A person standing close to the edge on top of a 32-foot building throws a ball vertically upward. The quadratic function h(t)=−16t^2+124t+32 models the ball's height about the ground, h(t), in feet, t seconds after it was thrown. a) What is the maximum height of the ball? __feet b) How many seconds does it take until the ball hits the ground? seconds

a) The maximum height of the ball is 272.25 feet

b) The balls take 8 seconds to hit the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) You know that the quadratic function h(t)=−16*t²+124*t+32 models the ball's height about the ground, h(t), in feet, t seconds after it was thrown.

Being a quadratic function of the form:

f (x) = a*x² + b*x + c

The vertex of a quadratic or parabola equation is the highest or lowest point on the graph corresponding to that function. When a> 0, the vertex of the parabola is at the bottom of it and indicates the minimum of the function. When a <0 the vertex is at the top and indicates the maximum of the function.

The value of x at the vertex is calculated by the expression:

The value of y at the vertex is calculated by substituting the value of x at the vertex into the quadratic function.

In this case, being a=-16, b=124 and c=32  you get that the maximum time is:

Then a maximum height of:

h(3.875)=−16*(3.875)²+124*3.875+32

h(3.875)= 272.25

The maximum height of the ball is 272.25 feet

b) When the ball hits the ground the height is zero. So h (t) = 0:

0=−16*t²+124*t+32

Applying the resolvent:

you get:

Since the time cannot be negative, the balls take 8 seconds to hit the ground.

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places

answer:   x*94 +688*6   = 267*100

94x+4128=26700    

94x=22572     /94

x=240.128
