During a baseball game, a player’s ball hit into the outfield is modeled by the equation h = –16t2 + 65t. a bird flying across the field follows the path modeled by the equation h = 8t + 20. let t be the time since the ball is hit and h be the height. what do the intersection points of the equations represent?

answer: what in the world is this

step-by-step explanation:

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

(7 x + 6 y) (49 x^2 - 42 x y + 36 y^2)

discussion:

the trick is to recognize that 343 = 7^3 and 216 = 6^3 and, in general,

a^3 + b^3 =   (a + b) (a^2 - a b + b^2).

in our case

343x^3+216y^3   =   (7x)^3 + (6y)^3

so take a = 7x and b = 6y in the above equation to get the answer.

you,
