Answer:
Hence, option: B is correct (11.02 seconds)
Step-by-step explanation:
Spencer hits a tennis ball past his opponent. The height of the tennis ball, in feet, is modeled by the equation h(t) = –0.075t2 + 0.6t + 2.5, where t is the time since the tennis ball was hit, measured in seconds.
Now we are asked:
How long does it take for the ball to reach the ground?
i.e. we have to find the value of t such that height is zero i.e. h(t)=0.
or
i.e. we need to find the roots of the above quadratic equation.
on solving the equation we get two roots as:
t≈ -3.02377 and t≈11.0238
As time can't be negative; hence we will consider the value of t as t≈11.0238.
Hence it takes 11.02 seconds for the ball to reach the ground.
Hence option B is correct (11.02 seconds).
