A soccer player heads a ball from a height of 6 feet with an initial vertical velocity of 20 feet per second. The height h in fe

et of the ball is given by h=-16^2+20t+6 where t is the time elapsed in seconds. How long will it take the ball to hit the ground if no other players touch it?

WE see that at time t=0 the ball's height is 6 feet so we know the origin of our coordinates is the ground (h=0 feet)  So we need to solve this quadratic equation for the value of t that makes the equation 0.   There will be 2 solutions, one will be right and the other is usually impossible (all quadratics have two roots)
Using the quadratic formula (google it if you're unfamiliar, Brainly's math editor doesn't show things like that too nicely) I get t = 1.5s.  (the other root is -0.25)

Doug read 231 pages in 7 hours.he read the same number of pages each hour.how many pages did he read in 1 hour
tino4ka555 [31]

If we let p be the number of pages read in 1 hour, then in 7 hours Doug reads 7p pages. We know that this number of pages is 231, so we have

7p=231 \iff p = \dfrac{231}{7} = 33

An investor invests $2,500 into a mutual fund and earns 5.75% on the principle for each of three years. How much interest has ac
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

Interest in 3 years = $456.52

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know the the formula of compound interest

Total amount =  A(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}

Here n = number of times amount is compounded

r = rate of interest

t = period

Here A = $2500

r = 0.0575

n = 1 (compounded annually)

t = 3 years

Therefore amount after 3 years

P=2500(1+\frac{.0575}{1})^{3}

P =2500(1.0575)³

  = 2500×1.18

  = $2956.52

We have to calculate the interest then

Interest = $2956.52-$2500 = $456.52

So after 3 years interest gained = $456.52
