Suppose h(t)= -0.2t^2+2t models the height, in feet, of a ball that is kicked into the air where t is given as time in seconds.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Height:  h(t)= -0.2t^2+2t  =  2t(-0.1t + 1)

-0.2t^2+2t  is  a quadratic expression with a = -0.2 and b = 2.

The ball reaches its max height at t = -b/(2a).

Here, t = -2 / (2·[-0.2] ), or  t = 2/0.4 = 5 (sec)

The ball reaches its max height at at 5 sec.

The max ht. of the ball is h(5) = -0.2(5 sec)^2 + 2(5 sec) = (-5 + 10) sec, or 5 ft.

To determine after how many sec the ball reaches the ground, we set h(t) = 0 and solve for t:  

h(t)= -0.2t^2+2t = 0 = 2t(-0.1t + 1).  Thus, t = 0 sec or t = 10 sec

The ball reaches the ground again after 10 sec.

I've been having problems with this for a while...
Rina8888 [55]
Like all problems that involve images within the question, we should definitely try to draw this out. In the picture above, I have done this.

Now, we can see that this is just a simple proportion problem. For every 2.5 cm of height of the flower, we are 2 cm from the opening, or aperture. For every 20 cm of height, how far are we? We can set up the problem like this:

20 ............2.5
-------- = ---------
...x ............. 2

where x is the unknown distance to the aperture from the flower. Now, we just need to get x by itself. A typical way of solving something like this is by doing "butterfly multiplication" which is really just a shortcut haha. Anyway, I can rewrite that equation ^ as:

20×2 = 2.5 × x

Then, to solve for x, we would divide both sides by 2.5. (If you don't know why that is, please let me know and I'll elaborate).

We would then have:

20×2
------- = x
2.5

Which then simplifies to:

x = 16

Try using the same logic for your second question, and if you get stuck, I'd be happy to help! please let me know if any of this doesn't make sense. :)

Use the distributive property to find the product.
Lesechka [4]
Use the Foil Method:

First: t x t =t^2
Outsides: t x 8 = 8t
Insides: -1 x t = - t
Lasts: 8 x -1 = -8

so you'll have t^2 + 8t - t - 8, simplify it more: t^2 + 7t - 8, A.
