2. MULTI-STEP PROBLEM In slow-pitch softball, the ball is pitched in an underhand motion.
A batter in a softball game is pitched a ball
that has an initial height of 2 feet above the
ground and an initial vertical velocity of
35 feet per second.
a. Write an equation for the height h (in feet)
of the ball as a function of the time
t(in seconds) after it is pitched.
b. The batter hits the ball when it is 2.5 feet
above the ground. How long after the
ball is pitched is the ball hit? Round your
answer to the nearest tenth of a second.

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
