Spencer hits a tennis ball past his opponent. the height of the tennis ball, in feet, is modeled by the equation h(t) = –0.075t2 + 0.6t + 2.5, where t is the time since the tennis ball was hit, measured in seconds. how long does it take for the ball to reach the ground? a. 0.82 seconds b. 11.02 seconds c. 47.02 seconds d. 1.11 seconds you

Hence, option: B is correct (11.02 seconds)

Step-by-step explanation:

Spencer hits a tennis ball past his opponent. The height of the tennis ball, in feet, is modeled by the equation h(t) = –0.075t2 + 0.6t + 2.5, where t is the time since the tennis ball was hit, measured in seconds.

Now we are asked:

How long does it take for the ball to reach the ground?

i.e. we have to find the value of t such that height is zero i.e. h(t)=0.

or

i.e. we need to find the roots of the above quadratic equation.

on solving the equation we get two roots as:

t≈ -3.02377 and t≈11.0238

As time can't be negative; hence we will consider the value of t as t≈11.0238.

Hence it takes 11.02 seconds for the ball to reach the ground.

Hence option B is correct (11.02 seconds).

11.02 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The height of the tennis ball, in feet, is modeled by the equation where t is the time since the tennis ball was hit, measured in seconds.

To Find: How long does it take for the ball to reach the ground?  

Solution:

Now we are supposed to find How long does it take for the ball to reach the ground , i.e. h = 0

So, time cannot be negative

So, it take 11.02 seconds for the ball to reach the ground

step-by-step explanation:

he used the algebra tiles correctly.

step-by-step explanation:

given : 3x(2x-1)

solution :

since he used algebra tiles .

armando's solution is the same in the solution shown in figure

as he distributed 2x into x and x and wrote them vertically

and also write   -1 vertically

and 3x into x and x and x and wrote it horizontally

performing the multiplication in the algebra tiles we get

and solving the given expression :

3x(2x-1)

since solving the expression using tiles   and solving the expression algebraically we get the same answer

thus   we can choose the first statement as the answer to this problem which is "he used the algebra tiles correctly".
