Richard tosses a ball into the altThe function b(t) = - 5t ^ 2 + 10t + 6 the the ball itDoes the a height of 12 m?

Sagot :

Answer:Nope

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation, b(t) = - 5t ^ 2 + 10t + 6, is a parabola with a vertex.  We must find whether that vertex is equal to or exceeds 12m.  One can graph the equation and find that the vertex is at (1,11), below the 12.  It cannot reach 12 meters.

[One may also differentiate the equation and set it equal to zero (the point at which the slope of the parabola is zero, which will be at the vertex as it begins downward)].
