An outfielder throws a baseball to the player on third base. The height h of the ball in feet is modeled by the function h(t) =

-16t2 + 19t + 5, where t is time in seconds. The third baseman catches the ball when it is 4 feet above the ground. To the nearest tenth of a second, how long was the ball in the air before it was caught?

4=-16t^2+19t+5 
<span>16t^2-19t-1=0 </span>
<span>quadform is (-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2/a </span>

<span>a=16 </span>
<span>b=-19 </span>
<span>c=-1 
</span>Plug in to the quadratic formula.
<span>1.238 and -.0505.
cant be negative, so it has to be 1.238.</span>

-16 t² + 19 t + 5 = 4
-16t² + 19 t + 1 = 0
t_{12} = \frac{-19\pm \sqrt{19^{2}-4*(-16)* 1 } }{-32}= \\  \frac{-19\pm \sqrt{361+64} }{-32} =  \frac{-19\pm20.61}{-32}
We will accept: ( another answer is negative )
t = 1.2 s ( to the nearest tenth ) 
Answer: the ball was 1.2 seconds in the air before it was caught.

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

∠2 = 41°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠2 + 49° + 90° = 180°

∠2 + 139° = 180°

∠2 = 180° - 139°

∠2 = 41°

Show all work to identify the asymptotes and zero of the function f of x equals 5 x over quantity x squared minus 25.
Lorico [155]

Answer:

  • asymptotes: x = -5, x = 5
  • zero: x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The function of interest is ...

  f(x)=\dfrac{5x}{x^2-25}=\dfrac{5x}{(x-5)(x+5)}

The asymptotes are found where the denominator is zero. It will be zero when either factor is zero, so at x = 5 and x = -5

__

The zeros are found where the numerator is zero. It will be zero for x = 0.

The asymptotes are x=-5, x=5; the zero is x=0.

The distance from Houston to
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

distance from Houston to Galveston in  kilometers will be: 80km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The distance from Houston to  Galveston is about 50 miles.

i.e.

Kilometers in 1 Mile = 1.6 km

As the distance from Houston to  Galveston is about 50 miles, so

The distance from Houston to Galveston in  kilometers will be:

50(1.6) = 80   ∵ Kilometers in 1 Mile = 1.6 km

Therefore,

The distance from Houston to Galveston in  kilometers will be: 80km
