A ball is shot upward such that its height (in feet) above the ground after t seconds is h(t) = -16t2 + 96t + 5. What is the ball's maximum height?

149 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

you have a quadratic equation and you need to fid it's vertex because that is the max height

h(t)= -16t² +96t +5

the x coordinate of the vertex is x= -b/2a for f(x)= ax²+bx+c so in our case

x=  = 3 , now we know that the vertex bbelongs to the graph so should verify the equation so we substitute t of the value of x=3 to find y

y= -16*3²+96*3+5= -144+288+5=149

the max height is the coordinate of y because it tels us how much it went up

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

lets take a coin for example.

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%
