\begin{frame} \frametitle{Exercises} % \begin{exampleblock}{} % Assume that a ball is dropped, % and we have the following measurements: % \begin{itemize} % \item height at time $0s$ is $490$m % \item height at time $2s$ is $472$m % \item height at time $4s$ is $414$m % \end{itemize} % Find a quadratic function for the height of the ball after time $t$.\\ % When does the ball hit the ground? % \end{exampleblock} Formula for the height: \begin{exampleblock}{} \begin{malign} h(t) = -5t^2 + t + 490 \end{malign} \end{exampleblock} \pause\bigskip When does the ball hit the ground? \pause When the height is $0$: \pause \begin{talign} &-5t^2 + t + 490 = 0 \quad \mpause[1]{\implies t^2 - \frac{t}{5} - 98 = 0} \end{talign} \pause\pause Solving the quadratic formula: \begin{talign} t = \frac{1}{10} \pm \sqrt{(\frac{1}{10})^2 + 98} \mpause[1]{= \frac{1}{10} \pm \sqrt{\frac{1}{100} + \frac{9800}{100}}} \mpause[2]{= \frac{1}{10} \pm \frac{\sqrt{9801}}{10}} \end{talign} \pause\pause\pause We know $100^2 = 10000$ \pause and $(100 - n)^2 = 10000 - 200n + n^2$.\\ \pause Thus $\sqrt{9801} = 99$.\pause \begin{talign} t = \frac{1}{10} \pm \frac{99}{10} \mpause[1]{\quad\implies\quad t = 10 \text{\;\; or \;\;} t = - \frac{98}{10} } \end{talign} \pause\pause Thus the ball hits the ground after $10$ seconds. \end{frame}
