Question 205029: A red and green ball are tossed in the air at the same time. The red ball is given the velocity of 96 feet per second and its height (t) seconds after it is tossed is -16t^2+96t feet. The green ball is given a velocity of 80t feet per second and its height (t) seconds after it is tossed is -16t^2+80t feet. What is the polynomial difference (t) that represent the difference in the heights of the two balls? How much higher is the read ball 2 seconds after the balls are tossed? In reality, when does the difference in the heights stop increasing? Do I subtract the second polynomial term from the first to get the difference?
