A ball is thrown into the air. The function h(x) = −16(x − 2)2 + 72 models the height, in feet, of the ball after x seconds. What is the equation in standard form, and what is the maximum height of the ball?
A. h(x) = −16x2 + 32x + 72; 72 ft
B. h(x) = −16x2 − 32x + 72; 32 ft
C. h(x) = −16x2 − 64x + 32; 32 ft
D. h(x) = −16x2 + 64x + 8; 72 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation in standard form, and the maximum height of the ball can only be:

B. h(x) = -16x2 - 32x + 72; 32 ft

step-by-step explanation:

conditional probability is defined as:

p(a|b) = p(a∩b) / p(b)

in other words, the probability that a occurs, given that b has occurred = the probability that both a and b occur / the probability that b occurs.

in this example:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = p(turns 64 & turns 44) / p(turns 44).

if someone turns 64, they must have already turned 44, so:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = p(turns 64) / p(turns 44)

on page 42, we see that of the original 100,000, 94944 turn 44, and 81234 turn 64.   therefore:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = 81234 / 94944

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = 0.85560
