Math Problem Statement

Find h if h = 112 + 128t - 16t^2 and for a. t = 2, b. t = 6

Solution

The equation provided in your homework is:

h=112+128t16t2h = 112 + 128t - 16t^2

You are asked to find hh for two different values of tt:

  1. t=2t = 2
  2. t=6t = 6

Let's solve for both cases.

a. For t=2t = 2:

Substitute t=2t = 2 into the equation for hh:

h=112+128(2)16(22)h = 112 + 128(2) - 16(2^2) h=112+25616(4)h = 112 + 256 - 16(4) h=112+25664h = 112 + 256 - 64 h=304h = 304

b. For t=6t = 6:

Substitute t=6t = 6 into the equation for hh:

h=112+128(6)16(62)h = 112 + 128(6) - 16(6^2) h=112+76816(36)h = 112 + 768 - 16(36) h=112+768576h = 112 + 768 - 576 h=304h = 304

So for both values t=2t = 2 and t=6t = 6, h=304h = 304.

  1. How can you find the vertex of the quadratic equation h=112+128t16t2h = 112 + 128t - 16t^2?
  2. What is the significance of the t2t^2 term in the equation?
  3. How can you determine when hh reaches its maximum value?
  4. Can you find when h=0h = 0 by solving the quadratic equation?
  5. How would you graph this equation and identify its key features?

Tip: When dealing with quadratic equations, remember that they often represent parabolas, and the term with t2t^2 controls the curvature.
