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>
Answer:
and
Step-by-step explanation:
We must solve the quadratic equation to find the values of x that satisfy equality
Subtract 24 on both sides of equality
Now we factor the quadratic equation
Identify two numbers that when you add them you get as a result 2 and when you multiply them you get as a result -24
The numbers sought are: 6 and -4
So the factors are:
Finally note that the solutions are:
and
