Answer 2

The height of the baseball after 3.5 seconds is 31 feet.

Explanation:

Consider the provided expression.

The height of a baseball, in feet, is represented by this expression, where t is time in seconds.

`h=-16t^2+64t+3`

To find the height of the baseball after 3.5 seconds, substitute the value of t = 3.5 in above expression

`h=-16(3.5)^2+64(3.5)+3`

`h=-16(12.25)+224+3`

`h=-196+227`

`h=31`

Hence, the height of the baseball after 3.5 seconds is 31 feet.
