Answer:

As per the statement:

A ball is thrown straight up from the top of a tower that is 280 ft high with an initial velocity of 48 ft/s .

Given the height of the object can be modeled by the equation:

s(t) = -16t^2+48t+280

where, t is the time in sec.

Since, we have the height s(t) = 280 ft

⇒280 = -16t^2+48t+280

Subtract 280 from both sides we have;

⇒0= -16t^2+48t

⇒0 = -16t(t-3)

By zero product property we have;

t = 0 and t-3 = 0

⇒t = 0 and t = 3

so, we need 3 second,  after that the ball is lower than the building.

Now, time to reach the ground

Substitute s(t) = 0

0= -16t^2+48t+280

or

-16t^2+48t+280 = 0

⇒-2t+6t+35 = 0

⇒t = -2.9441 and t = 5.9441

Since, t cannot be in negative

⇒t = 5.9441 s

so, at time t = 5.9441 sec it reaches ground.

Therefore, Interval where the height  of the ball is lower than the building is,

(3, 5.9441]

First find the time that the ball is level with the top of the building on its descent. You can do this by  solving 280 = -16^2 + 48t + 280 for t. This gives t = 3 seconds . 
Then when the ball reaches the ground the  time t is obtained by solving 0 = -16t^2 + 48t + 280  This gives t = 5.94 seconds.
Answer in interval notation is  (3, 5.94].

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

+ or - square root of 5, and + or - i

Step-by-step explanation:

(x^2 + 5)(x^2 + 1)= 0

Set each set of parentheses equal to zero:

x^2 + 5 = 0; x^2 = -5, so x will equal plus or minus i times the square root of 5.

X^2 +1 = 0; x^2 = -1, so x will equal plus or minus i times the square root of one, which is just i

Please help i dont understand

Your answer would be 46.50 because you would divide 31 in half (for the 50%) then add that to the 31. So 31+15.50= $46.50 hope this helps. If not let me know
