Answer:

  2.86 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

We presume the height is measured above the ground, so the height when the ball hits the ground is 0 feet. Putting that into the equation and solving for t, we get ...

  0 = 157 -9t -16t^2

We can use the quadratic formula with a=-16, b=-9, c=157 to find the solution.

  t = (-b -√(b^2 -4ac))/(2a) . . . . . we are not interested in the negative solution

  t = (-(-9) -√((-9)^2 -4(-16)(157)))/(2(-16))

  t = (9 -√10129)/-32 = (9 -100.6429)/-32 ≈ 2.86384

The ball will hit the ground about 2.86 seconds after it is thrown.

Answer:

X=53

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Regular fare R= $275

Discount fare of $125

Mean \=x =50

Standard deviation \sigma= 26.

Generally, the equation for Critical Fraction is mathematically given by

C=\frac{Pf-Pd}{Pf}

C=\frac{275-125}{275}

C=0.5

From Z Distribution Table

Z=0.1131

Therefore

Reservation  made is give as for High fare travellers is

X = \=x+(z* \sigma)

X = 50 + (0.1131 * 26)

X=53
