Perez throws a stone on the pond. The path traveled by the stone can be modeled by y = -2x2 + 8x + 5, where x represents the time (in seconds) and y represents the height of the stone (in feet). What is the maximum height that the stone reaches

The maximum height that the stone reaches is of 26 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex of a quadratic function:

Suppose we have a quadratic function in the following format:

It's vertex is the point

In which

Where

If a<0, the vertex is a maximum point, that is, the maximum value happens at , and it's value is .

y = -2x2 + 8x + 5

Quadratic function with

What is the maximum height that the stone reaches?

y value of the vertex. So

The maximum height that the stone reaches is of 26 feet.

step-by-step explanation:

answer: expected value of x = 1.0

step-by-step explanation:

p(x=0) = 0.25

p(x=1) = 0.50

p(x=2) = 0.25

expected value for x = 0×0.25 + 1×0.5 + 2×0.25 = 1.0
