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.
1 answer:
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:
72.73% probability of selecting a girl, given the flip resulted inheads
Step-by-step explanation:
A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.
Coin resulted in heads
Student is selected at random from a class of six boys and sixteen girls.
Desired outcomes:
16 girls, so
Total outcomes:
16+6 = 22, that is, 22 students, so
