Algebra.Com's Answer #233135 by juicystarr17(1)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! At height 48 feet, -16t^2 + 64t = 48 \n" ); document.write( "=> 16t^2 - 64t + 48 = 0 \n" ); document.write( "=> t^2 - 4t + 3 = 0 \n" ); document.write( "=> t^2 - t - 3t + 3 = 0 \n" ); document.write( "=> t(t - 1) - 3(t - 1) = 0 \n" ); document.write( "=> (t - 3)(t - 1) = 0 \n" ); document.write( "=> t = 3, 1 \n" ); document.write( "Hence, the ball is at a height of 48 feet at time 1 sec and 3 sec. \n" ); document.write( "Answer: b \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
