Question 991397: Henry throws a tennis ball over his house. The ball is 6 feet above the ground when he lets it go. The quadratic function that models the height, in feet, of the ball after t seconds is p(x)=-16tē+46t+6 How long does it take for the ball to hit the ground? Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The quadratic function that models the height, in feet, of the ball after t seconds is p(x)=-16tē+46t+6 How long does it take for the ball to hit the ground?
------------
I think it's p(t)=-16tē+46t+6 since there's no x on the right side.
---
p(t)=-16tē+46t+6
When it hits the ground, p(t) = 0
----
-16tē+46t+6 = 0
Solve for t.
Use the positive value.
