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

Which expression results from using the distributive property 2(5 + r)
Vinvika [58]
Using the distributive property we know we distribute by multiplying the outside values to those inside of the parentheses

outside values: 2

inside values: 5 and r

now multiply out inside values by the outside values

2x5 = 10

2xr = 2r

now plug these values back in for the inside values and take away the outside value and the parentheses

so 2(5+r) using the distribution property is 10+2r
