Answer:
x < - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to work out the area so
Area of a rectangle is l x b
So
A= l x b
A= 8 x 4
A= 32
Therefor 32 cubic feet of dirt is needed
A=g≈-32
v=⌠a dt since a≈-32
v=-32t+C, where C is the initial velocity, which we are told is 20 ft/s
v=-32t+20
h=⌠v dt
h=-32t^2/2+20t+C, where C is the initial height, so what is a reasonable initial height? How about 3 ft since we are swinging a bat around maybe our waist level... maybe :P
h=-16t^2+20t+3
Your choices may have made a different assumption about the initial height of course but you did not show your choices, but certainly it will be:
h(t)=-16t^2+20t+hi, where hi is the initial height in feet.
This of course ignores air resistance and flight dynamics of a spinning ball with seams, which will make a significant difference in real life :)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We want to simplify:

We convert to improper fraction to get:

We now deal with the parenthesis by multiplying with the reciprocal of 2.

This gives:

We multiply to get:

This simplfies to:

We write as mixed number
