A ball is dropped off an office building that is 790 feet tall. Apply the function h(t)=-16t^2, where h(t) is the height of the

ball at the time t, and c is its initial height. Approximately how long did it take the ball to hit the ground

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This models the parabolic function

h(t)=-16t^2+v_{i}t+h_{i},

where h(t) is the height after the motion occurs, v_{i} is the initial upwards velocity, and h_{i} is the initial height from which the object was launched or dropped.  Because we do not have any upwards velocity when an object is dropped straight down, it is only affected by gravity.  Our function for this situation is

h(t)=-16t^2+790

To find when the object hits the ground, replace the h(t) with a 0, since the height of something when it hits the ground has no height at all.  Factor the quadratic for t, time.

0=-16t^2+790 and

0=-16(t^2-49.375)

By the Zero Product Property, either

-16 = 0 or t^2-49.375=0

Since -16 definitely does not equal 0, then

t^2-49.375=0 and

t^2=49.375

Taking the square root of both sides and only allowing for the principle (positive) root since time will never be negative, then

t=\sqrt{49.375} and

t = 7.03 seconds

How do you find the squared foot of an octagon?
Westkost [7]

Answer:

The four pieces cut off can be arranged into two squares with sides of length b feet and hence the area of the octagon is w 2 - 2 b 2 square feet. Since w = 12 feet, all that is needed is to find b. square feet which is approximately 119 square feet.

Eleven members of the Middle School Math Club each paid the same amount for a guest speaker to talk about problem solving at the
tiny-mole [99]
The missing digit is number 3. The total amount should be $132

I multiplied 11 by the numbers 10 and above to get the possible three digit answer who has 1 as the first digit and 2 as the last digit.

11 x 10 = 110
11 x 11 = 121
11 x 12 = 132

The 11 members of the Middle School Math club each paid $12 for a guest speaker.
