The equation gives the height of the ball. That is, h is the height of the ball. t is the time. Since we are looking for the time at which the height is 8 (h=8), we need to set the equation equal to 8 and solve for t. We do this as follows:




This is a quadratic equation and as it is set equal to 0 we can solve it using the quadratic formula. That formula is:

You might recall seeing this as "x=..." but since our equation is in terms of t we use "t-=..."
In order to use the formula we need to identify a, b and c.
a = the coefficient (number in front of)

= 16.
b = the coefficient of t = -60
c = the constant (the number that is by itself) = 7
Substituting these into the quadratic formula gives us:



As we have "plus minus" (this is usually written in symbols with a plus sign over a minus sign) we split the equation in two and obtain:

and

So the height is 8 feet at t = 3.63 and t=.12
It should make sense that there are two times. The ball goes up, reaches it's highest height and then comes back down. As such the height will be 8 at some point on the way up and also at some point on the way down.
Answer:
A dependent variable is a variable (often denoted by y ) whose value depends on that of another. so it is the variable that changes depending on the numbers beside it.

Answer:
B. 12,17,23
Step-by-step explanation:
2,3,5,8, _,_,_
2,3 is increased by 1
3,5 is increased by 2
5,8 is increased by 3. theres our pattern, each time it increases it follows the next number so the next 3 numbers it would be increased by is. 4,5,6.
Now knowing it is 4,5,6 we need to add, start adding.
8+4=12. Which answers have 12 in them? B and C.
We know 12 is the next number, now we add 5 to that.
12+5=17.
B has 17 but C doesn't, so that tells you its most likely going to be B. To make sure add 6 to 17.
17+6=23. Its true that it is B, as B is 12.17.23.
Answer:
4000 sqft
Step-by-step explanation:
you multiply 5*10 which equals 50 then 8*10 which equals 80 then to find area you multiply 50*80 which equals 4000 sqft
