A ball is thrown vertically upward from the top of a building 160 feet tall with an initial velocity of 48 feet per second. The

distance d (in feet) of the ball from the ground after t seconds is d(t) = 160 + 48t - 16t^2.
After how many seconds does the ball strike the ground? Please explain if you can!
When will the ball reach its maximum height? What is the maximum height of the ball? Please explain if you can!

Answer:

# after 5 seconds, the ball strikes the ground

# The ball reaches maximum height at t = 1.5 seconds

# The max height is 196 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is:

d(t)=-16t^2+48t+160

t is the time

d(t) is the distance traveled

Initial height is 160 feet and initial velocity is 48 ft/sec

If we want to find the time it takes the ball to hit the ground, we let d(t) equal to 0 and find t. Shown below:

-16t^2+48t+160=0\\t^2-3t-10=0\\(t-5)(t+2)=0\\t=5,-2

We disregard t = -2 since time can't be negative. We take t = 5

Thus, after 5 seconds, the ball strikes the ground.

The equation is a quadratic of the form: ax^2+bx+c

Matching equations, we can say:

a = -16

b = 48

c = 160

The time when ball reaches max height is given as:

t=-\frac{b}{2a}

Substituting, we find:

t=-\frac{b}{2a}\\t=-\frac{48}{2(-16)}\\t=1.5

The ball reaches maximum height at t = 1.5 seconds

The max height can be found by putting t = 1.5 into the original equation. Shown below:

d(t)=-16t^2+48t+160\\d(1.5)=-16(1.5)^2+48(1.5)+160\\=196

The max height is 196 feet

To find average, add up the values given and then divide that number by the amount of values that you added to make the larger number.
For example:
If he ran -8 yards first and -6 yards second and they are asking you to find the average, add -8 and -6. You get -14. If you then divide by 2 because you added 2 numbers together, you end up with -7.

Hope this helps!

HELPP!!

Answer:

h = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

Try to make the left hand side and the right hand side equal. By dividing like

h = (-27x+72)/(3x-8)

= [-9(3x-8)]/(3x-8)

= -9

When both sides are equal, you can't find the value of x as there are infinitely many solutions of x.
