Answer:
Im in college and don't rember this at all.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
It is a good idea to check to see if your answer is reasonable because a. if your answer is reasonable, you have probably done the problem correctly.
Answer:
At approximately x = 0.08 and x = 3.92.
Step-by-step explanation:
The height of the ball is modeled by the function:

Where f(x) is the height after x seconds.
We want to determine the time(s) when the ball is 10 feet in the air.
Therefore, we will set the function equal to 10 and solve for x:

Subtracting 10 from both sides:

For simplicity, divide both sides by -1:

We will use the quadratic formula. In this case a = 16, b = -64, and c = 5. Therefore:

Substitute:

Evaluate:

Simplify the square root:

Therefore:

Simplify:

Approximate:

Therefore, the ball will reach a height of 10 feet at approximately x = 0.08 and x = 3.92.
The Pythagorean theorem is with right triangles. You know that a right triangle is formed from first to the mound to home-plate. So when you draw it out and label the sides you have one missing side. the Pythagorean theorem is a^2 + b^2 = C^2. the c side is always the slanted side. In this case the c side would be from homeplate to first base. So you just have to solve now. (33)^2 + (50)^2 = c^2. So 1089 + 2500 = c^2. Add together and you get: 3589 = c^2. Lastly take the square-root of 3589 and that is the answer. 59.9. So the answer is 59.9 feet.
