Avolleyball player sets the ball in the air, and the height of the ball after t seconds is given in feet by h= -16^2+12t+6. a teammate wants to wait until the ball is 8 feet in the air before she spikes it. when should the teammate spike the ball? how many reasonable solutions to this problem are there?

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

The graph of this function is a parabola that opens downwards

The line intersects this parabola, when

The teammate can spike the ball after 0.25 seconds or 0.5 seconds.

The two solutions are reasonable. When the volleyball is accelerating into the air, it passes a height of 8 after 0.25 seconds.

When the ball is dropping after it attains maximum height, it attains another height of 8 after 0.5 seconds again.

answer: 12

step-by-step explanation:

because yes

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
