It is in the air 5.625 seconds.

Using the quadratic formula,

t=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}
\\
\\=\frac{-90\pm \sqrt{90^2-4(-16)(0)}}{2(-16)}
\\
\\=\frac{-90\pm \sqrt{8100-0}}{-32}
\\
\\=\frac{-90\pm \sqrt{8100}}{-32}=\frac{-90\pm90}{-32}
\\
\\=\frac{-90+90}{-32}\text{ or }\frac{-90-90}{-32}=\frac{0}{32}\text{ or }\frac{-180}{-32}
\\
\\=0\text{ or }5.625

0 is when the ball is first launched, 5.625 is when it hits the ground again.

Simplify: 8i^7+6i^5-5i^3-3i^2-7i-9
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
<span>Consider the remainder of the division of the power exponent of i by 4.
For a remainder r equal to 0, 1, 2 or 3, we have a power equal to 1, i, -1 or -i respectively, therefore:

</span>8i^7+6i^5-5i^3-3i^2-7i-9 =
8*(-i) + 6*i - 5*(-i) - 3*(-1) - 7i - 9 =
- 8i + 6i + 5i + 3 - 7i - 9 =
3 - 9 - 8i + 6i + 5i- 7i =
=\boxed{- 6 - 4i}

Answer:
\boxed{- 6 - 4i}
