A foul tip of a baseball is hit straight upward from a height of 4 feet with an initial velocity of 88 feet per second. The func

tion s(t) = -16 t^2 + 88 t + 4 describes the​ ball's height above the​ ground, ​s(t)​, in​ feet, t seconds after it was hit.What is the instantaneous velocity of the ball 1 second after it is hit? 3 seconds after it is hit?

Answer:

at t = 1 s: +56 ft/s

at t = 3 s: -8 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that describes the heigth of the ball at time t is

s(t)=-16t^2+88t+4

where

4 ft is the initial height at t = 0

+88 ft/s is the initial velocity of the ball

-32 ft/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

The instantaneous velocity of the ball  can calculated as the derivative of the position.

Calculating the derivative of s(t) with respect to time, we find an expression for the instantaneous velocity:

v'(t)=\frac{ds(t)}{dt}=-2\cdot 16 t^{2-1} +88 t^{1-1}+4\\\rightarrow v(t) = -32t+88

Now we can find the value of the instantaneous velocity at various times t:

- At t = 1 second, we have

v(1)=-32\cdot 1 + 88 = 56 ft/s

- At t = 3 seconds, we have

v(3)=-32\cdot 3 + 88 =-8 ft/s

Two of the golf scores at the local tournament were unreadable, but the mean score was 85 and the lowest score was 75. if the re
Vika [28.1K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the readable scores are:

100, 82, 95, __ , 90, 81, 75, 83, __

We know the mean (or average) is 85, so:

85 = (100 + 82 + 95 + x + 90 + 81 + 75 + 83 + y) / 9

765 = 606 + x + y

159 = x + y

We know the lowest score is 75, so x and y must be at least 76.  Possible answers are:

76 and 83

77 and 82

78 and 81

79 and 80

80 and 79

81 and 78

82 and 77

83 and 76

Alex invests his money in an account paying 2% interest compounded semiannually. What is the effective annual yield on this acco
Travka [436]

Answer: 2.01%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose Alex invests $1 into the account for one year. The formula is A=P0⋅(1+rk)N⋅k with P0=$1. We know that r=0.02 and k=2 compounding periods per year. Now, N=1 year. Substituting the values we have A=$1⋅(1+0.022)2=$1.0201. Now, to calculate the effective annual yield, we will use the formula rEFF=A−P0P0. rEFF=1.0201−11=0.0201 or 2.01%. When rounded to two decimals, rEFF=2.01%. However, do not include the % in your answer.
