A ball is thrown straight up into the air from the top of a building standing at 50 feet with an initial velocity of 65 feet per second the height of the ball in feet can be modeled by the following function: h(t)=-16t^2++16t+96 When does the ball reach its maximum height?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

0.5 seconds (at 100 feet in the air).

Step-by-step explanation:

So, the height of the ball can be modeled by the function:

$h(t)=-16t^2+16t+96$

Where h(t) represents the height in feet after t seconds.

And we want to find its maximum height.

Notice that our function is a quadratic.

Therefore, the maximum height will occur at the vertex of our function.

The vertex of a quadratic function in standard form is given by the formula:

$(-(b)/(2a), f(-(b)/(2a)))$

In our function, a=-16; b=16; and c=96.

Find the x-coordinate of the vertex:

$x=-((16))/(2(-16))=1/2$

So, the ball reaches its maximum height after 0.5 seconds of its projection.

Notes:

To find it’s maximum height, we can substitute 1/2 for our function and evaluate. So:

$h(1/2)=-16(1/2)^2+16(1/2)+96$

Evaluate:

$h(1/2)=-4+8+96=100$

So, the ball reaches its maximum height of 100 feet 0.5 seconds after its projection.

Cost of a dozen pens is ₹ 180 and cost of 8 ball pens is ₹ 56. Find the ratio of the cost of a pen to the cost of a ball pen. [1 ½ m]

Answers

Answer:

Ratio of cost of a pen to cost of a ball pen is 15:7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Cost of dozen pens = ₹180

Unit rate = $(180)/(12)$

Unit rate = ₹ 15 per pen

Cost of 8 ball pens = ₹ 56

Unit rate = $(56)/(8)$

Unit rate = ₹7 per ball pen

Ratio of cost of a pen to cost of a ball pen,

15 : 7

Hence,

Ratio of cost of a pen to cost of a ball pen is 15:7
