Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Our function, in terms of the gravitational pull in the metric system, will be

s(t)=-4.9t^2+12t+2

where the leading coefficient represents the acceleration due to gravity (if you do not know calculus, just take me at my word on this!), 12 is the initial vertical velocity, and 2 is the initial height of the baseball.  Being asked the question, "How long will it take for the ball to hit the ground?" is the exact same as being asked, "How long was the ball in the air?"  Be aware of the wording!!

s(t) represents the height of the ball at a certain time during its flight.  If the ball hits the ground, we know that the height of something ON the ground is 0, so sub in 0 for s(t) and factor to solve for t.

If you throw this into the quadratic formula, you get that

t = -.2 seconds and t = 2.6 seconds.

Since time will NEVER be negative, we know that it takes the ball 2.6 seconds to hit the ground.  It was also, then, in the air for 2.6 seconds.

Answer:

2.6 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

g = 10

s = 2

u = -12

t = ?

2 = -12t + 5t²

5t² - 12t - 2 = 0

t = [12 +/- sqrt(12² - 4(5)(-2)]/2(5)

t = (12 +/- sqrt(184))/10

t = 2.55646599663

What is the area of ΔABC? Round to the nearest tenth of a square unit.
kramer
<span><u><em>Answer:</em></u>
8.4 square units

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
<u>The area of the triangle can be calculated using two sides and an included angle as follows:</u>
area = 0.5 * 1st side * 2nd side * sin(angle included between them)
............> This is shown in the attached image

<u>In the given triangle, we have:</u>
the two sides 2*</span>√2<span> and 6 units
the angle included between them is 80</span>°<span>

Therefore, we can apply the above rule to get the area as follows:
area = 0.5 * 2</span>√2 <span>*6* sin(80</span>°<span>)
area = 8.35 which is approximately 8.4 square units

Hope this helps :)</span>
