A ball is thrown directly upward from a height of 8 ft with an initial velocity of 24 ft/sec. The function s(t) = −16t²+24t+8 gives the height of the ball, in feet, t seconds after it has been thrown. a. Determine the time at which the ball reaches its maximum height and find the maximum height. b. How long after the ball is thrown does it land back on the ground?

(a)0.625s (b)1.569s

With this algebraic representation of physics, we can also apply the mathmatical concept of quadratics to derive the components from this function. You can use the line of symmetry: x = -b/2a. To find the minimum or maximum height because of its association with the vertex. This function is in the standard quadratic form: ax^2 + bx + c where x is t. According to this instance, a being -16, b being 24, and c being 8. t = -b/2a → -24/-32 = 3/4 which also represents the maximum value because a is negative so it is opening downward.

To find the max height, substitute the value of x back into the equation f(3/4) = -16(3/4)^2 + 24(3/4) + 8 →

-9 + 18 + 8 = 17ft [maximum height]

We already solved for the time (x) in terms of t which is 3/4 sec [time of maximum height].

step-by-step explanation:

the total is 23.97. 0.25% is off so you have to subtracting 25% from 100% and you will get 75% if you convert it to decimal you will get 0.75. you have to find the original because the formula is % times original = total.so you have the total and the % so you just have to plug it in.

answer: the answer is 127 degrees
