Question 1139478: Applications of Quadratic Equations​ (Modeling):
1.If you throw a ball straight up from a rooftop 160 feet high with an initial speed of 48 feet per​ second, then the formula h=-16t^2+48t+160
describes the​ ball's height h feet above the​ ground, t seconds after you released it. The ball misses the rooftop and eventually strikes the ground.
a) What is the height of the ball one second after you release​ it?
Solution​:Find
the value of h in the formula h​=-16t^2+48t+160 when t=1.
h=_____ feet
​
b) How long will it take the ball th hit the​ ground?
Solution​:Find the value of t in the formula h=-16t^2+48t+160 when h=0
It will take _______ seconds for the ball th hit the ground.

Solution​:Find

Do NOT enter h=_____ feet. How would we use that?
h(t) = -16t^2+48t+160
It's h(1)
​================
b) How long will it take the ball to hit the​ ground?
Solution​:Find the value of t in the formula h=-16t^2+48t+160 when h=0
Yea, do that.
-16t^2 + 48t + 160 = 0
Solve for t.
