A softball player throws a ball into the air with an initial velocity of 32 feet per second. The ball is released at a height of

5 feet. The function h(t) = -16t^{2}+32t+5 models the height h (in feet) of the ball as a function of the time t (in seconds) after it is thrown. Use the equation to find the time that the ball is in the air if the player lets the ball drop

The time that the ball is in the air if the player lets the ball drop is 2.145 sec

What is a quadratic equation?

A quadratic equation is an algebraic equation of the second degree in x. The quadratic equation in its standard form is ax²+ bx + c = 0, where a and b are the coefficients, x is the variable, and c is the constant term.

-16t²+32t+5

by comparing this equation to the standard form of the quadratic equation we get

a=-16 b=32 c=5

the time (t) needed for the ball to reach its maximum height using the axis of symmetry formula (x = -b/2a) for a parabola:

the time at which the ball reaches the maximum height using the axis of symmetry formula is (x=-b/2a)

t = -32/2×-16

t=1sec

by putting h(t) to zero and determining the time (t) when the ball hits the ground:

-16t²+32t+5=0

-16(t²+2t+5/16)=0

t²-2t-5/16=0

(t)²-2×1×t+(1)²-5/16=1

(t-1)²=21/16

t-1=√21/√16

t=1+4.58/4

t=1+1.145

t=2.245sec

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

5a  

2

+4ab+5b  

2

Step-by-step explanation:

step  1. (((0-(4•(a2)))+3ab)+(12•(b2)))+(((9•(a2))+ab)-7b2)

 step 2. (((0-(4•(a2)))+3ab)+(12•(b2)))+((32a2+ab)-7b2)

step 3.(((0-(4•(a2)))+3ab)+(22•3b2))+(9a2+ab-7b2)

step 4. (((0-(4•(a2)))+3ab)+(22•3b2))+(9a2+ab-7b2)

step 5. 5.1    Factoring    5a2 + 4ab + 5b2

Can someone help me with this <br> 1+2x&lt;9 ​
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

x < 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that: 1 + 2x < 9. Let's solve this as if the < sign was an = sign:

1 + 2x < 9

Isolate the variable:

2x < 9 - 1

2x < 8

Divide by 2:

x < 8/2

x < 4

The answer is x < 4.
