Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that
Initial velocity=30 ft/s
Initial position=
We have to write a mathematical model for height of the softball by using the position equation
The position equation on Earth's surface is given by

Where
Initial velocity
=Initial position
Substitute the values in the equation then, we get

Hence, the mathematical model for height of the softball is given by

4(p - 7) = 44
First distribute the 4 over the parentheses
4p - 28 = 44
Add 28 to both sides:-
4p = 44 + 28
4p = 72
Divide both sides by 4:-
p = 72/4
p = 18 (answer)
