By applying the <em>quadratic</em> formula and discriminant of the <em>quadratic</em> formula, we find that the <em>maximum</em> height of the ball is equal to 75.926 meters.

<h3>How to determine the maximum height of the ball</h3>

Herein we have a <em>quadratic</em> equation that models the height of a ball in time and the <em>maximum</em> height represents the vertex of the parabola, hence we must use the <em>quadratic</em> formula for the following expression:

- 4.8 · t² + 19.9 · t + (55.3 - h) = 0

The height of the ball is a maximum when the discriminant is equal to zero:

19.9² - 4 · (- 4.8) · (55.3 - h) = 0

396.01 + 19.2 · (55.3 - h) = 0

19.2 · (55.3 - h) = -396.01

55.3 - h = -20.626

h = 55.3 + 20.626

h = 75.926 m

By applying the <em>quadratic</em> formula and discriminant of the <em>quadratic</em> formula, we find that the <em>maximum</em> height of the ball is equal to 75.926 meters.

Write the fraction as an equivalent fraction with the given denominator 7/4 = _/20
zzz [600]

Answer:

35/20

Step-by-step explanation:

20 divided by 4 = 5

so our multiple is 5

5 x 4 = 20

so we have to do the same to the numerator

5 x 7 = 35

Simplified= 1 3/5
