Question 177677: I am not sure if this is the right topic it may be quadratic, sorry for the confusion, I have no idea what this is or how to do it. Please help
If a pro basketball player has a vertical leap of about 30 inches, what is his hang time? Use the hang-time function V=48T^2
Thank you,

Just substitute 30 for V and then solve for T. The thing is, you really don't have a hang time function. What you have is vertical leap as a function of time. What you need is hang time as a function of vertical leap. Just divide both sides by 48 and then take the square root:

Now all you have to do is substitute 30 for V and do the arithmetic.
