A ball is thrown from a height of 139 feet with an initial downward velocity of 15 ft/s. The ball's height h (in feet) after t s

econds is given by the following.
h=139-15t-16t^2

How long after the ball is thrown does it hit the ground?

Answer:

t = 2.52 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

h=139-15t-16t^2

We want to know when the ball hits the ground

That would be when h=0

0 = 139-15t-16t^2

We can use the quadratic formula to find t

t = -b ± sqrt(b^2-4ac)

       ----------------------

          2a

where a = -16   b = -15  and c = 139

t = -(-15) ± sqrt((-15)^2-4(-16)139)

       ----------------------

          2(-16)

t = (15) ± sqrt(225+8896)

       ----------------------

          -32

t = (15) ± sqrt(9121)

       ----------------------

          -32

t = 15+ sqrt(9121)                       t = 15- sqrt(9121)

     --------------------   or                    -------------------  

           -32                                               -32

        -3.453247707        or              2.515747707

Since time cannot be negative

 2.515747707

Round to the nearest hundredth

t = 2.52 seconds

ivolga24 [154]
I'm pretty sure that u multiply 12 and 5 and u get 60 and that's in only one box just 60lbs then u find how many pounds in a ton which is 2,000 then u have 3 tons so multiple 2,000 and 3 and u get 6,000 so then u divide 60 and 6,000 and u get 100 I'm pretty sure that's how u do it

saw5 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

First

since its follow the pattern Intercept Max... Intercept Min...

Its a positive sine graph

Asin(B(x-0))<0.25

A=1

B=2π/period

period From the graph = 2π

B=2π/2π

B=1

Sin(x)<0.25

I'd go with C.
