Suppose Devin and Leslie throw a baseball into the air. The height of Devin's baseball is given by h(t)=−16t2+79t+5, where h is

in feet and t is in seconds. The height of Leslie's baseball is given by the graph below: Devin claims that his baseball went higher than Leslie's, and Leslie says that her baseball went higher. (a) Who is right? (b) How long is each baseball airborne?

You didn't include the graph of Leslis's basball. So you will have to make the final comparison.

To find the maximum height of Devin's baseball you use your knweledge of quadratic functions.

h(t) = - 16t^2 + 79t + 5.

The maximum height is at the vertex of the parabole.

The vertex is at a t-coordinate in the mid value of the roots of the equation.

To find the roots you can either factor the function of use the quadratic equation.

The quadratic equation is [-b +/+ √(b^2 - 4ac)]/2a

where a = -16, b = 79 and c = 5.

The result is t = -1/16 and t = 5

The mid value is t= [-1/16 + 5]/2 = 79/32 ≈ 2.47

And the correspondig height is h(79/32) = -16[79/32]^2 + 79[79/32]+5 ≈ 102.5

Now compare 102.5 with the highest value on the graph and there you have who is right.

The time that Devin's baseball was in the air corresponds to the time of the second root (when the ball comesback to h(t) = 0). That is t = 5 seconds.

The formula for the volume of a quarter-sphere is simply one-fourth of the volume of the sphere. So the volume of a quarter-sphere:
V = (1/4) (4/3) (π r³)
or
V = (1/3) (π r³)

Since we are given with the radius of 70 feet, the volume is
V = (1/3) (π) (70³)
V = 359,189 cubic feet

Andru [333]
Greatest common factor (GCF) of 42 and 63 is 21. We will now calculate the prime factors of 42 and 63, than find the greatest common factor (greatest common divisor (gcd)) of the numbers by matching the biggest common factor of 42 and 63.
