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.

Which possibly forms a triangle
svp [43]

Answer:

C. 17, 12, 7

Step-by-step explanation:

In a triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater then the length of the third side. If you can show any two segments, the sum of whose lengths is less than the length of the third segment, that cannot form a triangle.

In choices A, B, and D, there is at least one sum of the lengths of two segments that is less then the length of the third segment. That shows that choices A, B, and D cannot form triangles.

A. 8 + 7 = 15 < 16 No

B. 9 + 7 = 16 = 16 No

D. 11 + 5 = 16 < 17 No

C.

17 + 12 = 29 > 7

12 + 7 = 19 > 17

17 + 7 = 24 > 12

Yes

Please help with 10!
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

x=5

y=4

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides with the 2 bars are equal  so

7x-4 = 31

Add 4 to each side

7x-4+4 = 31+4

7x = 35

Divide each side by 7

7x/7 = 35/7

x =5


The sides with 3 bars are equal

4y+8 = 24

Subtract 8 from each side

4y+8-8 = 24-8

4y = 16

Divide by 4

4y/4 = 16/4

y =4
