Answer:

6.21 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The position function of a free-falling object is,

s(t) = -16t^2+v_0t+s_0

Where,

s_0 = initial height of the object,

v_0 = initial velocity of the object,

Here,

s_0=400\text{ feet}

v_0=35\text{ feet per sec}

Hence, the height of the ball after t seconds,

s(t)=-16t^2+35t+400

When s(t) = 0,

\implies -16t^2+35t+400=0

t=\frac{-35\pm \sqrt{35^2-4\times -16\times 400}}{2\times -16}

t=\frac{-35\pm \sqrt{1225+25600}}{-32}

\implies t\approx -4.02\text{ or }t\approx 6.21

∵ Time cannot be negative,

Hence, after 6.21 seconds the ball will reach the ground.

Eddie took out a 14-year loan for $72,000 at an APR of 4.7%, compounded monthly, while Lee took out a 14-year loan for $92,000 a
marishachu [46]
**Eddie: $72000/(14yr*12mo)=428.6$/mo+428.6$*(4.7%)/100%
Eddie pays 428.6$/mo+20.14$/mo. If he pays off his loan 6 years earlier he would save: $20.14*6yr*12mo= $1450.08
**Lee: $92000/(14yr*12mo)=547.62$/mo+547.62$*(4.7%)/100%
Lee pays 547.62$/mo+25.74$/mo. If he pays off his loan 6 years earlier he would save: $25.74*6yr*12mo=$1853.28

So its A. <span>Lee would save more, since he has $20,000 more in principal.</span>
