The altitude of an object, d, can be modeled using the equation below. d=-16t^2+vh+h. where v is the initial velocity and h is the initial height. A catapult launches a stone with an initial velocity of 48 feet per second and an initial height of 0 feet. How long will the stone be in flight?

The stone will be in flight for 3 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation;

d = -16t^2 + vt + h

Where;

v = the initial velocity

h = the initial height

Given;

v = 48 ft/s

h = 0

Substituting into function d;

d = -16t^2 + 48t + 0

d = -16t^2 + 48t

At the point of launch and the point of landing d = 0.

We need to calculate the values of t for d to be equal to zero.

d = -16t^2 + 48t = 0

-16t^2 + 48t = 0

Factorising, we have;

16(-t+3)t = 0

So,

t = 0 or -t+3 = 0

t= 0 or t =3

Change in t is;

∆t = t2 - t1 = 3 - 0

∆t = 3 seconds.

The stone will be in flight for 3 seconds.

pentagon

step-by-step explanation:

the coordinates   a(5, -2), b(3,-1),c(-4,-4) d(-3,8) and e(-1,4) forms the vertices of the polygon when they are connected in order.

in order to classify that which polygon is it with the given coordinates, first count the number of vertices and then count the number of sides it can make with these vertices.

since, the given coordinates have five vertices, therefore, it will make five sides. moreover, pentagon is regular in nature therefore it will be convex.

now, a polygon with five sides is known as pentagon, therefore, the given polygon is the pentagon.
