MEDAL AND FAN! QUESTION BELOW

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

26 = -16t^2 +4t+26

OpenStudy (anonymous):

simplify that then best you can.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let h = 26, and solve for t.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you then would have 0 = -16t^2 +4t, right?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

in choices it says sec, so I thought it is trigonometric sec (x) :)

OpenStudy (amilapsn):

Just substitute the given answers and check if h will be 26.. that's the easiest way!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THANKS GUYS! idk who to medal though xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16t^2 - 4t =0 t(16t - 4) = 0 t= 1/4

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

let me show you something here very quick. \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm {h} = -16t^2+4t+26 }\) \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm {h} = -16t^2+4t-4+30 }\) \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm {h} = -16(t^2-\frac{1}{4}t+\frac{1}{4})+30 }\) \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm {h} = -16(t-\frac{1}{2})^2+30 }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm {y} =a(x-h)^2+k~~~~~~~\color{black}{\rm{center:~~(x,h)}} }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Sorry for the late reply, but your function is a vertical, ∩-shaped parabola.
