Suppose you throw a ball straight up from the ground with a velocity of 224 feet per second. as the ball moves up, gravity slows

it. eventually, the ball begins to fall back to the ground. the height h of thr ball after t seconds in the air is given by the equation h=-16t^2 + 224t. use the given information to answer.
a. find the height of the ball after four seconds. (type a whole number)

b. how long will it take the ball to reach a height of 768 ft?

c. how long after you throw the ball will it return to the ground? (type w whole number)

Answer:

  a) 640 ft

  b) 6 seconds (the first time)

  c) 14 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

These problems are solved by using the given equation for the height of the thrown ball with the given values, and solving for the unknown value.

__

<h3>a. height after a time</h3>

To find the height at a specific time, substitute the time value for t in the height formula and do the arithmetic.

For t = 4, we have ...

  h = -16t² +224t = (-16(4) +224)(4) = 160(4) = 640

The height after 4 seconds is 640 ft.

__

<h3>b. time for a height</h3>

The time required to reach a specific height is found by solving the quadratic equation with h equal to the height value. It can be easier if the equation is in vertex form.

  h = -16t² +224t = -16(t² -14t) = -16(t² -14t +49) +784 = -16(t -7)² +784

We want the time to a height of 768 ft, so ...

  768 = -16(t -7)² +784

  -16/-16 = (t -7)² . . . . . . . . subtract 784, divide by -16

  ±√1 = t -7 . . . . . . . . . take the square root

  t = 7 ±1 = 6 or 8 . . . . . . add 7

The ball will be at a height of 768 ft after 6 seconds, and again after 8 seconds.

__

<h3>c. time to reach the ground</h3>

The equation from part b applies.

  0 = -16(t -7)² +784 . . . . . . . . the height is 0 when the ball is on the ground

  -784/-16 = (t -7)² = 49 . . . . . subtract 784, divide by -16

  √49 = t -7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . take the positive square root

  t = 14 . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 7

The ball will return to the ground after 14 seconds.

Nichole's rotating sprinkler waters her lawn up to a radius of 7 feet. What is the maximum number of square feet of lawn Nichole
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

153.9 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Radius of circular lawn = 7 feets

To obtain the maximum number of square feet of lawn Nichole can expect the sprinkler to cover ; find the area of the lawn

Area of a circle, A = πr²

A = π * 7 * 7

A = 153.93804

A = 153.9 ft²

Find the standard deviation of 21, 31, 26, 24, 28, 26
Vesnalui [34]

Given the dataset

x = \{21,\ 31,\ 26,\ 24,\ 28,\ 26\}

We start by computing the average:

\overline{x} = \dfrac{21+31+26+24+28+26}{6}=\dfrac{156}{6}=26

We compute the difference bewteen each element and the average:

x-\overline{x} = \{-6,\ 5,\ 0,\ -2,\ 2,\ 0\}

We square those differences:

(x-\overline{x})^2 = \{36,\ 25,\ 0,\ 4,\ 4,\ 0\}

And take the average of those squared differences: we sum them

\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^n (x-\overline{x})^2=36+25+4+4+0+0=69

And we divide by the number of elements:

\displaystyle \sigma^2=\dfrac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x-\overline{x})^2}{n} = \dfrac{69}{6} = 11.5

Finally, we take the square root of this quantity and we have the standard deviation:

\displaystyle\sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x-\overline{x})^2}{n}} = \sqrt{11.5}\approx 3.39
