a) A baseball player hits a ball toward the outfield. The height h of the ball in feet is modeled by h(t) = -16t2 + 22t + 3, where t is the time in seconds. In addition, the function d(t) = 85t models the horizontal distance d traveled by the ball. If no one catches the ball, how long will it stay in the air?

b) To the nearest tenth of a foot, what is the horizontal distance that the ball travels before it hits the ground?

c)A pitch may result in a strike if its height is between 2.5 and 5 feet when it crosses home plate.
