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

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(2^{3})^{3} = 2^{3*3}=2^{9}\\\\\\(\dfrac{4^{2}}{5^{3}})^{3} = \dfrac{(4^{2})^{3}}{(5^{3})^{3}}=\dfrac{4^{6}}{5^{9}}\\\\\dfrac{3^{6}}{3^{3}}=3^{6-3}=3^{3}\\\\\\a^{m}*a^{n}=a^{m+n}\\\\(a^{m})^{n}=a^{m*n}\\\\\dfrac{a^{m}}{a^{n}}=a^{m-n}

Which function has zeros -4 and 2
zvonat [6]
A function with zeroes at z1 and z2 can be factored into form
f(x)=a(x-z1)(x-z2)
where a is a constant

so
it is
f(x)=a(x-(-4))(x-2) or
f(x)=a(x+4)(x-2)

Two coins are flipped. You win $3 if either two heads or two tails turn up; you lose $4 if a head and a rail turn up. What is th
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It's too bad about this problem. It's a fair game if you get paid the same amount that you have to pay if you lose.

You win 2 ways

  • H - H
  • T - T
  • Probability 1/2

You lose 2 ways.

  • H - T
  • T - H
  • Probability 1/2

Expectation

E = 1/2 * 3 - 1/2 * 4

E = 1.5 - 2

E = -0.5

Which means that you should expect to lose 0.5 dollars every time you play this dreadful game.
