A baseball is thrown into the air from the top of a 224-foot tall building. The baseball's approximate height over time can be r

epresented by the quadratic equation h(t) = -16t2 + 80t + 224, where t represents the time in seconds that the baseball has been in the air and h(t) represents the baseball's height in feet. When factored, this equation is h(t) = -16(t - 7)(t + 2).
What is a reasonable time for it to take the baseball to land on the ground?

-2 seconds

-9 seconds

-5 seconds

-7 seconds

H(t) = 0 for t = 7 and for t = -2.

It is reasonable for the time to be positive, 7 seconds.

(The offered answers all appear to be negative, so none are reasonable.)

Answer:

7 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

A baseball is thrown into the air from the top of a 224-foot tall building.

The baseball's approximate height over time can be represented by the quadratic equation h(t) = -16t^2 + 80t + 224

To Find:  What is a reasonable time for it to take the baseball to land on the ground?

Solution:

Equation : h(t) = -16t^2 + 80t + 224

When factored this equation : h(t) = -16(t - 7)(t + 2)  --A

Now we are supposed to find  reasonable time for it to take the baseball to land on the ground i.e. h =0

So, substitute h = 0 in A

0= -16(t - 7)(t + 2)

t=7,-2

Since time cannot be negative

So, neglect -2

Thus it will taker 7 seconds for baseball to reach the ground.

Find an angle in each quadrant with a common reference angle with 77°, from 0°≤θ<360°
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Q1: 77°, Q2: 103°, Q3: 257°, Q4: 283°

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: Q1 = Quadrant 1

Q1: 77°

Q2: 180° - 77° = 103°

Q3: 180° + 77° = 257°

Q4: 360° - 77° = 283°

The University of Montana ski team has thirteen entrants in a men's downhill ski event. The coach would like the first, second,
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

1716 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Number of entrants = 13

The number of ways of attaining first, second and third position :

The number of ways of attaining first ; only 1 person can be first ;

Using permutation :

nPr = n! ÷(n-r)!

13P1 = 13! ÷ 12! = 13

Second position :

We have 12 entrants left :

nPr = n! ÷(n-r)!

12P1 = 12! ÷ 11! = 12

Third position :

We have 11 entrants left :

nPr = n! ÷(n-r)!

11P1 = 11! ÷ 10! = 11

Hence, Number of ways = (13 * 12 * 11) = 1716 ways
