A baseball player throws a 95mph fastball straight up into the air. The position equation, which gives the height of the ball at

any time t, in seconds, is given by: s(t)=-16t^2+140t+37 a.) find the maximum height of the ball. b.) Find the time and velocity when the ball hits the ground.
I would really appreciate it if someone explained to me how to solve this!

Set s(t) = 0 which means it hits the ground.  The formula doesn't fit the parameters given as it shows that the pitcher is standing on something 37 feet high.
<span>s(t)=-16t^2+140t+37 and has an initial velocity of 140.
Graphing or solving this, t= 9 seconds when it hits the ground.
The velocity V(t) is the derivative of s(t)
V(t) = -32t+140
V(9) = -148 ft/second which is going down

18. The Sahara Desert is the largest desert in the world. It covers 3,500,000 square miles. The Australian Desert is the second
ruslelena [56]
Solution:
3,500,000 - 2,030,000 = 1,470,000 square miles
Explanation:
Let's fully understand what this word problem is saying. Break it down.
The Sahara Desert is the largest desert in the world.
The Australian Desert is the second largest desert. 
This means that the Australian Desert has an area that is less than the Sahara desert. 
We are given the size of the Sahara, which is 3,500,000 square miles, but not the size of the Australian desert.The area of the Australian desert is less by 2,030,000 square miles.This is the amount we have to subtract from the area of the Sahara to find the size of the Australian desert:
3,500,000-2,030,000= 1,470,000 square miles. Hope this helps!
