Awater balloon is tossed into the air with an upward velocity of 25 ft/s. its height h(t) in ft after t seconds is given by the function h(t) = − 16t2 + 25t + 3. show your work.

19. after how many seconds will the balloon hit the ground? (hint: use the quadratic formula)

Adecibel is a logarithmic unit that can be used to measure the intensity of a sound. the function y = 10logx gives the intensity of a sound in decibels, where x is the ratio of the intensity of the sound to a reference intensity. the reference intensity is generally set at the threshold of hearing. use the graphing utility to graph the decibel function.a whisper has a sound intensity of 30 decibels. use your graph to you complete the following statement. the sound intensity of a whisper is times the reference intensity.
