3. A soccer player heads a ball from a height of 6 feet with an initial vertical velocity of 20 feet per second. The height h in

feet of the ball is given by h= –16t + 20t +6,
where t is the time elapsed in seconds. How long will it take the ball to hit the
ground if no other players touch it? State the method you used to solve this
quadratic equation and why you chose that method.

Answer:

Part A

1.5 seconds

Part B

By substitution and factorization because h = 0 at ground level

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

The height from which the soccer player heads the ball, h = 6 feet

The initial velocity of the ball, v = 20 ft./s

The height of the ball in feet, h = -16·t² + 20·t + 6

From the given equation of the ball, we have;

At the initial height, t = 0, from the given equation, h = 6

At the  ground level,  the height, h = 0, therefore, we get;

0 = -16·t² + 20·t + 6

Factorizing using a graphing calculator gives;

0 = 2 × (-8·t² + 10·t + 3) = -2 × (8·t² - 10·t - 3) = -2 × (2·t -3)·(4·t + 1)

∴ (2·t -3)·(4·t + 1) = 0

t = 1.5 or t = -1/4 = -0.25

Therefore;

The time it takes the ball to hit the ground, t = 1.5 seconds.

Part B

The method used in solving the given quadratic equation is by plugging in the value of 'h' as h = 0 in the given equation and factorizing the result because at ground level, the height, h = 0.

What is the first step to solve this equation: -3x + 11 = 44​
Verdich [7]
You subtract the 11 from both sides, then you get -3x = 33. Next, you divide -3 from both sides, and you get x= -11

Two buses leave towns 304 miles apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One bus travels 14 mih slower than the othe
8090 [49]

Answer:

The faster bus moves at 83mi/h and the slower one moves at 69mi/h.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define:

R₁ = rate of bus 1, this is the faster one.

R₂ = rate of bus 2, this is the slower one.

We know that one bus travels 14mi/h slower, then:

R₂ = R₁ - 14mi/h.

Now we know that:

Distance = Speed*Time.

If we add the distances that both busses travel in 2 hours, it should be equal to the initial distance between the buses, then:

R₁*2h + R₂*2h = 304 mi

Then we have the two equations:

R₂ = R₁ - 14mi/h

R₁*2h + R₂*2h = 304 mi

The first step is to replace the first equation in the second one, to get:

R₁*2h + (R₁ - 14mi/h)*2h = 304 mi

And now we can solve this for R₁.

R₁*2h + R₁*2h - 14mi/h*2h = 304 mi

R₁*4h - 28mi = 304mi

R₁*4h = 304mi + 28mi = 332mi

R₁ = 332mi/4h = 83mi/h

The faster bus moves at 83mi/h

And we know that the slower one moves at 14mi/h slower than this, then:

R₂ = R₁ - 14mi/h = 83mi/h - 14mi/h = 69 mi/h
