The shape of the graph of the given function is a parabola with the maximum point located at the vertex

The time after which the ball would hit the ground is approximately 2.54 secondsThe maximum height of the ball is 26.5 feet

Reasons:

The upward velocity of the ball, u = 40 ft./s

The height (h) of the ball at any time (t) is, h(t) = -16·t² + 40·t + 1.5

Required:

(a) The time after launch after which the ball will hit the ground

Solution:

The height of the ball when the ball hits the ground is zero, therefore

At the ground, h(t) = 0 = -16·t² + 40·t + 1.5

From the quadratic formula, we have;

$x = \dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4\cdot a\cdot c}}{2\cdot a}$

Therefore;

$t = \dfrac{-40\pm \sqrt{40^{2}-4\times (-16)\times 1.5}}{2\times (-16)}= \dfrac{-10\pm\sqrt{106}}{-8}$

t ≈ 2.537 or t ≈ - 0.037

Therefore

The number of seconds after launch after which the ball would hit the ground, t ≈ 2.54 seconds

The maximum height of the ball, is given from the x-value of a quadratic

function f(x) = a·x² + b·x + c, at the maximum height as follows;

$x = -\dfrac{b}{2 \cdot a}$

$t = -\dfrac{40}{2 \times (-16)} = 1.25$

Therefore;

h(1.25) = -16×1.25² + 40×1.25 + 1.25 = 26.5

The maximum height of the ball is 26.5 feet

Answer from: hfleysher

For this case we have the following equation:
h (t) = -16t2 + 40t + 1.5
To hit the ground we have:
-16t2 + 40t + 1.5 = 0
Solving the polynomial we have:
t1 = -0.04
t2 = 2.54
Taking the positive root (for being time) we have:
t = 2.54 s
For the maximum height we have:
We derive the equation:
h '(t) = -32t + 40
We equal zero and clear t:
t = 40/32
t = 1.25
We evaluated t = 1.25 in the function:
h (1.25) = -16 * (1.25) ^ 2 + 40 * (1.25) + 1.5
h (1.25) = 26.5 feet

the ball hit the ground at:
t = 2.54 s
The maximum height of the ball is:
h (1.25) = 26.5 feet

answer is 8x+24

area of vanessa's patio = length × width

given, length = (3x² + 5x + 10)

width = (x² - 3x - 1)

area of vanessa's patio = (3x² + 5x + 10)(x² - 3x - 1)

= 3x²(x² - 3x - 1) + 5x(x² - 3x - 1) + 10(x² - 3x - 1)

= 3x⁴ - 9x³ - 3x² + 5x³ - 15x² - 5x + 10x² - 30x - 10

= 3x⁴ - 4x³ - 8x² - 35x - 10

hence, expression of vanessa's patio = (3x⁴ - 4x³ - 8x² - 35x - 10)
