Question 1049513: A punter kicks a football. Its height, h(t), in meters t seconds after the kick is given by the equation h(t)= -4.9t^2 + 18.24t + 0.8. The height of an approaching blocker's hands is modelled by the equation g(t)= -1.43t + 4.26. Can the blocker knock down the punt? If so what point will it happen?

-4.9t^2 + 18.24t + 0.8 = -1.43t + 4.26
-4.9t^2 + 19.67t - 3.46
t = .18 0r t= 3.83

t = .18
g(.18) ~4m
