Sofia hits a softball straight up. the equation h= -16t^2 + 90t models the height h, in feet, of the ball after t seconds. How l

andrezito [222]

It is in the air 5.625 seconds.

Using the quadratic formula,

$t=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}
\\
\\=\frac{-90\pm \sqrt{90^2-4(-16)(0)}}{2(-16)}
\\
\\=\frac{-90\pm \sqrt{8100-0}}{-32}
\\
\\=\frac{-90\pm \sqrt{8100}}{-32}=\frac{-90\pm90}{-32}
\\
\\=\frac{-90+90}{-32}\text{ or }\frac{-90-90}{-32}=\frac{0}{32}\text{ or }\frac{-180}{-32}
\\
\\=0\text{ or }5.625$

0 is when the ball is first launched, 5.625 is when it hits the ground again.

If Benito earns $187.50 for 12.5 hours of work, how many hours must he work to earn $465.00?

EastWind [94]

divide 187.50 by 12.5 to find hourly rate

187.50/12.50 = 15 dollars per hour

now divide 465 by 15 for number of hours

465/15 = 31 hours

double check by multiplying 31 by 15 ( 31 x 15 = 465)
