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)=

−2x 2 +20x+48h, left parenthesis, x, right parenthesis, equals, minus, 2, x, start superscript, 2, end superscript, plus, 20, x, plus, 48 what is the maximum height that the hovercraft will reach?

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

h(x) = -2x² + 20x + 48

      <em>  a=-2, b=20, c=48</em>

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

Select all that apply. To decide if 12.5 centimeters is greater than 140 millimeters, the first step is to set up a proportion.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

Hey there!

We can't compare two measurements without converting them to  the same units. Thus, we use proportions to make all the values into the same unit.

12.5 cm(\frac{10 milimeters}{1 centimeter}), which converts to centimetres to millimetres.

12.5 cm=125 mm.

Now, we can compare the values of 125 mm and 140 mm.

Clearly, we see that 140 mm is greater than 125 mm.

Let me know if this helps :)

Answer: Ball's kinetic energy became potential energy

Step-by-step explanation:

There are no options attached but this should be along the lines of what happened.

Kinetic energy refers to energy that an object has as a result of it moving whilst potential energy is the opposite and is energy that an object stores within itself due to several factors whilst it is not in motion.

The ball was initially in motion which means that it had kinetic energy but as the ball was slowing down, this energy was gradually converted to potential energy until the balls came to a standstill.

vazorg [7]
Well, from what you’ve posted, it seems that a negative value cannot be accepted since that would imply she has gone underwater. She also cannot go above 300 feet since she is going downwards from a max height.
