Joan kicked a soccer ball. The height of the ball, h, in metres, can be modelled by h =-1.2x^2 + 6x , where x is the horizontal distance, in metres, from where she kicked the ball.

7.5m

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are not asked what to look for we can find the maximum height reached by the ball

The ball reaches its maximum height when dh/dx = 0

dh/dx = -2.4x + 6

0 = -2.4x + 6

2.4x = 6

x = 6/2.4

x = 2.5

Get the max height

Recall:

h =-1.2x^2 + 6x ,

h(2.5) = -1.2(2.5)^2 + 6(2.5)

h(2.5) = -1.2(6.25)+15

h(2.5) = -7.5 + 15

h = 7.5

Hence the maximum height reached by the ball is 7.5m

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

c) the median for town a 30" is greater than the median for town b 25"

step-by-step explanation:

town a, median = q2 = 30

town b, median - q2 = 25

so the median for town a 30" is greater than the median for town b 25"
