The function h is given by h ( t ) = ( 1 − t ) ( 8 + 16 t ) models the height of a ball in feet, t seconds after it is thrown.

9514 1404 393
Answer:
- zeros: t = 1, t = -1/2
- no: the domain of the function is t ≥ 0
- 8 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The zeros are the values of t that make the factors zero.
1 -t = 0 ⇒ t = 1
8 +16t = 0 ⇒ t = -8/16 = -1/2
The equation is used to model height after the ball is thrown. We don't expect it to be a good model before the ball is thrown (t < 0), so the zero in that region is extraneous.
Only the positive zero is in the function's domain, so that is the only one that is meaningful.

When t = 0 (at the time the ball is thrown), the function value is ...
h(0) = (1 -0)(8 +0) = 8
The ball is thrown from a height of 8 feet.

Answer:
We estimate to have 8.33 times the number 6 in 50 trials.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us consider a success to get a 6. In this case, note that the probability of having a 6 in one spin is 1/6. We can consider the number of 6's in 50 spins to be a binomial random variable. Then, let X to be the number of trials we get a 6 out of 50 trials. Then, we have the following model.
We will estimate the number of times that she spins a 6 as the expected value of this random variable.
Recall that if we have X as a binomial random variable of n trials with a probability of success of p, then it's expected value is np.
Then , in this case, with n=50 and p=1/6 we expect to have number of times of having a 6, which is 8.33.
