Question 132560: 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
So I guess the problem would be set up as: 30 = 48T^2?
But, now for some reason I'm stuck. Please help.

%2830%29 =%28+48T%5E2%29
%2830%2F48%29=%2848T%5E2%2F48%29
%2830%2F48%29=%28T%5E2%29
%285%2F8%29=%28T%5E2%29
%28sqrt%285%2F8%29%29=%28sqrt%28T%5E2%29%29
