If a baseball player hits a baseball from 4 feet off the ground with an initial velocity of 64 feet per second, how long will it

take the baseball to hit the ground? Use the equation h = −16t2 + 64t + 4. 2 plus or minus square root of 17 end root over 2 quantity of 2 plus or minus square root of 17 all over 2 2 plus or minus 4 square root of 17 quantity of 16 plus or minus square root of 17 all over 2

This is the concept of trajectories;
We are required to calculate the time taken for the base ball whose distant to reach the maximum height has been modeled by h=-16t^2+64t+4.2 took to hit the ground. Here we proceed as follows;
At the time when the base ball hits the ground the height,h=0
Thus;
-16t^2+64t+4.2=0
this is a quadratic equation, to solve the quadratic equation we use the formula;
t=[-b+/- sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/(2a)
where;
a=-16,b=64, c=4.2
thus substituting the values in our formula we get:
t=[-64+/-sqrt(64^2-4*(-16)*4.2)]/(-16*2)
t=[-64+/- sqrt(4364.8)]/(-32)
t=[-64+/-66.1]/(-32)
t=4.1 or-0.1
thus the we take the positive value t=4.1 and we conclude that the time taken for the ball to hit the ground was 4.1 seconds

devlian [24]

Answer:

50.40% probability that all 4 are different.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Desired outcomes:

4 digits, all different

For the first digit, it can be any of them, so there are 10 possible

For the second digit, it can be any of them other than the first digit. So there are 9 possible.

For the third digit, it can be any of them, other than the first and the second. So there are 8 possible.

By the same logic, 7 possible digits for the fourth. So

D = 10*9*8*7 = 5040

Total outcomes:

4 digits, each can be any of them(10 from 0 - 9).

So

T = 10*10*10*10 = 10000

Probability:

p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{5040}{10000} = 0.5040

50.40% probability that all 4 are different.

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer: 7.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Do the parentheses first!

4-7= -3

Then, multiply -3 by 2

-3×2= -6

Next,

-6-6.7= -12.7

Then, add -12.7 to 20

-12.7+20=7.3

Your answer is 7.3
