Answer: $77

Step-by-step explanation: 77 is the correct answer because the price increased by 77 because 77 is the difference between the two, and how i got 77 was to subtract 140 ( the earlier price) from 217 ( the price that it changed to), i hope you found this helpful...

Patricia serves the volleyball to Amy with an upward velocity of 17.5ft/s. The ball is 5 feet above the ground when she strikes
Lena [83]

t = 1.33 sec

Solution:

Given data:

Velocity (v_0) = 17.5 ft/s

Height (h_0) = 5 ft

The height can be modeled by a quadratic equation

h(t)=-16t^2+v_0t+h_0

where h is the height and t is the time

h(t)=-16t^2+17.5t+5

-16t^2+17.5t+5=0

a = –16, b = 17.5, c = 5

It looks like a quadratic equation. we can solve it by quadratic formula,

$\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}

$\Rightarrow t=\frac{-17.5 \pm \sqrt{(-17.5)^{2}-4\times (-16)(5)}}{2 (-16)}

$\Rightarrow t= \frac{-17.5 \pm \sqrt{306.25+ 320}}{-32}

$\Rightarrow t= \frac{-17.5 \pm 25.025}{-32}

$\Rightarrow t= \frac{-17.5 - 25.025}{-32}, \ t= \frac{-17.5 + 25.025}{-32}

$\Rightarrow t= 1.33, \ t= -0.24

Time cannot be in negative. So neglect t = –0.235.

t = 1.33 sec

Hence Amy have to react  1.33 sec before the volleyball hits the ground.
