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

noname [10]
Since we need your monthly bill we will call it the variable B for now, (Unless you have the bill, if so replace it with the variable)
Multiply 1.64 x B since the exchange rate is different than the US bill,
For example, say your bill is $100 in the U.S.
You do 1.64 x 100 = A monthly bill of $164 if you lived in Britain

Given the triangle below, what is the measure of x to the nearest foot?
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

18 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is right angled ; we could use trigonometry ;

Using the angle , 40° ; adjacent side, = 14 feets ; hypotenus = x

Cos θ = Adjacent / hypotenus

Cos 40 = 14 / x

0.7660444 = 14 / x

0.7660444x = 14

x = 14 / 0.7660444

x = 18.27

= 18 ( nearest foot)
