I’m not that smart... but let me use first as example.. 240 divided by 4
Add y to both sides then do the algebra
~ Convert the decimal number to a fraction by placing the decimal number over a power of ten.
~ Next, add the whole number to the left of the decimal.
2 25/100
~ Reduce the fractional part of the mixed number.
2 1/4
Answer: 2 1/4
Hope this helps :)
#1) 4.445 ft
#2) yes
Explanation
#1) The maximum height is the y-coordinate of the vertex. We first find the axis of symmetry, given by x=-b/2a:
x=-0.17/2(-0.005) = -0.17/-0.01 = 17
Plugging this into the equation,
y=-0.005(17²)+0.17(17)+3 = 4.445
#2) Substituting 30 into the equation,
y=-0.005(30²) + 0.17(30) + 3 = 3.6
The ball will 3.6 in the air, so yes, it will clear the 3 ft tall net.
