A soccer ball is kicked from 3 feet above the ground. the height,h, in feet of the ball after t seconds is given by the function

h=-16t^2+64t+3
find the time it takes for the ball to return back to ground level.

find the maximum height rescued by the ball.

Here's our equation.

h=-16t+64t+3

We want to find out when it returns to ground level (h = 0)

To find this out, we can plug in 0 and solve for t.

0 = -16t+64t+3 \\ 16t-64t-3=0 \\ use\ the\ quadratic\ formula\ \frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}  \\ \frac{-(-64)\±\sqrt{(-64)^2-4(16)(-3)}}{2*16}  = \frac{64\±\sqrt{4096+192}}{32}

= \frac{64\±\sqrt{4288}}{32} = \frac{64\±8\sqrt{67}}{32} = \frac{8\±\sqrt{67}}{4} = \boxed{\frac{8+\sqrt{67}}{4}\ or\ 2-\frac{\sqrt{67}}{4}}

So the ball will return to the ground at the positive value of \boxed{\frac{8+\sqrt{67}}{4}} seconds.

What about the vertex? Simple! Since all parabolas are symmetrical, we can just take the average between our two answers from above to find t at the vertex and then plug it in to find h!

\frac{1}2(\frac{8+\sqrt{67}}{4}+2-\frac{\sqrt{67}}{4}) = \frac{1}2(2+\frac{\sqrt{67}}{4}+2-\frac{\sqrt{67}}{4}) = \frac{1}2(4) = 2

h=-16t^2+64t+3 \\ h=-16(2)^2+64(2)+3 \\ \boxed{h=67}

Jana hit a golf ball with an initial velocity of 102 ft per second at an angle of 67 degrees with the horizontal. After 2 second
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Horizontal distance x(t) = ut cos θ
x(2) = 102 * 2 * cos 67 = 79.7 ft.

Vertical distance y(t) = ut sin θ - 1/2 gt^2
y(3) = 102 * 2 * sin 67 - 1/2 * 9.8 * (3)^2 = 187.78 - 44.1 = 143.7 ft.

Write the first 5 terms of the<br> sequence an = 3n – 4
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

- 1, 2, 5, 8, 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 into the n th term formula

a₁ = 3(1) - 4 = 3 - 4 = - 1

a₂ = 3(2) - 4 = 6 - 4 = 2

a₃ = 3(3) - 4 = 9 - 4 = 5

a₄ = 3(4) - 4 = 12 - 4 = 8

a₅ = 3(5) - 4 = 15 - 4 = 11

The first 5 terms are - 1, 2, 5, 8, 11
