Mathematical Induction Questions and Answers
Math
Mathematical InductionA ball is thrown upward with a velocity of 56 ft/sec, and its height (in feet) after 't' seconds is given by the function
h(t) = -16t² + 56t.
What is the maximum height attained by the ball and how long did it take to reach
that height?
1) The ball reached a maximum height of 40 feet after 1 second.
2) The ball reached a maximum height of 1.75 feet after 49 seconds.
3) The ball reached a maximum height of 48 feet after 1.5 seconds.
4) The ball reached a maximum height of 49 feet after 1.75 seconds.

Mathematical InductionThe human population doubles approximately every 50 years. If there were 2,500,000 people in 1950, how many people are forecasted to populate the earth in 2050?
First, complete the equation:
Future Amount = 2,500,000 (1 + 1)²
Now solve.
Future Amount = [? ] people
