(5 points) To find the number of seconds it takes for the ball to reach 560 feet, we need to set the equation h = 560 and solve for t.
Given the equation h = -16t^2 + 64t + 512, substitute 560 for h, resulting in the equation 560 = -16t^2 + 64t + 512.
Rearrange the equation to form a quadratic equation: -16t^2 + 64t + 512 - 560 = 0, which simplifies to -16t^2 + 64t - 48 = 0.
To solve this quadratic equation, we can factor it by taking out a common factor of -16: -16(t^2 - 4t + 3) = 0.
The quadratic equation t^2 - 4t + 3 = 0 can be factored as (t - 3)(t - 1) = 0.
Setting each factor equal to zero, we have two solutions: t - 3 = 0 (which gives t = 3) and t - 1 = 0 (which gives t = 1).
Therefore, the ball reaches a height of 560 feet after 1 second and 3 seconds.
This means that after 1 and 3 seconds, the ball will reach a height of 560 feet before coming back down.
(5 points) Similarly, to find the number of seconds it takes for the ball to reach 432 feet, we set the equation h = 432 and solve for t.
Using the equation -16t^2 + 64t + 512, substitute 432 for h, resulting in 432 = -16t^2 + 64t + 512.
Rearrange the equation to form a quadratic equation: -16t^2 + 64t + 512 - 432 = 0, which simplifies to -16t^2 + 64t + 80 = 0.
Factor out -16 to get -16(t^2 - 4t - 5) = 0.
The quadratic equation t^2 - 4t - 5 = 0 can be factored as (t - 5)(t + 1) = 0.
Setting each factor equal to zero, we have two solutions: t - 5 = 0 (which gives t = 5) and t + 1 = 0 (which gives t = -1).
Since time cannot be negative, we discard the solution t = -1.
Therefore, the ball reaches a height of 432 feet after 5 seconds.
This means that after 5 seconds, the ball will reach a height of 432 feet before coming back down.
(5 points) To find how long the ball takes to hit the ground, we need to find when the height of the ball is 0.
Setting the equation h = 0, we get 0 = -16t^2 + 64t + 512.
Rearranging the equation, we have -16t^2 + 64t + 512 = 0.
Now, we can solve this quadratic equation. Using methods like factoring, completing the square, or the quadratic formula, we find the two solutions to be t = 4 and t = 8.
Since time cannot be negative, we discard the solution t = 8.
Therefore, the ball takes 4 seconds to hit the ground.
(3 points) To see if the ball can reach 592 feet, we need to substitute 592 for h in the given equation h = -16t^2 + 64t + 512.
After substituting, we get 592 = -16t^2 + 64t + 512.
Now, we can rearrange the equation to form a quadratic equation: -16t^2 + 64t + 512 - 592 = 0, which simplifies to -16t^2 + 64t - 80 = 0.
If we attempt to factor or use the quadratic formula, we will find that this equation does not have any real solutions.
Therefore, the ball cannot reach a height of 592 feet.
(2 points) To find the height of the building, we need to determine the initial height or the value of h when t = 0.
In the given equation h = -16t^2 + 64t + 512, we substitute t = 0 to obtain h = 0 + 0 + 512.
Therefore, the value of h when t = 0 is 512.
This means that the building is 512 feet tall.
