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

Consider the accompanying data on flexural strength (MPa) for concrete beams of a certain type.
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

The point estimate for population mean is 8.129 Mpa.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Data on flexural strength(MPa) for concrete beams of a certain type:

11.8, 7.7, 6.5, 6.8, 9.7, 6.8, 7.3, 7.9, 9.7, 8.7, 8.1, 8.5, 6.3, 7.0, 7.3, 7.4, 5.3, 9.0, 8.1, 11.3, 6.3, 7.2, 7.7, 7.8, 11.6, 10.7, 7.0

a) Point estimate of the mean value of strength for the conceptual population of all beams manufactured

We use the sample mean, \bar{x} as the point estimate for population mean.

Formula:

Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}

\bar{x} = \dfrac{\sum x_i}{n} = \dfrac{219.5}{27} = 8.129

Thus, the point estimate for population mean is 8.129 Mpa.

The perimeter of a rectangular garden is 352m. If the width of the garden is 83m, what is its side length?
Kipish [7]

Answer:

L=93

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle is 2(L+W)

So 2(L+83)=352

L+83=176

L=93

Ex 2.8<br> 3. find the maximum value of y for the curve y=x^5 -3 for -2≤x≤1
harkovskaia [24]
y=x^5-3\\ y'=5x^4\\\\ 5x^4=0\\ x=0\\ 0\in [-2,1]\\\\ y''=20x^3\\\\&#10;y''(0)=20\cdot0^3=0

The value of the second derivative for x=0 is neither positive nor negative, so you can't tell whether this point is a minimum or a maximum. You need to check the values of the first derivative around the point.
But the value of 5x^4 is always positive for x\in\mathbb{R}\setminus \{0\}. That means at x=0 there's neither minimum nor maximum.
The maximum must be then at either of the endpoints of the interval [-2,1].
The function y is increasing in its entire domain, so the maximum value is at the right endpoint of the interval.

y_{max}=y(1)=1^5-3=-2
