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.

coldgirl [10]
It`s either 100,000 because there is only four 0`s making it 70,000 or it`s 700,000 and you made a mistake of not typing that last zero in which case the question would be pointless to ask because the answer is in the question.

Which functions are symmetric with respect to the y axis<br>​
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

A, B, and D

Step-by-step explanation:

Only the functions that have x by itself between the absolute value signs (A, B, and D) are symmetric with respect to the y-axis .

Placing a constant outside the absolute value signs moves the function up or down the y-axis but retains the symmetry.

Adding a constant inside the absolute value signs (as in C and E) moves the axis of symmetry to the left or right of the y-axis.

In the diagram, both A and B are symmetric with respect to the y-axis, but C has been shifted three units to the left.
