John and Steve are building catapults to hurl pumpkins in the Pumpkin Chucking World Championships. John’s catapult can be modeled by the equation h(t)=−16(t-4)²+100.
Steve’s catapult can be modeled by the equation h(t)=−16t²+96t+112.
Whose catapult will launch the highest?

connie < felicia < stew

step-by-step explanation:

stew:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (2650-795)/(10-3)

    = 1855/7

connie:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

we have two points (0,0) and (4,800)

m = (800-0)/(4-0)

  m = 800/4

connie < felicia < stew

2/3

step-by-step explanation:

-8/2y-8=5/y+4-7y+8/y^2-16

we move all terms to the left:

-8/2y-8-(5/y+4-7y+8/y^2-16)=0

we can not solve this equation
