You could turn the mixed fractions into improper fractions so 4 4/6 would become 28/6 and 5 2/6 would become 32/6. Then you can subtract 32/6 by 28/6 which would be 4/6 simplified into 2/3

You want to subtract the heights. 5 2/6-4 4/6=5 1/3-4 2/3=2/3.

The height H of an ball that is thrown straight upward from an initial position 3 feet off the ground with initial velocity of 9

mariarad [96]

Answer:

The ball will be 84 feet above the ground 1.125 seconds and 4.5 seconds after launch.

Step-by-step explanation:

Statement is incorrect. Correct form is presented below:

The height $h(t)$ of an ball that is thrown straight upward from an initial position 3 feet off the ground with initial velocity of 90 feet per second is given by equation $h(t) = 3 +90\cdot t -16\cdot t^{2}$ , where $t$ is time in seconds. After how many seconds will the ball be 84 feet above the ground.

We equalize the kinematic formula to 84 feet and solve the resulting second-order polynomial by Quadratic Formula to determine the instants associated with such height:

$3+90\cdot t -16\cdot t^{2} = 84$
