Given:

The distance s​ (in feet) of the ball from the ground after t seconds is

s=64t-16t^2

To find:

(a) At what time t will the ball strike the​ ground?

(b) For what time t is the ball more than 48 feet above the​ ground?

Solution:

(a)

We have,

s=64t-16t^2

Substitute s=0, to find the time t when the ball strike the​ ground.

0=64t-16t^2

0=16t(4-t)

Using zero product property, we get

16t=0\Rightarrow t=0

4-t=0\Rightarrow t=4

Therefore, the ball strike the​ ground in initial condition (t = 0) and after 4 seconds (t = 4).

(b)

Now, s > 48, to find the time t when the ball will be more than 48 feet above the​ ground.

64t-16t^2\geq 48

0> 16t^2-64t+48

Divide both sides by 16.

0> t^2-4t+3

0> t^2-t-3t+3

0> t(t-1)-3(t-1)

0>(t-1)(t-3)

Related equation is (t-1)(t-3)=0. Zeroes are t=1,3. These two number divide the number line is three parts. (-∞,1),(1,3),(3,∞)

0>(t-1)(t-3) inequality is true for only (1,3).

It is only possible when t lies in the interval (1,3).

Therefore, the ball will be more than 48 feet above the​ ground between 1 and 3 seconds.

A triangle has a base of 7 1/8 feet and height 7 1/5 ft. what is the area as a mixed number
sleet_krkn [62]

The answer is 25 13/20 square feet.

In order to complete this operation, it is first best to change your mixed numbers into improper fractions.

7 1/8 = 57/8

7 1/5 = 36/5

Now that we have these, we can put them into the triangle formula.

A = 1/2bh

A = (1/2)(57/8)(36/5)

A = 1026/40

You can then simplify this fraction by dividing the top and bottom by a factor of 2.

A = 513/20

Then, because we know 20 goes into 500, 25 times, we can pull that out and be left with a remainder of 13/20.

A = 25 13/20
