Question

A ball is thrown from an initial height of 2 meters with an initial upward velocity of 20 m/s. The ball's height h (in meters) after t seconds is given by the following.
Find all values of t for which the ball's height is 7 meters.

h = 2 + 20t - 5t^2

Round your answer(s) to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

Answer:0.27

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we convert the fraction to a decimal number by dividing the numerator by the denominator:

4 / 15 = 0.266

There are two parts to the decimal number above:

Integer Part: 0

Fractional Part: 266

Now, we will make the Fractional Part just two digits (nearest hundredth) by using our rounding rules.*

In this case, Rule II applies, so 4/15 (or 0.266) rounded to the nearest hundredth in decimal format is:

0.27
