Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday
10 20 40 80 160 320 640
1280 2560 5120 10240 20480 40960 81920
81920/5280 = 15.51515151, rounded to the nearest tenth of a mile, 15.5 miles
Question b asks for how many miles in total has he ran. That means we have to add each of the values shown above and that equals to 163830 feet.
Divide that by 5280 and that equals 31.02 miles, rounded to the nearest tenth, 31 miles.
Answer:
y=4x-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Question:
A fastball is hit straight up over home plate. The ball's height, h (in feet), from the ground is modeled by h(t)=-16t^2+80t+5, where t is measured in seconds. Write an equation to determine how long it will take for the ball to reach the ground.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given

Required
Find t when the ball hits the ground
This implies that h(t) = 0
So, we have:

Reorder

Using quadratic formula, we have:

Where

So, we have:




This gives:
or 
or 
or 
But time can not be negative.
So, we have:


<em>Hence, time to hit the ground is 5.0625 seconds</em>
