4)}{1-(-1)}

AVR = \frac{-4+4}{1+1}

AVR = \frac{0}{2}

AVR = 0


Answer:

from the greatest to the least value based on the average rate of change in the specified interval:


f(x) = x^2 + 3x interval: [-2, 3]

f(x) = 3x - 8 interval: [4, 5]

f(x) = x^2 - 5 interval: [-1, 1]

f(x) = x^2 - 2x interval: [-3, 4]

10=ax-3b solve for x
Finger [1]
10 = ax - 3b

First, add 3b to both sides. / Your problem should look like: 10 + 3b = ax.
Second, divide both sides by a. / Your problem should look like: \frac{10 + 3b}{a} = x.
Third, switch sides. / Your problem should look like: x = \frac{10 + 3b}{a} which is your answer.

The mean of a normally distributed group of weekly incomes of a large group of executives is $1,000 and the standard deviation i
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

The z-score (value of z) for an income of $1,100 is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the mean of a normally distributed group of weekly incomes of a large group of executives is $1,000 and the standard deviation is $100.

<em>Let X = group of weekly incomes of a large group of executives</em>

So, X ~ N(\mu=1,000 ,\sigma^{2}  = 100^{2})

The z-score probability distribution for a normal distribution is given by;

               Z = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = mean income = $1,000

            \sigma = standard deviation = $100

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X.

Now, we are given an income of $1,100 for which we have to find the z-score (value of z);

So, <em><u>z-score</u></em> is given by = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} = \frac{1,100-1,000}{100} = 1

<em>Hence, the z-score (value of z) for an income of $1,100 is 1.</em>
