Answer:

  2.47 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The height is zero when the ball hits the ground, so time can be found by solving the quadratic ...

  -5t^2 -3t +38 = 0

for t in any of the usual ways. A graphing calculator gives a solution quickly. The quadratic formula can give you the "exact" solution.

For that formula, we have a=-5, b-3, c=38, so the solution looks like ...

  t = (-b ±√(b^2-4ac))/(2a)

  t = (-(-3) ±√((-3)^2 -4(-5)(38)))/(2(-5))

  = (3 ±√769)/(-10)

We're only interested in the positive solution, so ...

  t = -0.3 +√7.69 ≈ 2.473085

The ball hits the ground about 2.47 seconds after it is thrown.

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The ball will hit the ground after t=2.47s

<h2>Why?</h2>

Since we are given a quadratic function, we can calculate the roots (zeroes) using the quadratic formula.  We must take into consideration that we are talking about time, it means that we should only consider positive values.

So,

\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac} }{2a}

We are given the function:

h=-5t^{2}-3t+38

Where,

a=-5\\b=-3\\c=38

Then, substituting it into the quadratic equation, we have:

\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac} }{2a}=\frac{-(-3)+-\sqrt{(-3)^{2} -4*-5*38} }{2*-5}\\\\\frac{-(-3)+-\sqrt{(-3)^{2} -4*-5*38} }{2*-5}=\frac{3+-\sqrt{9+760} }{-10}\\\\\frac{3+-\sqrt{9+760} }{-10}=\frac{3+-\sqrt{769} }{-10}=\frac{3+-27.731}{-10}\\\\t1=\frac{3+27.731}{-10}=-3.073s\\\\t2=\frac{3-27.731}{-10}=2.473s

Since negative time does not exists, the ball will hit the ground after:

t=2.473s=2.47s

Have a nice day!

21. If the area of the plane shape below is<br>36cm, find its height.​
mariarad [96]

Answer:

4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure is a parallelogram with area (A) calculated as

A = bh ( b is the base and h the perpendicular height )

Here A = 36 and b = 9 , thus

9h = 36 ( divide both sides by 9 )

h = 4 cm

savannah is painting a striped background for a mural on a wall that is 15 yards long. she wants a total of 96 stripes that’s ar
adell [148]
In this item, we are tasked to determine the calculation that can be done in order to determine the length or width of the painted mural in each striped area. This can be done by dividing the total length by the number of stripes as shown in the equation below.

   Length per stripe = Total length / number of stripes
    Length per stripe = 15 yards / 96 stripes
                           = 0.15625 yard/stripe
