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.

For her 1st birthday, Ruth's grandparents invested $1000 in an 18-year certificate for her that pays 10% compounded annually. Ho
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The certificate will be worth $5,559.92 on Ruth's 19th birthday.

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound interest formula is given by:

A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}

Where A is the amount of money, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per unit t and t is the time the money is invested or borrowed for.

In this problem, we have that:

P = 1000, n = 1, r = 0.1, t = 18

So

A = 1000(1 + \frac{0.1}{1})^{1*18}

A = 5559.92

The certificate will be worth $5,559.92 on Ruth's 19th birthday.
