A ball is thrown from an initial height of 3 feet with an initial upward velocity of 21 ft/s. The ball height h (in feet) after
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The position equation is given as
and we are looking for the times when the position of the ball is 9 feet. That means that we simply plug in a 9 for s(t) and factor to solve for t:
and
and this is what we factor to find t:
t = .42 sec and then again on its way back down at t = .89 sec

Step-by-step explanation:
a) Let derive the function:
is undefined when denominator equates to zero. The critical point is:
b) when numerator equates to zero. That is:
This equation shows two critical points:
,
c) The critical points found in point b) and the existence of a discontinuity in point a) lead to the conclusion of the existence local minima and maxima. By plotting the function, it is evident that corresponds to a local maximum. (See Attachment)
d) By plotting the function, it is evident that corresponds to a local minimum. (See Attachment)
