Question 1030608: Please help me solve this I am really bad at algebra, and I don't understand how I can calculate this.
One of the most exciting plays in basketball is the dunk shot. The amount of time T that passes from the moment a player leaves the ground, goes up, makes the shot, and arrives back on the ground is called the hang time. A function relating an athlete's vertical leap V, in inches, to hang time T, in seconds, is given by: V(T) = 48T^2
a) A Basketball Player has a hang time of about 0.828 sec.
What is the Basketball Player�s vertical leap? (T = hang time)
b) The record for the greatest vertical leap in the NBA is held by Darryl Griffith of the Utah Jazz. It was 48 in.
What was Darryl Griffith's hang time? (V is the vertical leap)

The first is 48(0.828^2)=32.908 inches
48==48 t^2
t=1 second, because dividing by 48 gives t^2=1, and t=+1, since negative roots cannot be used here.
