A softball pitcher throws a softball to a catcher behind home plate. The softball is 3 feet above the ground when it leaves the

pitcher’s hand at a velocity of 50 feet per second. If the softball’s acceleration is –16 ft/s2, which quadratic equation models the situation correctly? h(t) = at2 + vt + h0 h(t) = 50t2 – 16t + 3 h(t) = –16t2 + 50t + 3 3 = –16t2 + 50t + h0 3 = 50t2 – 16t + h0

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. The quadratic equation that would best model the system described above would be h(t) = –16t2 + 50t + 3. We can check it by looking at the resulting units.

The resulting units should be in meters.

m [=] m/s²(s²) + m/s (s) + m [=] m -----> equal

So, it should be the correct answer.

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

h(t) = –16t² + 50t + 3

Explanation:

The general form of an equation such as this is h(t) = at² + v₀t + h₀, where a is the constant due to gravity, v₀ is the initial velocity and h₀ is the initial height.

We are given that the constant due to gravity is -16.

The initial velocity is 50, and the initial height is 3; this gives us the equation

h(t) = -16t² + 50t + 3

Hey there!

Before you start solving anything, you need to identify which situation you want to call event A and which you want to call event B. I usually just do it in the order of the events as they're given to me in the question, so:

A = S<span>tudent participates in student council
B = S</span><span>tudent participates in after school sports

Any problems that contain the word "given" in the question portion will want you to refer to </span>P(A | B)<span> = P(</span>A ∩ B)/P(B). P(A | B) literally means "probability of event A, given that event B has occurred." P(A ∩ B) is the probability of event A and B happening, and P(B) is just the probability of event B happening. We've been given all of that, so:

P(A | B) = P(A ∩ B)/P(B)
P(A | B) = 11% / 62%
P(A | B) = 0.11 / 0.62
P(A | B) = 0.18

There will be about an 18% chance that <span>a student participates in student council, given that the student participates in after school sports. 

Hope this helped you out! :-)</span>

Molodets [167]

Answer: option d.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the following formul given in the problem:

p=1-e^{-mt}

You know that:

The number of  customers serviced in an hour by the technical support representative is 6 costumbers, therefore:

m=6

As the problem asked for the probability that  a costumber will be on hold less than 30 minutes, we know that:

t=0.5

Substitute the values above into the formula.

Then, you obtain:

p=1-e^{-(6)(0.5)}=0.95 or 95%
