Jason jumped off a cliff into the ocean in Acapulco while vacationing with some friends. His height as a function of time could be modeled by the function h ( t ) = − 16 t 2 + 16 t + 480 h(t)=−16t 2 +16t+480, where t is the time in seconds and h is the height in feet. What is the maximum height that Jason reaches?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

484feet

Step-by-step explanation:

If the height as a function of time could be modeled by the function h(t)=−16t^2 +16t+480, where t is the time in seconds and h is the height in feet.

The maximum height of Jason occurs when dh/dt = 0 (velocity is zero)

dh/dt = -32t + 16

0 = -32t + 16

32t = 16

t = 16/32

t = 1/2

t = 0.5secs

Get the maximum height

Recall that h(t)=−16t^2 +16t+480

Substitute t = 0.5

h(0.5)=−16(0.5)^2 +16(0.5)+480

h(0.5) = -4 + 8 + 480

h(0.5) = 4 + 480

h(0.5) = 484

Hence the maximum height reached by Jason is 484feet

Answer 2

The maximum height that Jason reaches is h =  484 feet and it will be reached at t = 0.5 sec.

How to find the maximum of a polynomial function?

Let the function be denoted by [tex]y = f(x)[/tex]

If it is twice differentiable, then, firstly, we differentiate it with respect to x and equate with 0 to find the critical values.

Let the obtained critical values be [tex]x_1, x_2, ... x_n[/tex]

The second derivative of that function is then evaluated on those critical values.

The [tex]i^{th}[/tex] critical value has got the maximum if [tex]f''(x_i) < 0[/tex]

That means, if at  [tex]x = x_i[/tex] , we get

[tex]f'(x-i) = 0\\and\\f''(x_i) < 0[/tex]

Then that point is where function will have maximum.
If [tex]f''(x_i) > 0[/tex], then the point where the function will have minimum

If value of second rate at point [tex]x_i[/tex] is 0, then we go for third rate of function and check the same facts so on for upper rate(if they exist).

For the given case, we're given the height function as:

[tex]h(t) = - 16t^2 + 16t + 480[/tex]

The function is infinitely differentiable as its polynomial(by a theorem).

Its first and second rate with respect to 't', we get;

[tex]h(t) = - 16t^2 + 16t + 480\\h'(t) = -32t + 16\\h''(t) = -32 < 0[/tex]

Thus, all critical points will be maximum points.

The critical points are evaluated by [tex]h'(t) = 0[/tex]

They are calculated as:

[tex]h'(t) = 0\\-32t + 16 = 0\\t = 0.5 \: \rm sec[/tex]

The height at t = 0.5 s is evaluated as:

[tex]h(0.5) = - 16(0.5)^2 + 16(0.5) + 480 = 484 \: \rm feet[/tex]

Thus, at time 0.5, the height function will be at its maximum value(484 feet). That means, the height of Jason will be maximum when time will be 0.5 seconds from initial time.

Which number on the number line represents the OPPOSITE of -7/2? Select a place on the number line to plot the point.

Answers

Answer:

the answer would be 3 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

if you simplify -7/2 it would be -3 1/2, and the opposite of -3 1/2 is 3 1/2.  And from 0-3 there are 6 spaces, so every two spaces counts as 1. Therefore the point would go one spot after positive 3.

In a kindergarden class of 19 students, 100 addition problems can be completed in a mean time of 6 minutes. The
standard deviation is 1 minute.

How many students will finish before 5 minutes?

Answers

Answer:

3 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Two ways you can do this:

1. If you have a graphic calculator you can find the normal distribution function and enter the following values to get the probability of a student finished in less than 5 minutes:

Lower: 0

Upper: 5

Standard Deviation: 1

Mean: 6

This gives a probability of: 0.1587 (4.d.p)

2. You can use the formula and find the probability using the Z-table.

[tex]Z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

Substitute known values:

[tex]Z = \frac{5 - 6}{1}\\Z = -1/1 = -1\\[/tex]

It is one standard deviation to the left of the mean,.

Look up on Z-score table and we get: 0.1587 (4.d.p)

Now we need to find expected number. We do this by multiplying the probability by the amount of people:

0.1587 x x19 = 3.0153 rounded to 3 students.

Hope this helped!

First start with (6x3) + ( 8 x 5 ) + ( 9 x 1 ) + ( 10 x 7 ) + ( 12 x 4 ) + ( 13 x 2 ) + ( 14 x 1 ). This equals 225 pounds for all of the pumpkins. The baker buys all of them so multiply 225 by 0.30 since each pound costs 0.30. 225 x 0.30 = 67.5 and the baker pays a 100 dollars so 100 - 67.5 = 32.5. The answer is 32.5.

Length of parallelogram = 7.3 meter

Height of parallelogram = 5 meter

Find:

1. Total square inches glass need

2. Meter square paint need

Computation:

Total square inches glass need = Area of rectangle window

Area of rectangle window = l x b
