When will Peter's baseball hit the ground? Use mathematical evidence to explain your answer.

Question:

The height of Peter’s baseball is given by the graph below (See attachment)

Step-by-step explanation:

The (a) & (b) will be answered by making reference to the attachment.

Solving (a): Time to reach maximum height

The height is plotted at the vertical axis while the time taken is at the horizontal axis.

From the attachment; the following details can be observed

Using function notations, this can be represented as:

And the interpretation is that:

Peter's baseball reached the maximum height at 1.5 seconds

Solving (b): Time to hit the ground

The interpretation of this question is to solve for the x intercept of the graph.

From the attachment; the following details can be observed

Using function notations, this can be represented as:

And the interpretation is that:

Peter's baseball hit the ground at 4 seconds

proofs involving isosceles triangles often require special consideration because an isosceles triangle has several distinct properties that do not apply to normal triangles.(more about triangle types) therefore, when you are trying to prove that two triangles are congruent, and one or both triangles, are isosceles you have a few theorems that you can use to make your life easier.

step-by-step explanation:

an isosceles triangle has two congruent sides and two congruent angles. the congruent angles are called the base angles and the other angle is known as the vertex angle. ∠bac and ∠bca are the base angles of the triangle picture on the left. the vertex angle is ∠abc
