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:

t = 5.0625

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

h(t)=-16t^2+80t+5

Required

Find t when the ball hits the ground

This implies that h(t) = 0

So, we have:

0=-16t^2+80t+5

Reorder

-16t^2+80t+5 = 0

Using quadratic formula, we have:

t = \frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

Where

a = -16      b =80      c = 5

So, we have:

t = \frac{-80\±\sqrt{80^2 - 4*-16*5}}{2*-16}

t = \frac{-80\±\sqrt{6400 +320}}{-32}

t = \frac{-80\±\sqrt{6720}}{-32}

t = \frac{-80\±82.0}{-32}

This gives:

t = \frac{-80+82.0}{-32} or t = \frac{-80-82.0}{-32}

t = \frac{2}{-32} or t = \frac{-162}{-32}

t = -\frac{2}{32} or t = \frac{162}{32}

But time can not be negative.

So, we have:

t = \frac{162}{32}

t = 5.0625

<em>Hence, time to hit the ground is 5.0625 seconds</em>

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Students collected

  • 85+255=340 pounds of paper;
  • 18+90=108 pounds of cans;
  • 340+108=448 pounds of paper and cans combined in September and October.

Step-by-step explanation:

In September, the students collected 85 pounds of paper and 18 pounds of cans to recycle.

In October, their goal is to collect three times the amount of paper and five times the amount of cans they collected in September.

Hence, in October they collected

  • 85\times 3=255 pounds of paper;
  • 18\times 5=90 pounds of cans.

In total, they collected

  • 85+255=340 pounds of paper;
  • 18+90=108 pounds of cans;
  • 340+108=448 pounds of paper and cans combined in September and October.
