The given function is

b(t) = 80t-16t^2+3.5

Rearranging it we get

b(t) = -16t^2+80t+3.5

Now when the ball hits the ground

Height b(t) becomes 0.

So we have

-16t^2+80t+3.5=0

Comparing with

ax^2+bx+c

We get

a=-16, b=80 & c = 3.5

Substituting in the quadratic formula we get

t=\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}  or  t=\frac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}t=\frac{-80+\sqrt{80^2-4(-16)(3.5)}}{2(-16)}  =-0.04

OR

t=\frac{-80-\sqrt{80^2-4(-16)(3.5)}}{2(-16)} =5.04

But the time cannot be negative

So t = 5.04 seconds

Rounding to the nearest second we get

t = 5 seconds

Find the value of x if a linear function goes through the following points and has the following slope: (x,2), (-4,6), m=3
Anastasy [175]

The slope is defined as

m=\dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\dfrac{6-2}{-4-x}

So, we have the follwing equation:

\dfrac{6-2}{-4-x} = 3 \iff 4 = 3(-4-x) \\\iff 4=-12-3x \iff16=-3x \iff x = -\dfrac{16}{3}
