A person standing close to the edge on top of a 96-foot building throws a ball vertically upward. The quadratic function h = − 16 t 2 + 116 t + 96 models the ball's height above the ground, h , in feet, t seconds after it was thrown. a) What is the maximum height of the ball? b) How many seconds does it take until the ball hits the ground?

 a)  306.25 feet   b) 8 s

Step-by-step explanation:

Actually we have to find the function' s  h(t)  maximum meaning.

To do that we have to find the corresponding t - let call it t max

As known t max= (t1+t2)/2 where t1 and t2 are the roots of quadratic equation' s  

Lets find the roots t1 and t2

-16*t^2+116*t+96=0   divide by 4 each side of the equation

-4*t^2 +29*t+24=0

D=29^2+24*4*4=1225 =35^2

t1=(-29-35)/(-8)=8

t2=(-29+35)/(-8)=-6/8=-3/4=-0.75

t max=  (8+(-0.75))= 7,25/2=3.625 s

h max= -16*t max ^2+116*t +96= -16*3.625^2+116*3.625+96=306.25 feet

b) t2=8s is the time when the ball hits the ground.

  a) 306.25 ft

  b) 8 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The time at the maximum height is found from the equation for the axis of symmetry:

  ax^2 +bx +c   has axis of symmetry at x=-b/(2a)

For the given equation, the t-value at the vertex is ...

  t = -116/(2(-16)) = 3.625 . . . seconds

At that time, the height is ...

  h = (-16(3.625) +116)(3.625) +96 = (58)(3.625) +96 = 306.25

The maximum height is 306.25 feet.

b) The ball will hit the ground when h=0. From the vertex values in the first part, we know we can rewrite the equation in vertex form as ...

  h(t) = -16(t -3.625)^2 +306.25

This will be 0 when ...

  0 = -16(t -3.625)^2 +306.25

  (t -3.625)^2 = 306.25/16

  t = 3.625 +√19.140625 = 3.625 +4.375 = 8

The ball will hit the ground after 8 seconds.

step-by-step explanation:

there has been genes found in the x chromosome of males that have been linked to [homo/hetero]sexuality. in addition to the reign of the x chromosome, a section of chromosome 8 has also been link to, "alot of ppl are so " these facts were proven true after a 2014 study of a gay male and his strait brother. according to newscientist.com,"chromosome 14 and is mainly active in the thyroid, but also the brain. called tshr, it makes a type of receptor protein that recognises and binds to a hormone that stimulates the thyroid. in this way, the gene plays an important role in controlling thyroid function. the fact that tshr seems to be involved in sexual orientation fits with evidence that thyroid function seems to be linked to sexuality."

in conclusion, "ppl are so gay" due to their genetics.
