Answer: it will take 8.25 seconds to reach maximum height

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial velocity, u of baseball = 132 feet per second. The height of the baseball, h in feet after t seconds is given by the function h = −16t^2 + 132t + 4

The given function is a quadratic equation. If values of height attained is plotted against time, the graph will take the shape of a parabola whose vertex corresponds to the maximum height attained by the baseball

Vertex of the parabola = -b/2a

a = - 16

b = 132

Vertex = - 132/-16× 2 = -132/32

Vertex = 4.125

The maximum height is 4.125 feets

To determine the time it will take to reach the maximum height of 4.125 feets, we will substitute h = 4.125 in the equation

4.125 = −16t^2 + 132t + 4

−16t^2 + 132t - 0.125 = 0

Applying the general formula for quadratic equations,

t = [- b ± √b^2 - (4ac)]/2a

a = -16

b = 132

c = -0.125

t = [- 132 ± √132^2 - 4(-16 × - 0.125)]/2× -16

t = [- 132 ± √17424 - 8)]/-32

t = [- 132 ± √17416]/-32

t = (-132 ± 132)/-32

t = (-132 + 132)/-32 or (-132 -132)/-32

t = 0 or -264/-32

t = 8.25 seconds

Please help i need help on question b
anzhelika [568]

There are 12 possible outcomes.....three of these will be a "7"  ...so...

A "7" should occur  1/4 of the time

If each player pays 20p to play.....the school  will take in  120 * 20  = 2400p

However.......1/4 of the players should win =  30 players.....and each lollipop costs 30p.....so......the school should spend 30 * 30  = 900p for the prizes

So......the school should raise   2400 - 900 = 1500p  if 120 people play the game
