The chs baseball team was on the field and the batter popped the ball up. the equation f(x)=80t-16t^2+3.5 represents the height of the ball above the ground in feet as a function of time in seconds. how long will the catcher have to get in position to get to the ball before it hits the ground?

The catcher has less than 5 seconds to get the ball

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

This is a vertical parabola open down

we know that

The ball hit the ground when f(x)=0 -----> x-intercept of the function

Remember that the x-intercept of the function is the value of x when the value of the function is equal to zero

so

using a graphing tool

The x-intercept is for t=5 sec    

see the attached figure

therefore

The catcher has less than 5 seconds to get the ball

29. because you will divide each number of months by 12 to find the number of years. which would mean, 5, 12.5, 16, 45, 50, 72.5. which is crazy. anyhow, i think you find the median in the middle. and yea hope your test goes good

Provide an equation
