Answer with Step-by-step explanation:
The height of the ball from the ground as a function of time is given by
The height of the ball at any instant of time can be found by putting the value of time 't' in the above relation as
Part a)
Height of ball after 2 seconds it is released is
Part b)
Height of ball after 4 seconds it is released is
First, let's see how 23 compares with the squares of the positive whole numbers on the number line.
1² = 1
2² = 4
3² = 9
4² = 16
5² = 25
The value of 23 is right between the square of 4 and the square of 5. Thus, the value √23 will be between 4 and 5.
Since 23 is much, much closer to the square of 5 than the square of 4, we can assume that the value √23 will be closer to 5 on the number line than 4.
Look at the attached image to see where I plotted the approximate location of √23.
You will realize that this approximation is pretty close since the actual value is roughly 4.80.
Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
