"how long..." is asking for time (t).  "The amount of time spent in the air" is the time from when the ball was kicked (0 seconds) to the time it landed on the ground.  Need to find the x-intercepts (one will be negative which will be invalid). You can do this by factoring ... <em>or by using the quadratic formula.</em> With the equation you provided, it is not factorable, so you must use the quadratic formula.

h = -16t² + 60t + 3

   a=-16   b=60  c=3

t = \frac{-b +/- \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}

t = \frac{-60 +/- \sqrt{60^{2}-4(-16)(3) } }{2(-16)}

t = \frac{-60 +/- \sqrt{3600 + 192} }{-32}

t = \frac{-60 +/- \sqrt{3792} }{-32}

t = \frac{-60 +/- 61.6}{-32}

t = \frac{-60 + 61.6}{-32}   or   t = \frac{-60 - 61.6}{-32}

t = \frac{1.6}{-32}        or     t = \frac{-121.6}{-32}

   t = -0.05            or     t = 3.8           <em>disregard the negative</em>

Answer: 3.8 seconds

Answer: the area of the triangle is 23.4 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The given triangle is not a right angle triangle. Since two sides and one angle are known, we can either apply the Heron's formula or the Sine formula which is expressed as

Area of triangle = 1/2abSinC

Where a and b are the sides of the triangle and C is the given angle. Therefore,

Area = 1/2 × 8.2 × 6.4 × Sin63

Area = 1/2 × 8.2 × 6.4 × 0.8910

Area = 23.4 cm² to the nearest tenth.

ecn 221 The sodium content of a popular sports drink is listed as 206 mg in a 32-oz bottle. Analysis of 14 bottles indicates a s
spayn [35]

Answer:

H_{0}: \mu = 206\text{ mg}\\H_A: \mu \neq 206\text{ mg}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ =  206 mg

Sample mean, \bar{x} = 217.5 mg

Sample size, n = 14

Sample standard deviation, s = 14.9 mg

Claim:

The mean sodium content for the sports drink is not 206 mg. It is different than 206 mg.

Thus, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

H_{0}: \mu = 206\text{ mg}\\H_A: \mu \neq 206\text{ mg}

We use two-tailed t test to perform this hypothesis.
