A professional basketball player has a vertical leap of 37 inches. A formula relating an athlete's vertical leap v, in inches, to hang time T, in seconds, is V=48T^2. What is his hang time ?
==============================
Here's an example:
V = 43 inches
43 = 48t^2
t^2 = 43/48
t+=+sqrt%2843%2F48%29
t =~ 0.946 seconds
----------------------
Do it like that.
