A ball is thrown upward from a height of 15 feet with an initial upward velocity of 5 feet per second. Use the formula b(t)= -16t^2 + 5t + 15 to find the time it takes for the ball to reach the maximum height of the ball. Round to the nearest tenth A. 0.2 seconds

B. 0.1 seconds

C. 0.3 seconds

D. 0.9 seconds

A) 0.2 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

<-- Take the derivative

<-- Set equal to 0

Therefore, it will take the ball about 0.2 seconds to reach its maximum height (which happens to be about 15.4 feet BTW).

Alternatively, another non-calculus approach is the fact that the parabola opens downward, and as such, the maximum of occurs at the vertex where , therefore

constants mean the stopped points or the points on a graph that nothing is changing, hope this

step-by-step explanation:

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
