If a Pro basketball player has a vertical leap of about 35 inches, what is his hang-time? Use the hang-time function
V=%2848T%5E2%29
35=%2848T%5E2%29 [Substitute "35" for the V-value. Solve for the T-value]
%2835%2F28%29=%2848T%5E2%2F48%29
0.72916=%28T%5E2%29
%28sqrt%280.72916%29%29=sqrt%28T%5E2%29%29
