in order to answer, we need to know what is the equation?
Answer:
A. {-4, -3, 7, 8}
Step-by-step explanation:
The ordered pairs representing a function are always written ...
(input, output)
<h3>Inputs</h3>
The set of inputs for the given function is the list of first-numbers of the ordered pairs. Those numbers are -3, -4, 8, 7. When we express them as a set, we like to have the elements of the set in increasing order:
inputs = {-4, -3, 7, 8} . . . . . . matches the first choice
The equation gives the height of the ball. That is, h is the height of the ball. t is the time. Since we are looking for the time at which the height is 8 (h=8), we need to set the equation equal to 8 and solve for t. We do this as follows:




This is a quadratic equation and as it is set equal to 0 we can solve it using the quadratic formula. That formula is:

You might recall seeing this as "x=..." but since our equation is in terms of t we use "t-=..."
In order to use the formula we need to identify a, b and c.
a = the coefficient (number in front of)

= 16.
b = the coefficient of t = -60
c = the constant (the number that is by itself) = 7
Substituting these into the quadratic formula gives us:



As we have "plus minus" (this is usually written in symbols with a plus sign over a minus sign) we split the equation in two and obtain:

and

So the height is 8 feet at t = 3.63 and t=.12
It should make sense that there are two times. The ball goes up, reaches it's highest height and then comes back down. As such the height will be 8 at some point on the way up and also at some point on the way down.
We use the following trigonometric identity to answer the question:
sin^ 2 (theta) + cos^ 2 (theta) = 1
We substitute the values:
sin ^ 2 (theta) + 0.73 = 1
We cleared:
sin ^ 2 (theta) = 1-0.73
sin ^ 2 (theta) = 0.27
Answer:
a possible value of sin ^ 2 (theta) is:
c.0.26 (nearest option)
