22. The height of a projectile as a function of time

Mathematics
1 answer:
ira [324]3 years ago

Answer:

The ball is six feet above the ground after two seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of a projectile as a function of time is modeled by the function:

\displaystyle h(t) = -2.5t^2 + 5t + 6

And we want to determine after how many seconds is the ball six feet above the ground.

In other words, we can let h(t) = 6 and solve for <em>t</em>. This yields:

\displaystyle (6) = -2.5t^2 + 5t + 6

Solve for <em>t: </em>

<em />\displaystyle \begin{aligned}6 &= -2.5t^2 + 5t + 6 \\ 0 &= -2.5t^2 + 5t \\ 2.5t^2 - 5t &= 0 \\ 2.5t(t-2) &= 0 \end{aligned}<em />

By the Zero Product Property:

2.5t = 0\text{ or } t - 2 = 0

Hence:

t = 0\text{ or } t = 2

In conclusion, the ball is six feet above the ground after two seconds.

First, he needs to run to the store. To get to the store from his apartment, he can walk 1.2 miles North and 0.5 miles East alon
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

If Henry walks along the sidewalks, he will walk 1.7 miles in total. It will take him 17 minutes to reach the store and another 17 minutes to come back.

If Henry cuts through the city, he will walk √(1.2² + 0.5²) = 1.3 miles in total. It will take him 22.3 minutes to reach the store and another 22.3 minutes to come back.

Even though Henry will need to walk a longer distance if he walks along the sidewalks, he will be able to reach the store and back back in a shorter time than if he cuts through the city.
