Question

1. Anthony threw a ball from the top of a 10-story building that was 165 feet

tall. The equation g(165 - h) = v2 can be used to find the maximum

height the ball can attain after being thrown from the top of the building,

Rewrite the equation to highlight the maximum height attained by the

ball, h.

Answer 1

`h = 165 - (v^2)/(g)`

Explanation:

Given

`g(165 - h) = v^2`

Required

Make h the subject

`g(165 - h) = v^2`

Divide both sides by g

`165 - h = (v^2)/(g)`

Subtract 165 from both sides

`165 - 165 - h = (v^2)/(g) - 165`

`- h = (v^2)/(g) - 165`

Multiply both sides by -1

`-1 * - h = ((v^2)/(g) - 165)*-1`

`h = 165 - (v^2)/(g)`
