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!

Solve for r. Show your work!<br> 12 =R– (34 – 2)<br><br> Helpppp!!
amm1812

Answer:

r = 44

Step-by-step explanation:

12 = r - (34 - 2)

Solve for r

___________

To solve, we need to isolate r.

Distribute the negative sign with the numbers within the parenthesis :

12 = r - 34 + 2

Add like terms :

12 = r - 32

Add 32 to both sides :

44 = r

r = 44
