An object is launched directly in the air at a speed of 144 feet per second from a platform located 12 feet in the air. The motion of the object can be modeled using the function f(t)=-16t2+144t+12, where t is the time in seconds and f(t) is the height of the object. When, in seconds, will the object reach its maximum height? After how many seconds will it touch the ground? Round to the nearest tenth
Maximum height: 4.5
Ground: 9.1 seconds
Describe the end behavior of the following function:
f(x)=-0.4(2x-9)(3x+1)(x-7)(x+9)(3x-1)
rising as x approaches negative infinity and falling as x approaches positive infinity
Using the leading term, state the end behavior of the polynomial:
f(x) = -5x6 + 4x5 - 15x4 + 3x3 - 2x + 1
As x approaches infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity.
As x approaches negative infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity.
