A ball is thrown into the air with an upward velocity of 80ft/s. Its height H in feet after T seconds id given by the function H

= -16T^2+80T+5. What is the maximum height the ball reaches? How long will it take the ball to reach maximum height? How long does it take for the mall to be caught 5 feet off the ground?
All I really need help on is the last one.
Will some one plz help me.

1. The function H= -16T^2+80T+5 is a parabola of the form a x^{2} +bx+c, so to find the maximum height of the ball, we are going to find the y-coordinate of the vertex of the parabola. To find the y-coordinate of the vertex we are going to evaluate the function at the point \frac{-b}{2a}.
From our function we can infer that b=80 and a=-16, so the point \frac{-b}{2a} [/tex] will be \frac{-80}{-2(16)} = \frac{5}{2}. Lets evaluate the function at that point:
h=-16t^2+80t+5
h=-16( \frac{5}{2} )^2+80( \frac{5}{2} )+5
h=105

We can conclude that the ball reaches a maximum height of 105 feet.

2. Since we now know that the maximum height the ball reaches is 105 feet, we are going to replace h with 105 in our function, then we are going to solve for t to find how long the ball takes to reach its maximum height:
h=-16t^2+80t+5
105=-16t^{2}+80t+5
-16t^2+80t-100=0
-4(4t^{2}+20t-25)=0
4(2t-5)^2=0
2t-5=0
t= \frac{5}{2}
t=2.5

We can conclude that the ball reaches its maximum height in 2.5 seconds.

3. Just like before, we are going to replace h with 5 in our original function, then we are going to solve for t to find how long will take for the ball to be caught 5 feet off the ground:
h=-16t^2+80t+5
5=-16t^2+80t+5
-16t^{2}+80t=0
-16t(t-5)=0
t-5=0
t=5

We can conclude that it takes 5 seconds for the ball to be caught 5 feet off the ground.

What would 5.36 be in a fraction<br> Please explain how you got the answer too.
garri49 [273]
So you have 5.36
that is 5 wholes and 0.36
0.36 can be written on a fraction of 36/100
simplify it to 9/25
Now you have the mixed number
5  9/25 or to write it into an improper fraction... multiply 25 * 5 then add 9, that is 134/25.

Hope this helps
