Answer:

\large \boxed{\sf \ \text{2 feet, 4 seconds, 258 feet } \ }

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

To know the height of the baseball when it is hit we have to compute h(0), as t = 0 is when the baseball is hit into the air.

h(0)=-16\cdot 0^2+128 \cdot 0+2=2

So, the answer is <u>2 feet.</u>

<u />

h(x) is a parabola which can be written as ax^2+bx+c, it means that the vertex is the point (-b/2a,h(-b/2a)).

The baseball reached its maximum height after

   \dfrac{-b}{2a}=\dfrac{-128}{-2*16}=\boxed{4 \text{  seconds}}

And the maximum height of the baseball is h(4).

h(0)=-16\cdot 4^2+128 \cdot 4+2=-256+512+2=\boxed{258 \ \text{feet}}

Hope this helps.

Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.

Thank you

Answer:

<h2>x = -8 or x = 2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\qquad(*)\\\\-------------------------------\\\\x^2+6x-16=0\qquad\text{add 16 to both sides}\\\\x^2+6x=16\\\\x^2+2(x)(3)=16\qquad\text{add}\ 3^2\ \text{to both sides}\\\\\underbrace{x^2+2(x)(3)+3^2}_{(*)}=16+3^2\\\\(x+3)^2=16+9\\\\(x+3)^2=25\Rightarrow x+3=\pm\sqrt{25}\\\\x+3=-5\ \vee\ x+3=5\qquad\text{subtract 3 from both sides}\\\\\boxed{x=-8\ \vee\ x=2}

Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

To set up for this answer, we need to set it up as an equation: 2x+12=5x-9.

get the xs on one side and the whole numbers on the other.

that leaves you with 21=3x.

divide by 3 on both sides to get the answer of x=7
