Answer:
part 1) 0.78 seconds
part 2) 1.74 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
At about what time did the ball reach the maximum?
Let
h ----> the height of a ball in feet
t ---> the time in seconds
we have

This is a vertical parabola open downward (the leading coefficient is negative)
The vertex represent a maximum
so
The x-coordinate of the vertex represent the time when the ball reach the maximum
Find the vertex
Convert the equation in vertex form
Factor -16

Complete the square


Rewrite as perfect squares

The vertex is the point 
therefore
The time when the ball reach the maximum is 25/32 sec or 0.78 sec
step 2
At about what time did the ball reach the minimum?
we know that
The ball reach the minimum when the the ball reach the ground (h=0)
For h=0



square root both sides


the positive value is

Given the radius, circumference can be solved by the equation, C = 2πr. The circumference of the circle above is C = 2π(8 in) = 16<span>π in. To solve for the length of the segment joining the arc is the circumference times the ratio of central angle and 360 degrees.
Length of the segment = (16</span>π in)(60/360) = 8/3 <span>π in
Thus, the length of the segment is approximately 8.36 in. </span>
Answer:
d = 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
5/6 = 1/3 + d
~Find common denominators
5/6 = 2/6 + d
~Subtract 2/6 to both sides
3/6 = d
~Simplify
1/2 = d
Best of Luck!
