Question 608468: When a ball is thrown in the air, the height h of a ball in feet t seconds after the ball is thrown in the air, is given by the equation height = 25t–16t²
Use the quadratic equation to determine how many seconds goes by before the ball hits the ground? Answer by flame8855(424) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! when it hits the ground, height = 0
16t^2 -25t=0
t(16t-25) = 0
t = 0 , (at the beginning of the throw,
or
t = 25/16 seconds
