Answer:
Hence, option: B is correct (11.02 seconds)
Step-by-step explanation:
Spencer hits a tennis ball past his opponent. The height of the tennis ball, in feet, is modeled by the equation h(t) = –0.075t2 + 0.6t + 2.5, where t is the time since the tennis ball was hit, measured in seconds.
Now we are asked:
How long does it take for the ball to reach the ground?
i.e. we have to find the value of t such that height is zero i.e. h(t)=0.
or
i.e. we need to find the roots of the above quadratic equation.
on solving the equation we get two roots as:
t≈ -3.02377 and t≈11.0238
As time can't be negative; hence we will consider the value of t as t≈11.0238.
Hence it takes 11.02 seconds for the ball to reach the ground.
Hence option B is correct (11.02 seconds).
Multiple-3(x+0.6) and 6(x+2.4) you will get -3x-1.8=6x+14.4 then you add -3x + 6x you will get -9x=14.4+1.8 you add 14.4+1.8 that will give you 16.2 then divide that by -9
