because if you multiply 3 by 0 its the same thing as saying 0+0+0 and that is still 0 (hope this was helpful)

Why can one multiply by zero. Dividing by zero isn't allowed because it results in the same answer (infinity) for every input and therefore is considered "undefined." Multiplying by zero is allowed, even though it results in the same answer for every input (zero).

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

antoniya [11.8K]

The function is $h(t) = -16t^2 + 80t + 224$ , and according to the description of the function in the problem statement, we have the following:

at t=0 after being thrown (that is, at initial time), the height of the ball is calculated by h(0) as follows:

$h(0) = -16(0)^2 + 80(0) + 224=0+0+224=224$ (ft), which is the initial height, as expected.

At t=1 (sec), the height would be $h(1) = -16(1)^2 + 80(1) + 224=-16+80+224=288$ .

etc.

The path is parabolic, as we know by seeing that the function is a quadratic polynomial function. This function has been given in factored form as well. From that we can see that the zeros of the function are t=7 and t=-2.

This means that at t=7 sec, the height h is 0, which means that the ball has hit the ground. t=-2 has no significance in the context of our problem so we just neglect it.

Answer: B) 7 sec

Use a calculator to evaluate sec 85 degrees

faltersainse [42]

OK. I used my calculator to evaluate sec(85 degrees).

My calculator doesn't have a "sec" button on it.
But I remembered that

sec of an angle = 1 / (cosine of the same angle) .

So I used my calculator to find cos(85), and then I hit the
" 1/x " key, and got 11.474, which I knew to be sec(85).
