A ball is thrown from a height of 44 meters with an initial downward velocity of 6 m/s . The ball's height h (in meters) after t seconds is given by the following.
h= 44 - 6t - 5t squared 2
How long after the ball is thrown does it hit the ground?
Round your answer(s) to the nearest hundredth.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

h = -5t^2 - 6t + 44

I'll assume 0 meters is the ground height.  That would mean we want to know the time, t, for h to be = 0 meters:

h = -5t^2 - 6t + 44

0 = -5t^2 - 6t + 44

5t^2 + 6t -44 = 0

Solve using the quadratic equation:  2.43 and - 3.63 seconds.  We'll use the positive value:  2.43 seconds for the ball to reach the ground.  Save the -3.63 value for the Klingons.  

We can also solve by graphing the function, as per the attached image.  Note that the starting time of 0 seconds, the ball is at 44 feet.  It reaches the x axis at 2.43 seconds (where x = 0, the ground).

Answer:

t = 2.43 s (nearest hundredth)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation: [tex]h=44-6t-5t^2[/tex]

where:

  • h = height (in meters)
  • t = time (in seconds)

When the ball hits the ground, h = 0

[tex]\implies 44-6t-5t^2=0[/tex]

[tex]\implies 5t^2+6t-44=0[/tex]

Using the quadratic formula when [tex]ax^2+bx+c=0[/tex] and where:

  • a = 5
  • b = 6
  • c = -44
  • x = t

[tex]t=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

  [tex]=\dfrac{-(6)\pm\sqrt{(6)^2-4(5)(-44)}}{2(5)}[/tex]

  [tex]=\dfrac{-6\pm\sqrt{916}}{10}[/tex]

  [tex]=\dfrac{-6\pm2\sqrt{229}}{10}[/tex]

  [tex]=\dfrac{-3\pm\sqrt{229}}{5}[/tex]

  [tex]=2.43, -3.63 \ \textsf{(nearest hundredth)}[/tex]

As time is positive, t = 2.43 s (nearest hundredth)
