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

Find the volume of the figure below.
kiruha [24]

Hello!

To find the volume of a cylinder, use the formula: V = πr²h.

In the formula, r is the radius, and h is height of the figure.

In the given figure, the height of the cylinder is 8 feet and the radius is 5 feet. With those values, we can find the volume of the given figure.

V = π(5)²(8)

V = π(25)(8)

V = 200π, 628.32 (multiplied by π), 628 (multiplied by 3.14)

Therefore, the volume of this cylinder is 628.32 feet cubed.

Answer:

10 coconut cupcakes

Step-by-step explanation: so, here is what we do since there is 8 cupcakes sold and 4 of them are coconut cupcakes we divide. this is hard to explain but we know that 8 divided by 4 is 2 so we have to multiply to 20 so like 2 times 10 which gives us 20. then we use the answer that we got from multiplying which is 10 as our answer if that makes sense.
