Answer:
0.64 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
In the equation provided:
h = −16t2 + 4t + 4
h is the height of the ball and t is time. Since we want to find the time when the ball touches the floor, then height is 0. This leaves us with the equation
-16 + 4t + 4 = 0
This is a quadratic equation can be solved with the following formula:
where a=-16
b=4
c=4
Solving for t we will find two different results:
Since time can't be negative, we discard t2 and choose t1.
Since it is required to answer in the nearest hundredth, we round the result to t=0.64 seconds.
The right answer is C
Let me to explain. From the graph we know that the vertex of this parabola is . This is a<em> maximum y-value.</em> We also know that the parabola <em>opens downward, </em>so the leading coefficient is negative. Given that the function is even and the leading coefficient is negative, it follows that the graph falls to the left and right. In a mathematical language this is:
