Algebra.Com's Answer #609503 by Boreal(15235)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! h=-16t^2+64t \n" ); document.write( "h=48 \n" ); document.write( "Therefore, -16t^2+64t=48, \n" ); document.write( "16t^2-64t+48=0 \n" ); document.write( "dividing by 16 \n" ); document.write( "t^2-4t+3=0 \n" ); document.write( "(t-3)(t-1)=0 \n" ); document.write( "and t=1 and 3 seconds it will be 48 feet above the ground. \n" ); document.write( "It will hit the ground when -16t^2+64t=0, or t=4 seconds. \n" ); document.write( " |
