Please help Ming throws a stone off a bridge into a river below. The stone's height (in meters above the water), x seconds after Ming threw it, is modeled by: h(x)= -5*(x-1)^2+45 What is the maximum height that the stone will reach?

45 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x) = -5(x - 1)^2 + 45

The maximum height occurs when  the time x  is such that -5(x - 1)^2 is a maximum  which is 0. This occurs when x = 1. when x = 1.

So the answer is 45 feet.

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.  

answer: x=3 and y=4
