The equation h(t)=-16t^2+32t+12 gives the height of a baseball, in feet, t seconds after it is thrown from a platform. What is the height of the platform? What is the initial velocity when the baseball is thrown?

(a) 12 m

(b) 32 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The height of the platform is h(0) i.e. the height, h, at time t = 0 secs, since the ball would not have been thrown at that time.

Therefore, h(0) is:

The height of the platform is 12 m.

(b) The initial velocity when the baseball is thrown will be v(0) that is velocity when t = 0 secs.

We obtain velocity, v, by differentiating height, h, with respect to time:

Therefore, at time t = 0 secs:

The initial velocity of the baseball when it is thrown is 32 m/s.

yes

answer: a. 13/44

step-by-step explanation: judging by the information given to us, we are looking for experimental probability. we can see that 13 males have chosen chocolate ice cream. there are 44 ice creams in total (remember that the total is always the denominator). so our answer is 13/44.
